    Works very well for our small upstairs space! Is a little noisy if your house is dead quiet but it cools quickly and doesn't need to kick on very much or very long.

    i actually have two of the 300 sq ft Portable Air Conditioners. They both are working properly. They are upstairs room that are very hard to cool. One is 240 sq feet and the room wasn't exceptionally cool but acceptable. The other one cooled better in a smaller room. I gave 5 stars because they working properly and no surprises. Moisture was very little about a half a cup after 6 hours use. They are both self evaporating so I didn't hook up the supplied drain hose permanently.

    Very fine AC unit for my grandson's bedroom. Cools and dehumidifies like a champ. The remote is a plus for convenient temperature adjustment as well as fan speed. Easy to hook up and enjoy.

    After purchasing the BBY cust service rep told me to stand it up for a day prior to turning on to allow the condenser to settle the gas appropriately. So, I did just that. After a day and half of waiting I set up. Ensured the seals on the window were tight and even used additional gorilla brand adhesive tape just to make sure. Turning it on the first night and the room of approximately 150sf smelled like what I would describe rotten egg. This smell eventually lessened, but is always pretty constant when the machine is on in the enclosed room. Mind you I only turn the machine on at night and set the timer for about 3 hours so that I can fall asleep extra cold. The room is an addition to the house and for whatever reason the central A/C seems to cool the main house very well, but not as well for the additional room and bathroom. Needless to say, I've purchased a room air purifier and ionator for about another $200 and it seems to have helped a bit with the smell the a/c was letting off, but it is still pretty persistent. Now, I am not sure if the BBY I bought it from sold me a return, but I would say that it shouldn't smell like that. As for the cooling, the lowest setting is 62F and that's where I have it and on high or else it really won't cool down the room much. Don't expect it to cool down the room much during the day and South Texas heat. I've checked the exhaust hose and everything else have done it according to the manual. Seems like I got somewhat of a dud. It does somewhat work, best at night of course, but not as I expected. I didn't return it because it's a quite the ordeal to put everything back together in its packaging. Looks like running the air purifier and buying more scents/room deodorizers will be part of the strategy in the long run for this unit.

    We live in an old but well-maintained brick house with 3 finished upper-level floors. All the rooms are occupied with 4 teenagers, my wife and I. I also have a home office that doubles as my den. Air conditioning is an issue because until recently we only depended upon a few window units that show their age - ok but overtaxed for the size of the house. We bought 2 of these units and it appears that the benefactors of these units are satisfied. I don't know much about them but we have experienced good results with them.

    We own 2 of these. We bought 1 for my son because the upstairs bedroom he sleeps in at his rental gets hot in the summer. He loves it. We also bought one for our house when our upstairs air conditioning unit went out. Glad we did. These units are easy to install, fairly quiet and keep a normal size bedroom at the temperature we want. Lots of features for a base model also

    Instantly could tell a difference!! Does a great job of eating odor, filtering out dust & pollen. It’s hard to imagine how we made it before!

    It works great. We installed it easily. It is a bit loud but it does cool down our room pretty quickly. I like that it has a remote so we do not have to get up and turn it on or off.

    Works great out of the box 90% of the time, blows really cold air 90% of the time. Most of the time I keep between 70-72 degrees and blows really cold air, but a few times at night, I set for even colder like 67-68 degrees, but didn't see to blow as cold as it did when I had at 70-72 degrees, I'd expect if I set the temp to colder, that the air coming out would be colder. Occasionally didn't happen, so unsure whats going on. Still works good, but confusing sometimes when reconciling the temp settings to how cold the air feels coming out of the unit.

    It worked for what we wanted it to work for. It was perfect for a bedroom space. We do wish the venting hose was longer for another space we planned on having another unit in. It was easy to install and to take out on those days when you wanted fresh air through the windows. Our electric bill this summer was less than in previous years as well. Would definitely recommend this unit if you want to place it in closer proximity to the window it is being vented from.
