    If used in the office, you may be able to stand it. For bedrooms, one may need to find a way to negate the noise.

    Bought this so that my husband could work upstairs in his temporary home office. The windows are old style in that room and slide open. Bought this and it kept him cool in the room all day

    It works, but the compressor is way too loud

    You need to have realistic expectations when using a portable air conditioner, but I still had to return my unit. Yes, they can be loud.. think of a box fan on high. But the compressor is the reason why I returned mine. It was way too loud.. you could hear it on the opposite side of the house. Just a loud buzzing/vibrating noise whenever it was cooling. I opened the bottom filter area and all the screws were tight, so I do not believe something was loose. I tried to deal with the noise, but could hear it over noise cancelling headphones that were playing music. TLDR: Compressor was loud. Not sure if defect or present on all units. Other reviews seem to have similar problem. Returned and bought an LG portable a/c. No more loud compressor.

    This works great for a small room and I have had no issues with it since I purchased it almost a year ago. I will be purchasing another for my living room this summer.

    Excellent portable AC unit. It is being used in a small bedroom where external window air conditioners are not allowed. It is quiet and efficiently cools the room.

    I like the portable air conditioner except that it didn't come with enough window slides to properly put in a sliding door frame. Had to use cardboard.

    I bought this for my husband to use in his shed, but our air went out and we used it in our master bedroom for a week and 1/2 until we could get our unit replaced and it worked so well!

    I bought this for my bedroom because I did not want a window unit hanging out the front of my house. This thing is the worst purchase I have ever made. I have had it less than 24 hours and I can already say that I regret my decision to purchase this unit. This is probably fueled by the lack of sleep from this thing keeping me up all night. It is LOUD. I thought- how much louder can it be than a window unit? The answer is very. It vibrates the floor despite being elevated and on a cushion. I worry my neighbors are going to complain. I couldn't fall asleep. I couldn't stay asleep. I guess its ok because I was cool? So it did its job there. It is NOT EASY TO MOVE. Portable? No way. The window piece it comes with has a million air holes that have to be blocked up. Once it is taped up, weather stripped, etc, it is a PITA to move to another spot in your house. I guess I could get a second window vent but I don't want to spend any more money on useless junk. Incredibly inconvenient. TLDR; Unit is LOUD and NOT very portable. Thumbs down.
