    I use this for my living room during the summer. It runs about 500sqft in total, second floor above the basement it it keeps use nice and cool throughout the summer. Only down sides are that it is very loud, and because we are running it in a bigger room it be turned on before it gets hot.

    I live in a three bedroom apartment and I placed my portable air conditioner in my living room and it cooled off the whole house due to the fact that the central air was not working, and I had to wait for a replacement

    Good working unit. Be warned draws alot of power. Instructions not so clear you do not need to run a hose drain if exhausting out the window and using A/C mode. I cut up two new hoses for nothing!

    Gave decent cooling, but is incredibly loud compared to most other brands at the same price. Rated low only because it just doesnt make sense to buy it over other brands.

      The sound level of portable air conditioners varies depending on the fan speed. They're approximately 59 dBa (decibels) at the maximum fan speed setting. By way of comparison, 60 dBa is the sound level of normal conversation measured 3 feet away; the average ambient noise level in a home is 50 dBa. A vacuum cleaner produces 70 dB measured 3 feet away. If you believe the noise is abnormal, we recommend you take advantage of the one year warranty by calling us at: 1-800-432-2737. -Don@GEAppliances GE_Appliances

      Thanks for sharing your feedback on the sound level and performance. Regarding the leaking, if your unit is properly installed and leveled, it should not leak inside the home. Be sure the exhaust vent connections are secure, since any air leaks can reduce efficiency and cause moisture buildup. The exhaust hose should also be positioned correctly, with part of its length resting on the floor. Additionally, the unit must sit on a flat, level surface so the internal moisture tank can function correctly, shutting the unit off when full and preventing overflow. -- If those tips don’t help, we recommend seeing page 17 of the Owner’s Manual for warranty exchange information. The Owner’s Manual can be viewed at the bottom of the Features tab on the product page of the Best Buy website. Lauren@GEAppliances GE_Appliances

    I am so incredibly disappointed in this unit. I had to drain the water from it multiple times in the first 24 hours, and one of those times it leaked all over my floor before I noticed. It is very loud, roughly 10db louder than what it claims, it rumbles so strongly my floors shake, and the fan squeals intermittently for extended periods of time in a variety of mind-numbing tones. It performed very poorly cooling my 100 sq ft bedroom. 100 sq ft! I will be returning it ASAP and just ordering something online thats actually worth the $550 dollars I spent on this piece of junk.
