I bought this after reading all the good reviews . However , we set it up just like it said and with in a few hours it was leaking all over the place . We knew you eventually have to drain it but we emptied it and it still leaks all over the place . I’m taking it back to exchange for a new one . Very upset being I paid a lot for it .

We are sorry for the inconvenience caused to you because of this portable air conditioner. This is not what you should expect from our units. Sometimes, due to their weight, these portable air conditioners get damaged during transit, and that might explain why it was leaking. Our units are covered by a 1- year limited warraty, which means you could be eligible for a warranty exchange if the unit is found to be manuafctured defective and was purchased new. 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 BBA0619 and we will be happy to connect with you. Thank You !

Poorly Designed and Poorly Functioning Unit..,

This is an expensive item and does not cool as well as I would expect it too. The other issue is when the humidity is high, water collects and the drain is located at the very very bottom of the unit and it is impossible to lay a pan flat on the ground to collect the water that drains out. Who ever engineered this in this day and age clearly has no focus on the end user. I would never buy this unit again.

We are sorry for the inconvenience caused to you because of this portable air conditioner. 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 efficiencies and there are ways to increase the capacity of these units. Your feedback about the drain pan is important to us, as we continue to develop and enhance our units. Our customer support team will be able to look into all your concerns and troubleshoot for you. Please call us at 1-800-474-2147 between 8:30 and 5:30 PM EST (Monday through Friday) or send us an email at [email protected], with the reference code number BBA0717. Thank You !

Thank you for your review! We're happy to hear you're satisfied with the performance of our Honeywell Portable Air Conditioner, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. Hello! It is possible to make the provided window venting kit work with casement windows. There are various examples online that you can follow. One is to cut a piece of Plexiglas to the size of your window, and cutting a hole for the window bracket panel adapter to vent the air outside. Please feel free to write to us at [email protected]. Our customer support team will be happy to assist you. If you haven’t already, remember to go to HoneywellAirComfort.com/product-registration to register your product and warranty with us.

Purchased as "excellent" condition open box. The item did look excellent and was well packaged. BUT this think makes water more than niagra falls. Flooded my room multiple times, it's supposed to shut itself off if it is full, but it just keeps going. Water every where. I have two other (different brand units) in my house and this is the only one that does this. Returned and glad to be rid of it.

We are sorry to hear this ! Our portable air conditioners 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 needed to be drained often. 'Open Box' or refurbished units are not covered by Honeywell warranty. 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 BBA0815. Our customer support team will be happy to assist you with any future product related concerns. Thank You !

Thank you for your review! We're happy to hear you're satisfied with the performance of our Honeywell Portable Air Conditioner, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. These units tend to get a little heavy, due to the poweful compressors in them to cool the space you need it to.

Thank you for your review! We're happy to hear you're satisfied with the performance of our Honeywell Portable Air Conditioner, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. The length of the continuous drain hose is determined keeping in mind the amount of water it can expel using the force of gravity, and we do not recommend lengthening it.

I bought this ac in June for my small living room, by July the ac was leaking water all over my floor. In a matter of hours there would be a puddle of water on the floor. So much money spent on an ac that lasted 1 month and unfortunately I was not able to return it.
