I use this air cond. in my bedroom and works good. Keeps my room cool and comfortable for sleeping. It also has 3 speeds, and a dehumidifier, and fan only option. I am glad I bought it. I also like that Best Buy gives free delivery. UPS delivers, excellent service.

The HONEYWELL was not as strong and cold as I expected , it only covered a very small area in a room, and the parts were very fragile, the tube size didn't allow the unit to be moved at all

OK, I gave this 3 stars because the machine works well. It pumps out air like a monster and looks nice. It is extremely heavy.
Cons: as hard as it pumps out air, it pumps out heat from the back just as bad. The vent hose in the back could have done with a locking clip feature to keep it in place when having to move the hose around to its window spot. The wheels also need an optional locking feature. I ended up having to cut up some old flip flops to put in between the casters to keep the machine from rolling with an accidental touch. Also, imo, it is loud.
I would recommend it, just be very careful with where you put it and who can access it. Small children and pets could likely get hurt.

I bought this to relace my aging ac unit that was noisey and loud and going out, this AC unit is quieter and works much more efficiently than my old 9k btu unit, i bought this 14k btu unit with the 5 year warranty, i would purchase this unit again, this is my second Honeywell 14k Portable unit, i had purchased my first one in 2016. Highly recommended.

AC was easy to setup and works great. I thought the price was a little high, but I am satisfied with it. However the window bracket kit was broke. I called customer service and they sent me a replacement. Customer service was very helpful and friendly.

When I picked up the box I was a little worried because it looked like a 800lb gorilla delivered it. The best buy associate said that the box was delivered that way and if I discovered damage upon opening I would not have a problem returning the item. Installation was easy the split exhaust coupling is a little tough putting together other than that its a breeze, When I turned it on I was a little skeptical that it would cool the room but after returning in about half an hour the room was very cool. The only other issue I have is vibration the plastic outer plastic skin vibrates which is a little noisy.

I have used it in my bedroom, about 200 SF. It’s great in cooling, it drop the temperature in few minutes but the compressor is so loud. It seems like there is something loose inside causing that noise. Not recommended for bedrooms or where you need quite environment.

A truly excellent portable air conditioner

I needed an air conditioner for a big living room in an old pre-war apartment building with windows that cannot accommodate a window unit. After reading poor reviews of portable units in recent yeas, I looked again this year and this Honeywell model was among those I noted for positive reviews. This air conditioner is fantastic. It was very easy to install (though if you have a smallish window you may need to use a saw to cut to size the plastic bracket that holds the hose). Most importantly, it has excellent cooling and airflow. It cools my living room/foyer (500+ sf) which share a wide open archway and you can feel the air at least 18 feet away from the unit. It is relatively quiet, in my opinion, and is nice looking for something that is pretty big and clunky. It’s a bit pricy, but if you need a stand-alone/portable unit, this one is well made and easy to use. I have started calling it R2D2 and it has made summer in New York City not just bearable, but downright cool.

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 window venting kit that comes with the unit measures 26.6 inches. It can then be extended from 36.2 to 52 inches. So, if the size of your window is smaller than this, then you will need to make modifications to the window bracket. Please feel free to write to our customer support team at [email protected] for any assistance or information. If you haven’t already, remember to go to HoneywellAirComfort .com/product-registration to register your product and warranty with us. Thanks again!

we like this portable ac. works great and cools of our 700 sq. ft. living space. we'd love to see a hose insulator accessory to accompany the machine, but will most likely go to hardware store for one, it gets pretty hot.

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 footprint covered by the exhaust is very little, so the insulation for it, or any amount of heat on the hose does not make a difference in the cooling capacity of the unit. Please feel free to get in touch with us at [email protected] for any assistance or information on insulation of the exhaust hose. If you haven’t already, remember to go to HoneywellAirComfort .com/product-registration to register your product and warranty with us. Thanks again!

Poor quality packaging . The first unit came with broken power cord pins/connectors. Second unit came with broken window bracket kit. Honeywell needs to improve packaging. The AC is noisy (usually I listen my TV on volume 7. When I have AC on then I need to move that up to 16). It takes hours to cool down my living room. If ext temp is ~90, AC can't go lower than 78. Overall is just ok.

Honeywell hit it out of the park with this portable air conditioner.
I have owned several that have lasted about 3 years each. I have had to tear them apart to recycle and they have been loaded with lint, hair, etc.. Most mfg. have no access panels to the inside coils, Honeywell does. When I opened it to winterize it was still absolutely pristine inside.
Coils were perfectly clean. It's cooling is far superior to any others I have owned.

I bought this for our main bedroom since I didn't want the hassle of putting the air conditioner in during the summer and having to remove it in the fall. This solved my problem and allows for the hot air to be exhausted outside without removing the window screens. Only comment - I would put the lower drain plug higher so that a large pan can be put underneath.

Only cools after sunset

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
We purchased this for our 350 sq ft room as the 400 couldn’t handle the room size. Well, while the sun is up during the day, it keeps the room between 88-90 degrees and only cools down further after the sun sets. We keep the curtains closed and that doesn’t help.
Secondly, the “self-evaporating” air conditioner doesn’t evaporate. We had to use the continuous drainage function into a 3 gallon bucket, which I had to empty every couple of hours; so, while we were sleeping, I used a 10 gallon storage bin. That filled up to about 5 gallons over hours.
Lastly, the window kit comes with two pieces, that don’t fit windows smaller than 28” and if you need the 28” extension, the minimum size your window can be is 38”. I contacted the company to see if I could purchase a smaller size. They informed me that that the two 28” pieces are all they manufacture and suggest I cut it down to size with a hand saw.
So, unless you want an overpriced dehumidifier, I would pass on purchasing this portable “air conditioner”.

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. Our portable air conditioners work on self evaporation and they do not need to be emptied unless operating in very humid conditions. The window venting bracket that comes with the unit measures 26.6 inches. It can then be extended from 36.2 to 52 inches. The bracket can be installed both vertically and horizontally. If the size of your windows is smaller than this , you will have to make modifications to the bracket, and it can be simply cut by taking it to a local hardware store. Our customer support team will be able to look into any additional concern 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 BBA0719.

The a/c does a good job. Cools the entire downstairs part of my house on the hottest days. It will not cool below 71. So don't buy if that is your intent. Does a great job dehumidifying the house as well. Great product thus far.

The flap is supposed to open and close on its own. There’s a label to tell you not to force it open. That worked for a couple days. Now we have to pull it open ourselves. Otherwise, great product.
