    Been using this unit for a couple weeks now. Blows cold air, like the additional features like adjusting the fan to blow more directly. No complaints

    This a/c is just what we needed. We have to have it to go to sleep at night and it does the job. We have my elderly father in law living with us and we can keep the central a/c at a comfortable level for him and not freeze him out.

    It’s pretty good at keeping cool but only issue is that it drains SO MUCH WATER. I put the hose in a gallon bottle and it feels up almost every hour to hour and a half.

    Great unit! Was perfect when our AC went out recently. Needed to cool off the baby room and worked like a charm. Easy install and adaptive to different window opening. Ideal for small rooms.

    Of all portable ones I have, it’s not the loudest. You’re not going to find true quiet, but this is one of the better. Auto Swinging door helps to circulate air. Really cools down the room quickly. Idea for a room, not a whole floor. Really happy with now the window insert is constructed.

    A bit more expensive that window unit, but worth the spend. It does its job just fine. Remote is handy. More importantly, I do not have to worry about the unit falling from the window. It is easy to put away at the end of the season.

    We bought this when our house AC was out. We were doing okay while the nights were low and the daytime temps were below 90. When the temps went up to 100 we needed to get some more help. This unit was on sale and available for pick up at our local store. Best Buy people were very helpful and courteous. We used it for about two weeks until our AC installers came. We knew it wouldn't cool the space we installed it in way down, but it helped keep the space comfortable in the daytime. It was quiet, and efficient and actually kept a space larger than 250 square feet quite comfortable for the time we were without whole-house AC.
