Review: It works great! - I purchased this machine in April (3 months ago) and it's such a lovely addition to my life. I wanted it to cool a room that's about 15x15 in HUMID Florida. I run several computers, lights, and other heat generating objects for podcasting in this room. It's working like a dream and the sound doesn't intrude with my recordings (using a dynamic microphone of course). I read other reviews here that the dehumidifier doesn't work well in Florida. I've actually never tried to use just the dehumidifier option yet (instructions say to attach the hose included and run the water off when running that option). I haven't had a reason too since its so d*mn hot already and the AC dehumidifies. I'll update again in the fall when the temperature drops. Also, the guide says that you'll only need to empty the water at the end of the season. At first, I didn't believe that and kept checking the water level. It still hasn't gotten to the point where I need to empty it. I'll update at the end of the Summer or when the Full Tank indicator lights up. I'm also making a point to clean the filter at the start of each month-easy. The best advice I can give is to purchase this AC (or any window/portable AC) during the winter. I've been tracking several of them over the course of 3 years and during the coldest months the price is $200. I sadly missed the price by a week when it increased in early April to $255. Now it's July and the price is apparently around $350. If you're on a budget and need something today, research building a "swamp cooler" and hold off until winter and get an amazing deal on a great product. This is probably the best product I've purchased on desertcart. Be careful when you remove it from the box after it arrives. I did make sure to let it sit upright for 24 hours but when I removed the box I did end up breaking the bottom water drain plug. I was able to reattach using gorilla glue. luckily I knew to do that. I'd suggest to un-box slowly. Cut away the the box piece by piece. I think I was afraid I'd need to keep the packaging intact as much as possible in case I had to ship it back. UPDATE: 3 YEARS, 3 MONTHS LATER (8/2022): Still working strong. I've never had to empty it but I also never use the dehumidifier. I've never had a reason to empty. I've run it constantly for months on end too, even during Summer months in Florida. It cools a room 15'x15 very well and even beyond down a hallway. Also, as I wrote before, the back knob that you attach the dehumidifier hose broke when I attempted to lift it out of the box and foam. I replaced it with Gorilla Glue but I've never attempted to use that feature because it worried me that I would break something else if I didn't reattach it correctly. Someone asked me about keeping it from stopping and starting in order to sleep better. That can be disruptive if you're not using another source of white noise to keep you asleep. I can't sleep anywhere unless I run some rainstorm sounds. I have found that turning the temp as low as I can, and turning up the speed to high and turning on the (room) "max" button will tend to keep the sound up at least some high hum constant and that helps. I do need to keep a small notebook on top of it to drown out the blue lights, but recently, I've also started using an eye mask to sleep with (you should totally try one if you have trouble sleeping). It's also easy to clean, maybe too easy. I clean the filter about every 3-5 months but I'm sure I should do it monthly. If this machine broke tomorrow (probably because I'm bad at remembering to clean the filter), I'd go back here and try to replace with the exact model. Also, the beeping noise when you adjust it isn't too loud but I wish it wasn't there at all. To avoid each beep, I aim the remote in another direction and change the temperature, speed, then aim it back at the unit and press one more degree (so I only have to hear one of those beeps). Problem solved. At some point, I'll come back and update this again with an update on the difference in my electric bill. I haven't noticed a huge difference yet. **7 Year Update*** Still going strong! I also rarely clean it or the filter. I just realized that it’s now November 2025 and while I used it every day, I’ve forgotten to clean the filter since April! Yikes.
