    My wife and I decided to buy this portable air conditioner because we travel for sports and we use it in our tent and it works great. I recommend it to everyone who is looking for a portable air conditioner.

    Bought this for my bedroom. It keeps it at a cool temperature and makes it easier to sleep. Machine is noisy but it doesn't bother me as I need some background noise to sleep.

    Unit was under $290.00 great price considering that many items have gone up in price. Chills quickly and the remote control feels great and sturdy not cheap.

    Central air went out & instead of spending $6k on a new one, I ran to Best Buy and bought this. It works great for cooling multiple rooms on our first floor probably due to the open floor plan, but this size is probably realistically best for a single room. Depending on your layout it might only require a small amount of floor space, I put it in a corner window. Very easy & quick setup

    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.

    Amazing air conditioner! It cools down my room just like I wanted it to, it is not as noisy as many of the other reviews make it sound like (it is a bit, but nothing unbearable), and it is extremely user friendly and easy to install.

    This worked well! It definitely will only work for one room that is a closed off room. We had it in our living room that extends to other rooms in the house and it would only cool the room it was directly in. It is quite large though and the hose coming out of it is rather large as well... definitely an eye sore wherever you put it and not discrete at all with the hose. It was easy to install and easy to manage and use...It is also a little loud, but overall it did what we needed it to do for the time being.

    My condo association only allows portable A/Cs. The problem is that portable A/Cs generally suck. The last two summers I’ve bought and returned a few because they were essentially noise machines. Name brand stuff, too. I usually just decided my only option was to stay at my girlfriend’s or my parents’ places every summer instead of trying to sleep in my own sweat. It’s 105 outside right now. Plugged it in the living room and let it run for twenty minutes. Figured it worked okay until I walked into my bedroom and and the difference was probably 15 degrees. It works almost as well as a window unit. Decided to move it into my tiny bedroom instead and it works even better. It doesn’t get as frigid as I like it, but at least I’ll be able to sleep in my own bed, and the price was right.

    Great condition, easy and quick to install, works and keeps us cool, not cold, which is fine. I keep a bucket for the narrow hose to drain into. Sometimes little to no water comes out, sometimes we've had to empty the full bucket of water out overnight. Works well, you may want to turn it off while sleeping if you don't want to have to get up and check on the water. Otherwise, glad we bough it.
