Not easy to get bracket into window

The unit its self has seemed ok only bought 2 days ago. The window kit and bracket are built worse then the older models very cheaply. Nothing secures the hose to the bracket other then 3 plastic tabs if you barley move the hose falls right off.
The window bracket on a double high vynl window left me swearing, my new windows have a lip so bracket can no sit flush, had to figure out how to get it to sit on a surface 4 sizes smaller the the bracket also leaves a good ammount of air space in between the extention piece.

AVOID AT ALL COST! I am an HVAC installer, I work constructio for 25 years, and I am training to become a state inspector. Trust me when I say to avoid this brand and unit.
The unit was purchased new in bestbuy, it blows hot air (the hose blows out cooler air than the actual unit). Unit has a damaged coil with burn marks and the coil fins chard and damaged. The hose is as cheap as they come and only 4ft long and not long enough for the unit to sit on the floor and the hose to reach normal window height (normally they are 6ft.) Honeywell does not even include sealing foam for the window like all other portable Ac units come with.
I will avoid ALL future honeywell products from now on. Absolute trash!

We are sorry for your experience with our portable air conditioner. Our units work best in well enclosed, insulated spaces. Room environment conditions such as ceiling height, sunlight, number of windows/ doors and level of insulation can affect cooling efficiency. The length of the exhaust hose is scientifically determined keeping in mind the amount of hot air the unit can expel, and we do not recommend lengthening it. Our customer support team will be able to look into all your concerns and troublshoot for you. Please call us at 1-800-474-2147, Monday - Friday 8:30 AM - 5:30 PM (EST), or send us an email at [email protected] with the reference code number BBA0621. We look forward to hearing from you.

I purchased this item less than a month ago. Condensation appears on the top where you turn it on and off. Also on the front and sides of the air conditioner. When I first plugged it up water and the air conditioner was running about an hour, water filled an overflow pan frequently and I was unaware it was filling up. It has warped the floor and rug.

These units work on self evaporation and do not need to be drained unless operating in very humid conditions. You may need to check the environment conditions of the area you are operating the unit in, in order to ascertain why it was filling the water reservoir that frequently.

I bought the A/C during the summer while the heat was at it's peak. Thankfully the product worked have helped me sleep and found comfort in my living space. I gave the Honeywell portable a/c a 4 star review because of the drainage issue and noise the product creates, though both problems are tolerated it would be perfect if the product was not as noisy or dripped a gallon of water during a six hour period of use. Either than that it has four wheels that are durable and smooth, cools the room instantly, and its dependable.

The air moves up and to the left of the unit so don't expect much cooling if you like the air to be on you. It works for my largish room (20x15) but a smaller room (10x10 or something) would be better for it. I'm not sure if the coils ice over because I'm in a larger room or if it's a design flaw, but if you have it draining constantly into a bucket or outside it works well enough. Just turn it off ac for a few minutes and you'll hear the ice break and water flood out. It would be 5 stars if it removed the moisture it builds up but it works well. Also a wheel was broken during shipment but i put it on a upside down milk crate and put a board under the front of it to drain back

I purchased this Honeywell portable air conditioner in exchange for a different brand that I had returned. So happy with this one! It’s so easy to operate and take care of, but the best thing is how well it works! I have it in my bedroom which is in an old uninsulated farm house. This room gets hot in the Texas summer! I turn it on in the evening and set the temp to 72 degrees. By the time I’m ready for bed, my room is nice and cool, and it stays that way all night. I’ll be purchasing a couple more in the near future. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was because it was hard to put the vent together.

Not really easy to assemble the hose, it was supposed to come assembled based on the instructions but that was not the case with the unit I purchased. Also, the window kit did not fit the window, it keeps falling down. Very noise but I guess that’s the standard with these units

Defective & included kit isn't comprehensive

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Air conditioner arrived defective, short-cycling immediately. Furthermore, the kit it comes with is not as comprehensive as you would hope. No included pan for moisture collection which isn't a huge deal as any container can really do but would be nice to have. The included hose also doesn't stretch past 47 inches which means if your window is even slightly higher than average or behind a ledge it will be a pain or impossible to get the hose to reach and you will be buying from a third-party to make it reach which further delays how long you wait for your AC to be of use.
If the product arrived in working condition this would be a 3-star rating. Spending ~$450 on a less-than-perfect product without the necessary items for use isn't what I had in mind upon purchasing.
TL;DR: Product was broken and too expensive for a less-than-ideal installation kit anyway. Returning to spend money on another brand.

So far so good. Hasn't needed to be drained at all despite decently humid high 80s temperatures. Works pretty well in my living room, but you have to realize its not going to cool a large room down below 70 very well. It's not on the same level as a mini-split or central AC system and it was never meant to be. Its as the company says, its meant for small enclosed rooms. Works in my living room despite this anyways. I have an older model that's been running for almost 4 years and that's why I bought this one.
I will say the hose set up is absolutely infuriating. The manual claims it will be preassembled but came in pieces and was extremely difficult to put together, and there are no instructions for it whatsoever. Honeywell, you need to make sure these stupid hoses are actually preassembled as stated. Almost returned it just because of that.

It’s an alright product but I would buy it again,
Sometimes it calls for the water to be drained and there’s like 3oz,for the price at least the remote shouldn’t light up but it doesn’t, there’s some damages to the product that I didn’t noticed until I cleaned the filters, and some reasons at random times water starts to pour out of it like if the unit was sweating
