    Works very well! It’s a medium size portable ac. Temperature drops very fast from 92-75. Love how it has a sleep mode. It also doesn’t take a lot of space in my room.

    I'm very impressed with this product and how well it cools our bedroom and even makes the upstairs more comfortable. I opted for a excellent condition open-box item and saved substantially so I couldn't be more excited about the purchase. It was simple to setup and that was my first impression of it. The remote control is a great, great, convenience and I am so happy to have found this. Best Buy you are my favorite place for so many products and this one is at the top of the list especially since we have lived with a " summer sweat box " for WAY TOO LONG.

    Neat, compact, and easy to operate. Its almost enough to cool the room that it is in but the Texas sun beating down on the west side of my house makes it hard. This is my 5th summer without a/c. I am a senior citizen so I move to another room most afternoons.

    My central a/c went out and the part took a week to get in, so I had to have something to get me thru the 95 degree days. They had this unit in stock so I bought it. I was able to get it in the house & set it up myself with little effort. It worked great & kept my bedroom cool so I could make it until my big unit was up & running. I highly recommend this unit & I'm glad I have it on hand in case I need it again.

    It's pretty noisy and the exhaust hose is ugly. Otherwise, it's great. It's easy to set up (though it's very heavy), it's easy to move (because of the wheels), the settings are intuitive, and it definitely blows cold air. If you don't think you'll mind a noisy compressor or a big hose going out to your window, you should be very happy with this unit. Also comes with a fan-only setting and even a dehumidifier option.

    For cooling a small room, around 150 sq feet or so, it does the job. Easy on the pocket price wise. The exhaust tube is robust and not cheap. Sure, you will have to drain it about every could days, but no big deal. Easy to set up and operate. It really isn’t that loud either. There are bigger and better and fancier ones available, but if you need small, simple and cheap, this is a great choice.

    It gets the job done. Setup was pretty straightforward even for a klutz like me. Keeps our small bedroom ice cold and it cools it down fast. However, it is incredibly loud. So much so that my wife can't keep it on at night (which sorta defeats the purpose). That said, if you are looking for a cooling solution and don't care so much about the noise, this works well.

    These worked incredibly well and we got them super on sale. Unfortunately one of them sounded like a jet engine taking off and literally had to be lifted a few inches and dropped to stop the vibration noise that would come back over time. They are incredibly heavy and bringing them upstairs to both bedrooms was a chore to say the least. Honestly they were a great value minus the noise of one of the two we purchased, but after messing with window AC units for so many years we opted to return them for central AC. If we had a one story house we may have kept them but it was just going to be too much hauling them up stairs each spring and with the noise of the one unit we became concerned the other unit would eventually have the same issues

    A lifesaver! This little unit is perfect to keep our large bedroom cool for when we need it. Super easy to set up and take down and is small enough that we just store it in our closet until we need it again.

    It works, thermostat seems to be a little off and will turn ac off below the lowest setting but will still cool small rooms effectively. Can leave the fan running which is a plus. Cant speak for longevity. Installation is a breeze with a slide down window, can’t speak for a side sliding window

    This was a perfect fit for my kids room. It cools up really well for 300-400 saw size of room. You may don’t need turn on the regular AC. The only issue its noisy and you feel like you’re spending night in a plane.
