My wife and I bought two of these for our small farm house since we don't have central heating or air. I'm a big guy and I hate being hot, so I was worried about staying cool. These fans blow ICE cold and keep our bedroom at a comfortable 64 degrees. We live in a dry heat area in Northern California and haven't had any issues. During the day, we use one in the living room and one in the back of the house to keep it cool. We also use fans to help circulate the air. Just make sure to keep the filters clean.

I bought this unit after enduring two record-setting hot summers in the Pacific Northwest. Even though we don't get as hot as other parts of the country, 90F can still be brutal if you're not used to it. The 14,000 BTU model I purchased is working great in my 2 bedroom apartment, keeping me comfortable with the thermostat set to 76F. It is a bit noisy, but I've gotten used to it and it's better than suffering through extreme heat. It was also easy to install. Only time will tell if it lasts, but for now I'm happy with my investment.

I recently purchased a portable air conditioner just in time for two hot days. Upstairs is typically hotter than downstairs, and my son's room is especially warm, with a 3-4 degree difference. Our upstairs AC unit is currently not working, so it's very hot up there.

I am really impressed with this unit. Yesterday, the outside temperature reached 88 degrees, but my son's room stayed at 76 with the help of the portable air conditioner. Today, it's 89/90 degrees outside, and I have set the temperature down to 75. The portable air conditioner is also helping to cool down the hallway area as I leave my son's bedroom door open to let some of the cold air out into the hallway.

I have read complaints about how loud it is, but honestly, it's not any louder than your average portable fan, and it just provides a good white-noise. It doesn't bother us at all.

I hope that this continues to work well in the next several summers.

We purchased this air conditioning unit when a heat wave was forecasted for our usually mild area. It really helped us survive. Our house has vaulted ceilings, but it continuously pumped out cold air, making at least one room breathable.

We learned that the filter can get noisy when it needs cleaning, so it's important to clean it regularly. We also discovered that our living room outlet caused the breaker to flip, so we had to run the plug outside to a different outlet on its own breaker. The exhaust needs the door to be open, so it wasn't a major issue.

The only downside is that we wish we could buy window panels separately. The unit came with extensions for a tall window, but we're using a sliding glass door. Another panel would have reached the top of our door, but we don't want to buy an entire kit for just one panel. So we're using cardboard, but it's not ideal. This issue doesn't affect the AC's performance, but it's frustrating to have a gap at the top.

The item arrived earlier than expected and came with everything needed for installation. The only negatives I can find are that the remote didn't come with batteries, the air cannot be aimed up/down, and I'm unsure if it can cool a 700 Sq Ft room. However, it does keep my bedroom cool and I am satisfied with the product overall.

This unit has made a big difference in my home. Even in 100-degree weather, my swamp cooler on the roof couldn't keep the house below 80 degrees. Now, with just one of these units, my whole house is comfortable. I only need to use the swamp cooler at night. However, there are a few things I don't like. The exhaust hose falls off easily and the remote control isn't very user-friendly. Also, the air flow adjustment feature is useless. Overall, I'm happy with the unit despite these issues.

My apartment is 800 SF total, with a living room of 500 SF. Despite being rated to cool 1000 square feet, the AC only cools my apartment to 74 degrees no matter the setting. I left it on from 8am when it was 71 degrees, but it didn't cool enough, even with shades drawn. I have a double coated dog and needed an AC for hot and humid days. It does okay, but for $400+, I expected it to cool better. It does make my apartment more comfortable during heat waves, but I'm disappointed it doesn't cool as much as expected for its size.

I purchased this air conditioner for my apartment because it only had central heating and no cooling. I placed it in my bedroom, connected to a window near the doorway.

The air conditioner does a great job of keeping the room cold. During the day, I leave the bedroom door open, and it helps bring the apartment temperature down from the 80s to the mid 70s. It struggles to cool the entire apartment, but I understand the limitations of window units. When I get hot while working in the kitchen, I stand in front of it and the cool air it blasts out is very effective. The tube out the window gets warm. The ventilation in my apartment was so poor that I had to keep the windows open even when it was 79 degrees F outside, resulting in an indoor temperature of 85 F. Going from that to the mid to low 70s, and consistently 71F in the bedroom when the door is closed, is much better performance than I expected for the price.

It's easy to drain the water tank when it's full, and the machine is low maintenance. It does make noise, but it's quieter than a box fan and doesn't have any annoying squeaks.

I'm glad I bought this unit instead of a slightly cheaper window unit that would drip water on the sidewalk.
