Relatively quiet operation. The dehumidifier option has been a game changer this summer! We live in Kentucky and our house was staying at around 60-70% humidity INSIDE. This unit has bright that number down drastically and has lowered our energy bill because the dying central air unit doesn't have to work as hard.

Happy wife happy life!

Exactly what I was looking for! Easy set up and working perfectly in the room it was purchased for. My situation having Casement Windows was easily solved by MARTINSON MANUFACTURING with a plexiglass insert to vent the unit. I recommend both this A/C and the insert if you don’t have standard windows.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this little AC works great. good for my small apartment. it does put out a LOT of water, you will have to empty it at least daily, sometimes multiple times a day depending on how long you run it. but it does the job and keeps my room nice %26 cool. I like that it has wheels so it's easy to move around

Helping keep me cool!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very easy to install the hose to the window. No need to remove your screen. Bought this to help out until my new unit is installed. It keeps my bedroom very cold if needed. Thermostat is good and the different settings work well.

Best portable air conditioner for large bedroom!!

This air conditioner was for a large bedroom, my husband had it out of the box and installed it in the one window in the room. He had it up and running in less than 15 minutes. Everything needed was inside the box with easy to follow instructions and it really cooled the room temperature down super fast! If we decide to buy another unit for downstairs home office, we definitely would purchase the same unit.

So far so good! Definitely puts out some air!

So far so good. A little noisy but definitely keeps the heat down. I'm unsure about having to dispose of a water tank but haven't had to do that yet. I'm assuming it would let me know. That is one thing I would find annoying but haven't ran into that issue yet. Otherwise it was easy to set up and plug in.

Excellent portable A/C unit

We purchased this portable A/C unit when our aging HVAC system bit the dust during hottest 2+ weeks in July. I took over 2 weeks to get the new HVAC system ordered and installed. During which this portable A/C unit kept our living room at a comfortable low 70 temp/low humidity, even though the living room is open on one end (no wall). This made it possible to survive comfortably, even sleeping in the living room, if needed.

The best product

Perfect to use if your air conditioning is broken. Perfect to use by itself. Perfect to use a a supplement to AC in a room when the temps are 100+ . It cools a 12 x12 room fast to 68 -70 degrees with the door shut within 20 min. If the door is left open 9 -10 inches, it cooled the room, not to the set temperature, but helped to cool the dinning room.living room and hallway. It is perfect for 1-2 rooms. My understanding (dont get upset if i am wrong) media is a chinese company that makes some whirlpool products and some whirlpool parts. There is the background for the quality and function of this product.

Portable A/C better than nothing

So far so good. Takes a bit to cool down a larger bedroom but it works. Hopefully it will last a few summers. I purchased this product beginning of July 2026. Oops there goes the electric bill.

Leaks water

list of issues with product. the biggest problem is it leaks water and i can't find exactly where it's coming from. The remote barely works and the exhaust tube has major air leaks so this thing blows cool but also hot at the same time.
