    It cools the room pretty quickly but it’s a bit loud. Also, think it’s too much power for my room and keeps blowing out the power. Needed something a little less powerful instead of 8,000 should of gotten 6,00 or 7,00 but waited to log for the exchange

    The Portable Air Conditioner met my needs as this summer was one of the hottest and my windows were not a standard type to fit a normal window unit. The only issue i have is the hose should be longer

    This ac unit works really well. It's sufficient to cool one average sized room, but not more. The drain was what surprised me. If you do not have a floor drain in the room, you will need a shallow pan to drain it into.

    We have a larger than 350sq ft area, (living room, dining room, kitchen and extra open space) and this portable AC is doing great! I had to remove window AC's because they werent doing much. But this unit blows cold air and fills in the room area very quickly! The additional bonus of having a timer and remote control is awesome. Its not too noisy either. Delivery was super fast and arrived 2 days earlier.

    We bought this for our bedroom since we both sleep hot. This AC works very well, nice a cool throughout the night! It does get a little bit loud, but no more so than one would expect from an AC.

    Unit is cold! Bought when a/c went out and had to wait days for tech to come out. Easy set-up and wife likes that the remote will measure the temp in any room she's in. It was a great buy.

    Excellent unit, cools rooms down super fast and easy to move between rooms, living room during the day and bedroom at night(just don't use the screws to make it easier to move if you plan on doing that)

    The pros: Very quick and easy to set up. You wont lose your window. The cons: For me this was a deal breaker, its loud. Too loud to have in a bedroom. I tried it for the weekend but ended up returning it. Thanks to best buy for their return policy. Another con is that it will cost more to run over the summer than a standard window unit. That would be ok for me if it wasnt for how loud this unit was. Its basically like having a refrigerator in your bedroon at 10x the noise they make. Overall i would not recommend. The level of noise and cost of operation is not worth the current price tag.

    Very Impressed as My daughter needed a unit for her WI college apartment and her building did not actively support a dedicated window unit. This option is great as it allows her to easily move it between rooms (bedroom & main) based on needs. She has a large ~ 15 x 15 bedroom with 10' ceilings and it cools it great. She loves the remote that acts as a thermostat.

    This air conditioner has been a great investment to combat the hot days in the summer! I have not had any trouble with it and always cools the room down fast. I love that it's not only air conditioner but also a de-humidifier, I use them both! It's a great buy for the money.

    A bit noisy, but it does the job well and is effective in cooling fairly large areas. Not meant to cool an entire home, but maybe very effective in cooling a medium office space.
