    This air conditioner works great, but the hose in the holder doesn’t like to stay put.

    I like the ease of installation, cools okay but somewhat challenging to empty water from dehumidifier without making a mess...

    It makes the room cool but not cold. Too pricey for the job it makes. Its huge size doesn’t compare to its power.

      Thank you for your review! We're happy to hear that the unit is working well to cool the space you need it to. Our portable air conditioners work best in well enclosed, insulated spaces. Though this unit can cool a space of 400-550 sq.ft, 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 their capacity. Please feel free to call us at 1-800-474-2147 (Monday - Friday between 8:30 am - 5:30 pm) or send us a note at [email protected] with the reference code number BBD1028. We would be happy to look into all your concerns and troubleshoot for you. Thank You ! JMATEK

    I purchased this free standing unit it to cool my bedroom because the central air doesn't have enough oomph. I didn't want to have a window installed unit. It was easy to setup. However it's setup to handle windows that open up and down not sliding to the side so the attachment to vent out the hot air is too short. It's too noisy for me to sleep through when running with the compressor. It cools moderately well but not great.

    Support is Terrible

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

    Product performed well but returned because mobility was deterred because the window piece was either to large or to small for window. To use it had to be tap0ed on the window. This allowed for total inconvenience. Contacted support with them having a devil may care attitude. There was not another adapter for the window. I have standard size windows.. They hen suggested I take it to Home Depot to have them saw to correct dimensions. This is not proper since not purchased from Home Depot. Also, that eliminates the portability from room to room. When told about this and my concerns their reply was simply texting me a picture of what they use. A simple miter box and saw. I became so frustrated I simply returned to Best Buy. Support for this product is very POOR.

    it looks great (a bit bulky though) and cools down the room but couldnt get room temperature to get much below 80. Additionally, window piece to which exhaustion hose is attached does not lock - had to use some tape to keep it closed

    This was great for the summer heat. Slept like a baby and was worth buying. Only thing I didn't like was a little loud than other ACs, but I didn't mind since it kept me cool.

    So far so good. I purchased this item to help my studio AC during the summer months. Good features; however already has some scuffs that I can't get rid of. My only issued was the delivery, because the box was delivered pretty much ripped and the AC was exposed.
