    The unit was amazingly simple and easy to install. It took no time at all. Honestly it cools alot more than what it’s surprisingly rated for, and it has quite a choice of settings as well to really set the right experience. Best Buy always has the best brands and choices for my family. This product is another reason why you cant go wrong with them. Ps chilllllly

    Cools up within 10 minutes! Pretty heavy but overall easy to put together. People say it’s noisy but I don’t think so... it’s just like any regular air conditioner

    I had low expectations for the price point but this unit is terrific. We live in an apartment and the a/c can never keep up once temps rise above 80 or so. This unit reliably keeps our living room cool at around 70-75 depending on the outside temp. Absolutely worth it. Best price I’ve seen for this size unit as well, works just as good at the brand names!

    A LIFESAVER for a small apartment

    I live in a micro apartment in WA, and when it suddenly started warming up last summer, I wasn't ready for it. Moving from AZ, I thought it would be nice and cool, but the humidity and heat wave combined to make for a... less than nice experience. I looked around for anything to cool my apartment down potentially, and ended up giving this unit a shot, and I'm glad I did. It got me through my first summer last year, and this year, it's been doing a good job keeping my room reasonably cool. I will say, it definitely became far less effective over time (now it can keep my room at around 70, whereas it used to keep my whole apartment at a cool 62), but it still gets the job done. For a tiny 150 sq ft. apartment with no fans or AC, this thing is a no brainer.

    Worked well at cooling a 20x15 master bedroom while my AC was out. The window mount needs more height for compatibility with all windows. I needed to place a trimmed 1x2 board underneath it to clear the ledge on my window sill.

    I bought this last year. Absolutely love it! Keeps the room nice and cool and gets it’s cool quickly! We have two other portable air conditioners that we paid a lot more money for and in my opinion, this one works better! Highly recommend

    I love it. It does take a while to cool my bedroom but if I turn it on an hour before bed that’s fine. I don’t like that the water draining hose isn’t that long so I need to have a bucket there. The hose also molds easy and it’s hard to clean but the unit itself works great! It was easy to set up and it’s not too loud.

    Works great! Got this for the kids' bedroom. Works great. I didn't realize it had a valve to close and the first couple of nights, we ruined our carpet but that was my own fault for not checking. The product is great!

    This unit cooled my son’s bedroom from 85 degrees to 76 degrees in 30 mins. More efficient than running the whole house AC as his room is the hottest room in the house. Very easy set up. Very easy to use.