Review: I might sleep this summer! - Works perfectly, fairly easy to install even in irregular windows, cools off the room very fast. I would knock off a star for the noise, but it's an affordable machine that does exactly what I want and has a remote so I can be cool *and* lazy. Can't get too picky about these things.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Powerful Keeps Bedroom Cool at Night
*by C***S on August 17, 2024*

I really want to give this 4.5 stars but there is no option for half stars. I live in South Florida where temperatures in the summer can get to 96+ and often stay in the high 80's at night. My home is about 2,700 sq ft and my master bedroom is the furthest room from the A/C unit and thermostat. Even with the A/C set to 72 at night our master bedroom stays at a warm 78-79 degrees. This. year I decided to remedy that with a portable A/C. My master bedroom is approx 250 sq ft not counting the bathroom and small vanity area. I have been using this portable A/C for 3 weeks. I wanted to give it some time before I wrote my review. I also wanted to note that I have never had a portable A/C unit before so I do not have anything to compare this to. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase. The price point was very good for the benefit I am receiving as these can get pretty pricey. Installation: It was pretty easy to install. I did have to cut the window piece to fit the window. My window is 24 inches wide. The reason it has to be cut is due to it being longer than 20 inches but not longer than 30 inches. There is one piece with the hole for the vent, and then a second and third piece you can slide back and forth to make it longer to fit your window. However, I only needed an additional 4 inches so the sliding piece covered half of the hole. Therefore, I had to cut some length off of the second piece so that it wouldn't cover the hole. It was very easy to cut with just a box cutter to create the line and then I was able to snap it in two. I did use the foam pieces provided with the unit for insulation but based on other reviews I plan to replace it with a more heavy-duty weathering strip. I didn't want to spend the money until I knew I was going to keep the A/C unit. Cooling: I won't go into the different features I use the "auto" feature only which is to have the A/C unit speed up or down, turn on or off to keep the room at the desired temperature. It took only a couple of hours for this portable A/C unit to cool my room from 79 to 75, I was very impressed. I keep the unit on 24/7. I keep it at a temp of 76 during the day and I turn it to 73 when I come home in the evening so it is nice and cool when we go to bed. There is no doubt when it comes to cooling it cools the room, there is definitely a noticeable difference in our room now. Noise: As I stated I have nothing to compare this to but I will admit it is not silent. That said no A/C unit is silent. It did take us some time to get used to the noise as it does kick on and off or speed up and down in the middle of the night to keep the temperature at 73. I tried the sleep mode which seemed to be a more consistent noise but woke up that morning and my room was bordering on 77 degrees. If there is a portable A/C unit that is whisper quiet I would love to know, I can only assume it would cost a fortune. Cleaning: It says to clean the filters every week. I did not realize this but on week three I took out the filters and they were not dirty at all. I also checked to see if there was any water to drain and there was nothing. Maintenance so far has been super easy. It's a Keeper: Based on the fact that over time we have been able to get used to the noise the benefits of a cool room at night are well worth it! Pros: **Works quick and fast to cool room **Can say it easily cools a 250 sq ft room **Easy to use **Remote included to use from afar if needed **Easy to clean filter and drain options Cons: **It is a little noisy but not more than any other A/C I assume **No real scheduler to turn the unit on and off at specific times There is a "timer" on the remote control but I am looking for something I can set to say at 7:00 am turn the temp to xx and at 6:00 pm turn it to xx. I would LOVE to see an app of some sort incorporated with this so if you were away on vacation and forgot to turn it off you could do so. UPDATE: 03/28/25 I wanted to come back and update my review after using it for 8 months. I am still happy with the A/C for now but here in South Florida we are in the cooler months so I have not had to run it much. I am still amazed at how fast it can cool down my room. Usually, around 6-7 p,m I will turn it on to a temp of 70 (as it is 78 in the room). When we are ready to go to bed at 10:30 it is 71 degrees in the room. Due to the "not hot nights" right no,w I turn it off when we go to bed, usually by morning it is about 74 in the room. This is much better than 78 all night. However, as the nights get hotter we will have to turn the A/C back on during the evening, I am actually not looking forward to it as it is louder than we would like. I don't know if other A/C's are quieter but I do wish we could find something that is quieter. Update: 11/17/25: I wanted to update my review again to say that the A/C unit is still going strong, and this was an excellent purchase for us. We used it over the summer months, and it made sleeping a lot more comfortable. Are room is usually around 80 degrees. I would turn it on at 6 pm, and by the time we would go to bed, it would be around 73-74. It stayed at the correct temperature all night. I then turn it off during the day when we are at work and repeat this process every day. It has been a lifesaver.
