I love this AC. I purchased this AC to help cool my bedroom with high ceilings during the summer months. The goal was to use this unit as a supplement to the central unit and at night and not need to use the central until all the time. The unit does a great job of cooling the bedroom and bathroom with no problem.
The noise level is to be expected. I wish i would have purchased the larger BTU, but i am happy with this unit.

I purchased this for my bedroom it was really easy to set up and is probably one of the best air conditioners I’ve ever had. My bedroom is about 220 sq feet, it cools it off in no time. If you are in need for an air conditioner then this is the one to get. Comes with a warranty but can purchase extended if you would want.

Happy with this AC. Its portable and works fine. Have it set up in my living room, and while the temperature doesn't get super chilly with it, it makes it really comfortable. Highly recommend it.

This is nice and cold, a lifesaver to have in this heat, if you can't afford refrigerated air get this, it's the next best thing. I love all the functions and remote control..it's nice and cold, cold, cold! I use it in my bedroom. Easy set up, my window was about 60" in tall sliding window, i bought extra foam strips, one thing i do recommend is the panels that connect, it comes with a few plastic pegs to lock them in place for longer lengths, this was not very very supportive. I had to improvise and stick brad fastners that i luckily happened to have in the holes for more support because it was very wobbly, i don't think that part was very well thought out, i fun if they made the panels with sliding lock pins that would be better, other than that, the ac itself is great, and i would definitely recommend it.

For every summer there is heat my AC doesnt cool the whole house decided to try these portable ones as recommended by a family member and WOW!! I love it!! The room is much cooler gets so cold inside the rooms. Works a lot better than the AC in the home and my electricity bill has gone down so much. I love how its so easy to install and how col the room gets. You can put it to the temperature you feel comfortable you do not eveb have to get up you can use a timer and/or a remote to change it.

Mixed Feelings

I wound up purchasing this air conditioner based on the reviews which were primarily positive. And it does work, I can’t deny that. It does what it’s supposed to do and helps cool things down downstairs. That said, most reviews that I’d read let me to believe that it wouldn’t need drained more than once or twice a day. That’s 100% not the case for ours at all. We have to drain this unit every 15-20 minutes. And if it isn’t drained quickly enough, it stops blowing cold air and goes into fan mode. Which means that one of us is constantly stopping everything that we’re doing to drain the air conditioner which is both extremely inconvenient and very annoying. But it’s either that or we have no AC. I’m not sure if it’s an issue with our unit or if there’s something we’re doing wrong on our end, but either way, it’s given me mixed feelings about this particular portable AC. Overall, it does what I needed it to do, but with a pretty frustrating caveat.

There are 2 drain outlets at the back of the units, customer could connect the drain hose with one of the drain outlets, and then the water will flow out from the drain hose. (Refer to user manual page 10 and page 25).

This is a good product and it works well in the bedroom. It didn't work well in the dining room but that was because the open space was larger than the 250 sq. ft. My husband loves this product. I think he considering getting a larger one for the front of the house.

Works great for us. Meets my expectations for cooling the room. We set it for 75 degrees and the room is comfortable, with the intermittent blasts of cool air. Setting it up was straight forward. We’ve used it many days this month and haven’t yet needed to empty the tray where water collects, so we’ll see how it goes. As well, I haven’t seen the effect on our energy usage, but experience thus far is worth a 5 star rating.

This thing is a lifesaver! I use it in a bedroom that gets pummeled by northern and western light in Sacramento. It’s 110° today and my central AC wouldn’t be able to keep this bedroom cool without help. With this thing, I can keep the temperature pretty much whatever I want no matter how it is outside. What a BEAUTIFUL thing. The picture was taken on 4th of July 2024 after a year of ownership. It was a 110 degree day, but I took the photo when it was closer to 95 outside at about 10 PM. It blows literally freezing air *tears of joy*
