    Bought this ac so i don't have to use apartment ac so much and run up my electric bill. Works great and has excellent features that I've never seen a portable ac have before.

    My daughter got a gaming computer and her room started to get hot. I was surprised at how much heat that computer produced. I didn't want to turn on the central air just for her room. This solved that problem. Her room is small and the window won't support a window air conditioner so I had to use this unit. It cools the room quickly and when you're at the temp you desire, it does a really good job of keeping it consistent at the temp set. Only real complaint is that it does take up quite a bit of space. I'll also save you some time, I did my shopping and compared prices for similar spec'd unit, and this was by far the cheapest. Don't know how durable it will be, but hopefully Best Buy will stand by it's own product if there is a problem.

    I've had this air conditioner for a few weeks now. With this being my 1st portable AC unit I have to say the versatility it offers is a real pleasure. If it's smoking hot outside I can put the vent in the window and cool down the room. If it's cool and breezy out I can remove the the vent and let the fresh air in. With my old air conditioner once it was in the window that was it. Assembling the vent kit was fast and easy. I assembled the vent kit for my mom's portable ac unit (a different brand) and it was a nightmare. The only issue I have is it's pretty noisy. I thought I just had a bad unit so I exchanged it for another one but it's noisy to. But to be able to move it from room to room with ease and open the window for fresh air whenever I want is worth the trade off to me.

    Works great, only issue I had when I opened the box & it being a used product is that the drain plug was cracked off & I bought the warranty so if it ever causes an issue I claim it, but other than that, it runs & works perfectly.

    This is an excellent portable A/C unit. It has a remote and can be plugged into a regular outlet and vented out a window. It cools very well and isn’t very noisy. Would definitely recommend!

    Great for toddlers bedroom. Not too loud and cools room fast. It is a bit heavy to carry if you live on the second floor. However, I would say it’s about the same weight as any other portable ac.

    This air conditioner is exactly what we needed, it cools a room enough to get it to a temperature where we can sleep quickly and quieter than I expected. It is a bit heavier than expected but the wheels make it easy to maneuver where you need.

    Very effective at cooling a medium sized room without taking up much space. Easy to set up. Reasonably priced. I would give it a 5 star rating except that it is somewhat loud even on the LOW setting.

    The unit operates with three fan speeds and includes a remote control for convenient adjustments. However, some users have noted that it can be noisy, especially on higher settings, and may increase electricity consumption with extended use. Overall, this air conditioner provides solid performance for its price point, delivering reliable cooling in compact spaces.

      Hi Brain! Thanks for the thoughtful review. It’s great to hear the unit is keeping your space cool and that the remote and fan settings are working well for you. We hear you on the noise at higher speeds—your feedback helps us improve. Stay cool!

    After finally giving up on trying to make a window AC work, we got this. What a great decision!! It cools our apartment very well. Our previous AC was set to high 24/7 and didnt cool half as well as this one, which we dont even have to leave on all the time. Especially love that you can set the temperature and it will turn on/off as needed. Very well made and doesnt feel cheap, and was much easier to install compared to our window AC. Well worth the cost!

    I need this AC for the master bedroom that was too far from the central evap cooler. I chose the AC version over the evap cooler cause I didn't want to mess with adding water or iced bottles to maintain the cooling mechanics. This little portable air conditioner adequately cools the room. I like its portability. It certainly does a very good job. I am going to buy a second one for the living room but the larger 300 or 350 sq ft. I am very please with the product.

    It works much better than I thought. It keeps it very cool at night in my bedroom and I can finally sleep with a 67 degrees room when it’s 105 outside here in Texas. Some people complained about the noise level but after a while it is not bad and it actually acts as white noise to go to sleep.

    Great Portable AC

    Hands down one of the best most vost effective portable ACs! 2 summers later it still runs great! Easy to clean and quickly cools my room down. It's not too hard to set up either, but I do wish it was more sustainable because I had to buy after market equipment to use as sealing and insulation. Like maybe if it compressible or inflatable mesh to form a seal in the window. Other than that I highly recommend! It's a great product.

    Wish I would have bought this for my additional room years ago. Has transformed it from uninhabitable to the most comfortable room in the home. Draining the system isn’t particularly fun or easy to accomplish but that’s a minor detail.

    Set up was easy with everything you need to install. Does a very good job cooling and I like that it has a remote. Noise level I would put at right in the middle, reasonably quiet. Unit is currently in my son's room and he loves it.
