I got it delivered on a day my room was 92 degrees. No lie, within twenty minutes it was 75 degrees. I love having this machine. It's heavy duty. It's a pleasant addition to my living area. It would be great for a studio or if you sublet a room. Even for just a room to room hookup. You need the exhaust hose though so mutiple hoses or window installations are recommended for that. Great machine, so far SO GOOD!

It keeps my master bedroom cool! My ac unit for the house can’t keep up with this Texas heat but luckily this window unit can. I’m also glad it fits my sliding window unlike traditional units.

Beware of BB Damaged Open-Box Exchanges/Returns
|

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I followed the directions provided by multiple agents to facilitate an exchange of an open-box air conditioner that was damaged and leaking.
I brought the unit to a store as instructed. The objective was to facilitate an exchange of the damaged open-box unit by returning it to a store (despite it having been shipped to me). I was told by agents (see chat screenshot) that the store could then assist by ordering another open-box unit - with a price match for what I originally paid for the damaged unit - for me. And that unit would be shipped to my residence if the store didn't have one in stock.
Essentially, the agents either provided incorrect guidance and or simply lied out of convenience/to appease me.
The BB storage manager - where I returned the unit (West LA on 8/28/28) - said they couldn't facilitate an online order of another open-box unit. He said to call customer service and request they facilitate the order with a price match. He said they could do that.
Well, I called customer service again and was bounced around to different agents; having to explain my issue over and over. And ultimately - from what a sales agent told me (8/28/25) - Best Buy (her manager) did not want to honor and facilitate an exchange. Which I presumably attribute to the current open-box online pricing fro the same unit is now higher than the price I originally. How upstanding of Best Buy.
What a waste of hours of time and effort as well as money. I will do my "best" to avoid "buy"ing from Best Buy again.
