Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the 450 Sq. Ft. Portable Air Conditioner's cooling power and its ability to cool their entire apartment quickly. They also appreciate its easy setup and portability. However, some customers find the noise level to be a bit loud on the high setting. Additionally, it requires a window to be open in order to use it, which may not be ideal for all users.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    The worst purchase I ever made

    This item was broken (stopped working after 20 minutes), clearly used in a home with animals (covered in dog hair), and shipped in a "box" that had no bottom. False advertising all around. On the bright side, I have learned never to buy from Best Buy's Open Box system.

    We bought this for our lake house. We placed it in the sunroom and it didn't get any cooler than 71 degrees. We ended up returning this product to Best Buy, with no hassle. We are now going to purchase a window unit.

    I bought this A/C about a little over a month ago and use it in my apartment bedroom, it does not cool down my room, I set the temp to 67° and it I'll not cool lower than 70°. Not sure if I got a defective model, will get a hold of Geek squad to get it checked.

      We are sorry to hear this ! Our units work best in enclosed, well insulated spaces. Room environment conditions such as ceiling height, sunlight, number of windows/ doors and level of insulation can affect cooling efficiency and there are ways to increase the capacity of these units. There could be other reasons for the unit to not cool- temperature setting could be too high, the dust filter could be dirty, or the air outlet could be blocked.
      Please do give us a call 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 BBA0711. We look forward to making this right for you. Thank You ! JMATEK

    Wouldn’t recommend this unit. It struggles to hit temps in the 70’s when it’s in the high 80’s / low 90’s outside. Then it will shutdown once it has collected enough water. Sweaty summer, should’ve invested in a double hosed unit with greater capacity.

    Unfortunately I can not review how well this product actually works . I was looking forward to this unit but it just didn’t fit in any of my windows . The exhaust fitting for the window is adjustable and I tried it in three different sizes window and it wouldn’t work in either of them .

    Great Portable AC

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    After reading some of the reviews I was a bit nervous about buying this product, but I am so glad I did. After 5 days, I feel like I can provide an honest review of the product. What I like about the AC is the easy set up! The unit does come with an installation kit and an easy to follow manual. My only issue with the installation is the length of the hose. I would of preferred it to be a little longer so that I can move it around. my apartment more (personal gripe). The AC cools off my apartment very well. You can adjust the temperature to your liking and it has a low and high level. I love the digital controls and my favorite feature is the timer on it. Before I leave for work, I turn on the timer and when I come home from my day the air is on and my apartment is cool. The noise level is pretty average. It doesn't bother me at all. Overall, I am very satisfied with the product. I highly recommend purchasing this unit.

    I’ll start off by telling you that we had to return this product. Hot air ran from the back when we had the fan running. It was not safe and we returned it before we were able to use the air conditioner feature.

      We are sorry for your experience with this portable air conditioner. This is not how you should expect to receive this unit. Sometimes, due to their weight, packaging gets damaged in transit, which might explain why the box arrived opened, with parts missing. Our customer support team will be able to look into this and troubleshoot for you. Please do give us a call 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 BBA0907.

    This doesn't have the ability to cool 120 sq foot let alone the advertised 400. We returned this and went with a Mitsubishi ductless unit which costs more but does the job.
