I've only had the unit connected about three weeks but it cools my 19x15 bedroom with slightly vaunted ceilings pretty well. I'm a Texas resident so waiting for the true test in the hot months of July and August......

Such a life saver on my electric bill. This thing cranks out some serious cold air and I couldn’t be happier. It took long enough to find one and tons of research to find this one. I highly recommend!

I bought this to cool my great room. The winter price was quite a bargain. Packaging is excellent and easy to remove. Machine is on coasters, so easy to move once out of packaging. Easy to set up, I have tested all functions and they work. I Look forward to a cooler summer.

Great for those w/o central AC & doesn’t want a window unit. This was used to replace a portable AC from several years ago that didn’t do much. The upgrade is fantastic! Just keep in mind that although this isn’t as powerful as a window unit, it’s likely one of the best performing portable units out there.

This ac cools off the house enough so you're not sweating. It does what it needs to do. The bes ac's are window air conditioners because they really freeze the house just how i like it.

This unit was a replacement for an $800 Friedrich same size that only lasted about 16 months. I was informed that 4 months out of warranty equals no available support and no repair options. This new unit works well and I added the four year geek squad protection.

I love the dial hose system! It cools down my hosue quickly! I’d buy a better seal though. Other than that I love it!

We were looking at all the reviews on the site and the ones on Amazon. This one was highly ranked. It has remote control and it cools the room very well for our master bedroom (250 sq) we have it set up thru our sliding door patio and had to make our own extension to block the rest of the door since the extender it came with wasn't long enough. But we highly recommend this unit!

makes a huge difference throughout our 1500 sq ft condo, even though we really only got it for the living room. had to avoid a window unit due to new WFH accomodations and it does not disappoint. *very* grateful for the wheels as it is a beast of a machine in terms of weight.

The unit works well and is well designed. It cooled my master bedroom extremely well over the most recent heat wave. Unlike other units, the exhaust hoses extend far enough to install in most locations and it is well constructed. The hoses are sealed well and are securely attached to the unit and the window adapter.

We moved to WA this past year and the houses here do not have AC I have 2 of these one down stairs and one in the bedroom. The one in living room struggles on days in the 90s but it is cooling a larger space then what it clams. The one in the bedroom works wonders and keeps it cold all night.

The AC runs great. A little louder than of like but they ALL do so I can't really complain about that. The fan is so good that it turns our ceiling fan up on the vaulted ceiling LOL.
All on all a good product.

Very easy setup and works well for a 400 square foot room with high ceilings. Makes noise but it is steady so the white noise is not bothersome.
