    I was looking forward to setting up this portable air conditioner and beginning to put it to use, to be honest - I have another portable ac installed into another room in my home. It is an LG and looks almost identical, although was somewhat more expensive and covered a smaller square footage. After seeing such great reviews on this, and having faith in the Best Buy brand and customer experience they’ve provided me with in the past, I thought it would do just as great of a job as my other LG unit, if not better. I was also very pleased with the price it was set at. The heat is coming in CA and needed it in my home office. Needless to say, after setting the whole thing up, and using it for the past week, I am less than impressed. I have used several other window ac units in my past experience and in previous apartments I’ve lived in - never once have I had them turn out this way. The coolant in this is extremely harsh and has been burning my lungs - again, I’ve never experienced this before with a portable ac. The air it blows also does not cool the room. It is only cold when you stand directly in front of it, or when it blows directly on you. And the room I’m using it in is only 200 sq feet, so it should be working completely fine (given the description of the product). Definitely a bummer considering it’s not overly healthy to have coolant chilled air blowing directly on your face for several hours a day, day after day. I’m really bummed because I was looking forward to this working great for the summer and now am uncertain of what to do. Does anyone have recommendations on other makers that have served them well? The LG unit is too expensive for me to purchase another of the same kind. I was hoping to make this one work, but even in only 80 degree weather, it barely seems to be serving it’s purpose. I’m not sure where all these 4 and 5 star reviews are surfacing from!

    Great for cooling smaller bedrooms at temps above 80 degrees. I like the sleek design and smaller size. Not as powerful as other similarly priced AC units (cooling impact was diminished at 90+ temps) and cleaning/emptying the water is cumbersome but not any more than other portable AC units.

    Works great! It has a lot of power and cycles the cold air so it doesn't overwork. It is pretty quiet too.

    Hard time with this rating. I have a room that is about 200 sq ft and I expected it to cool it down at night easily. Takes a while to cool and also it is very loud. The compressor kicking on and off wakes me up.

    Do not trust the reviews you see online. I purchased this product and it was working okay and after a few weeks it started to emit a very foul egg, sulfur like smell. I also noticed it was making me very dizzy. I did some research and it can possibly be a refrigerant leak. Whether it is or not I know for a fact the smell coming from it is awful and I am not the only one complaining about this. I have read other reviews on this exact topic. Best Buy will not let me return the faulty product which is crazy because it is not within the 15 day return period. But what about products that become faulty after 15 days? I do not understand why their policy is so bad for a product that is extremely faulty. Do not waste your money.
