    Good product. Easy to install, works as I'd hoped. It was pretty much "plug & play" ready.

    Suprisingly great AC unit - insanely heavy to get from the car to your house, but once out of the box it's on wheels. Pretty easy to set up and attach to window.

    This machine surprised me. With all the bad press these things get, I had low expectations going into it. Thankfully, after getting it set up in my bedroom, it started cooking almost immediately. I have insulation tape around the hose where it connects to the AC and to the window panel. Because of the humidity in my location, I have a continuous drain setup so I don’t have to worry about draining. It cools my smallish bedroom perfectly.

    Purchase 2 different units. The first one made very loud noises when the condenser kicked in. Then it struggled the entire time running the condenser. The sound was almost as if a car was struggling to turn on. While that noise was going on, it also sounded as if the unit was shutting on and off repeatedly. Ended up getting a second unit from a completely different best buy, this one's better but sounds like it's turning off and on. It's a very hard to ignore concerning noise. Also my bill had shot up almost 250 bucks each month it ran for only 8-9 hours a day. I had an LG portable that ran longer and didn't experience that type of bill hike.

    The way my house is designed, the bedroom is unfortunately located right above the garage. During the summer especially the heat gets to be unbearable, this portable AC unit honestly has made it significantly more comfortable in here. Havent had any issues, highly recommend for a bedroom sized room for sure !

    Works extremely well! I use in my daughter’s bedroom and it cools it down in just minutes. It’s especially come in handy with this hot summer weather, temperatures being in the 90’s and low hundreds haven’t stopped this AC from doing its job! It’s not too loud either which is a plus, my previous portable AC would make very loud noises for some reason and it would scare the bajeezus out of me.

    Bought this unit to cool down our bedroom (13x13) during the night as our room gets hot. Keeps it cool and crisp! It does make a fair bit of noise when its cooling, but is quieter when just the fan is running to circulate. It does have a sleep feature but we mostly leave it running throughout the night.

    I owned 5 portable air conditioner in my lifetime. I owned 3 Amanda's. This air conditioners is way better than that brand. It is easier to set up. Keeps my daughter cooler that she sleep as soon as she goes to bed. When you turn it on the lid opens up and closes down when shut off. This is one of the best that I have ordered and the price was just right. The quality is excellent. My daughter is very happy and I am very much satisfied with this purchase. I do recommend you to buy it especially at this affordable cost.

    This air conditioner has been a lifesaver! My room was registering in the 80s - even with AC running through my home. This portable unit was able to cool down my room to a comfortable temperature. It is a little loud, but it's more like white noise at this point.
