- Key Specs
- Recommended Room Size: 550 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.)
- BTU Cooling Rating: 12000 british thermal units (The amount of BTUs (British Thermal Units) per hour the unit uses to cool the air, also known as cooling capacity. For best results, the capacity of the unit should be based on the size of the area it is intended to cool. For example, a 5,000 BTU capacity works optimally for a 150 square foot room. In general, an oversized unit will not effectively remove humidity, and an undersized unit will not cool the space efficiently.)
- Number of Cool Settings: 3
- Number of Fan Speeds: 3
- Airflow Rate: 218 cubic feet per minute
- Remote Control: true
- Integrated Heater: false
- Sleep Mode: true (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.)
- Energy Efficiency Ratio: 13.6 (The ratio of output BTUs (British Thermal Units) to input electrical energy (watts) at a given operating point. Generally, the higher the number, the more efficient the unit. Though higher efficiency units are typically more expensive upfront, they may offset the price in energy costs over time.)
- Combined Energy Efficiency Ratio (CEER): 13.5 (The standard used to measure energy efficiency in window and room air conditioners by the Department of Energy (DOE) as of June of 2014. CEER measures the ratio of output BTUs (British Thermal Units) to input electrical energy (watts) in standby mode and while the unit is operating. Generally, the higher the number, the more efficient the unit. Though higher efficiency units are typically more expensive upfront, they may offset the price in energy costs over time.)
- App Compatible: true (The product can be connected to a program or software application on a mobile device, which then receives collected data from the product.)

THE Best and Quietest we've ever owned.
Not only is this the quietest air conditioner we have ever owned over the past 30 years, but it also can cool an area much larger than its rated capacity. Well over 60% more. Plus, it does it evenly, with no hot spots from corner to corner. This 12K BTU, along with one 8K BTU cools our 1100SF one level home very well and very efficently.

Great purchase
I bought this AC in early July. The AC is energy efficient, as it used most 9-10 kwh/day during the heatwave, and set at 70F. Another great feature is its low level of noise. It sounds more like a fan, rather than other AC brands. The design is pretty and its easy to install. The downside is a bit pricey but its worth the money. I'm very happy with purchase.

12000 BTU was not enough for my 300sq ft living ro
Aesthetically pleasing, noise level is great, not too loud for a big unit, but it does not cool my entire living room, it only makes it fresh when outside temperature is in the 70 degrees. But so far in 80 and 90 degree days it has not been efficient. I am not sure if the AC unit is not performing well due to the AC sleeve not having a lot of ventilation, or what other reason could be. I would love to return it and get a bigger unit. Maybe a 14k BTU for my 300sq ft living room but I didn’t realize Best Buy only offers a 15 day return period. So overall I cannot say it’s a bad unit but it has not worked for my space
