    This portable AC unit basically does exactly what it advertises, minimal noise for AC unit and cools a room. Remote, self evaporating and adjustable vent for windows a plus !

    It’s no coincidence that I have had nightly dreams of working for SpaceX. The fan itself is modestly loud but when the compressor kicks in to cool my subconscious thinks we are listening to a launch. Another spacey thing: the LEDs are so bright that if you use the remote in the night you will think you are being abducted by aliens. I had to put a cover over the always lit temperature indicator because I’m above an age you need a night light and it is bright enough even when the other lights shut off. It cools ok, rolls ok, and the featherlight controls work well on the unit.

    The portable AC unit was just what we needed to keep the room cool during these recent hot days. Set up was easy and using the remote makes operating the unit a snap.

    Keeps my living room cool and if I set my fans up right, the cool air goes down the hallway! We live in an apartment that controls when your air comes on so this saved us for the month that we didn't have central air conditioning. Definitely worth every penny!

    Easy to set up. Quiet. I love the fact we do not have to empty a water tray. I bought 2 for two bedrooms. Last year I bought a portable and it gave me such issues, it was not this brand and I had to give back. I am so happy with these so far.

    We moved to a mountain town in the high desert and experienced our first summer without air conditioning. Did some research and bought this unit. Does a good job cooling down the bedroom. I deducted one star because after a couple months use it has gotten noisier.

    Effective AC unit

    Great unit. Easy set up and quick effective cooling. Bought unit to help cool our very warm 400+ sqft bedroom. We have central air but this room just never gets cool and there is no reason to crank up the ac for the rest of the upstairs so we tried this unit. It works great and we can keep the rest of the house at a reasonable temp.
