  • Key Specs
    • Recommended Room Size: 250 square feet (The recommended area size in which the product is designed to operate and produce optimal results, such as the desired heating or cooling. Generally, running a unit too big or too small for the space will result in ineffective operation and wasted energy.)
    • DOE SACC Cooling Power: 4000 british thermal units (The Seasonally Adjusted Cooling Capacity (SACC), implemented by the Department of Energy (DOE) after 2017, is a rating of a portable AC unit's cooling power. This rating is based on revised testing that more accurately measures a portable unit's performance, taking into account that these units do not vent heat in the same way as wall or window units and therefore were not cooling as effectively as the previous BTU ratings indicated (based on the ASHRAE-128 standard prior to 2017). Generally, the new cooling power ratings are lower than previous BTU ratings and can more reasonably be compared to the cooling capacities of other types of AC units.)
    • ASHRAE Cooling Power: 8000 british thermal units (The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) rates the cooling power, or capacity, of portable AC units based on their effectiveness in cooling a single room as intended. Prior to 2017, this was the accepted standard used for comparison with other types of AC units. However, it did not accurately reflect the cooling power as it did not account for the heat emitted from the unit that would circulate back into the space. The Department of Energy (DOE) Seasonally Adjusted Cooling Capacity (SACC) standard is now used to determine appropriate BTU ratings of portable AC units.)
    • Number of Cool Settings: 3
    • Airflow Rate: 292.5 cubic feet per minute
    • Remote Control: true
    • Integrated Heater: false
    • Sleep Mode: false (Enabling this mode sets the unit to first reach the desired temperature, then gradually increase the temperature over a period of time until it reaches a new set temperature, typically several degrees higher than the initial cool setting. This mode helps save energy while keeping the room comfortable.)
    • Timer: true
    • Auto Shut-Off: true (Feature automatically turns off the product.)
    • Window Venting Kit: true (Indicates whether supplies for venting the unit through a window are included.)
    • Wireless Connectivity: None (The manner in which a device sends data to another device over a short distance without the use of wires or cables.)
    • Air Conditioner Type: Portable
    • Hose Configuration: Single (Generally, dual hose configurations are more efficient and better suited for cooling larger areas. Single hose configurations typically consume less energy and are best for cooling smaller spaces.)

Q: does this item come with the adjustable piece that fits into the window?

A: No, this does not have a piece that fits into the window.

Q: Does this unit need to be vented out of a window?

A: No, the A/C unit does not need to be vented outside a window.

Q: What power is required to operate the portable A/C? Is this unit noisy or have a quiet mode? How does the unit dispose of the warm air it creates?

A: This unit has a 115 V power rating and the sound rating (indoor) is 56 dBA. You also receive a window kit for the exhaust hose with this portable air conditioner.

Q: Does this unit truly have a built in heater too?

A: Hahaha, if you don't point the vent outdoors with the A/C on, it will pump plenty of hot air in the room.

Q: Can I put this in a room that has no window to the outside? Does it have a bucket to drain the water in or a way to operate without access to the outdoors?

A: You would need a way to exhaust the hot air. So I would say yes you need a window or a hole in the wall

Q: Can I use this with a window that slides horizontally?

A: Yes the exhaust hose will fit on the window that’s either horizontally or vertically

Q: With this unit do I have to use the hose that come with this. Can i just plug in wall and it will work that way.

A: You need to vent the hot air outside with the exhaust hose. That's how an air conditioner works.
