Works great, super easy to set up. Love the auto features and the run reminders so if you forget to turn it off, it will give you an alert.

I wanted it to be more cold.

Been using it for a while and expected so much more. Could be colder. Also, a bit loud. I am disappointed.

Happy plants, happy home.

Bought this for my greenhouse. I live in Florida and this season is hot and humid. Put this on and let it run for 8 to 10 hours a day and it works exactly as I want it. Without it the temperature runs over 100 degrees, with this unit on it keeps it down in the high 80s and it generates clean water for my plants. The hose is the tricky part. I used duck tape to seal up the connections and no loss of heat. Keeping my plants alive in Florida.

No actual filter/ condensation/ internal damage

Out of the box inspection I noticed that this specific model has that metal screen that's integrated to the door latches which is a big flaw due to the screen holes being too big of a gap and will not catch any dust, so there is no real filter placed inside or any aftermarket or factory replacements. I tried Jerry rigging a filter for the top, the same style mesh used in other ac units but it started to suffocate the unit and it got warm so I kept it the way it is. For the bottom I used a different type of filter to keep dust/hair/debris out and just duck taped it on and left the top open for enough airflow (I did this with my previous unit and lasted 3yrs with no issues), it minimized cleaning maintenance so I didn't have to keep opening it up and pulling out wads of dust and hair from inside. Opening the bottom compartment there was internal damage which I fixed with a few automotive tricks. It runs good so far, but only 3hrs into the run time and it drained almost 2gal of water. I use a 5gal water jug from Walmart and opened a hole at the top to drain the unit while it's running and it makes it a lot easier for dumping the water when it gets too full. Overall it shows decent potential and hopefully it lasts as long as our previous one that came from Sam's Club as well. Note that humidity will determine the condensation drainage from the unit, Hawaii is on and off so my previous unit would sometimes drain 8-12oz running 8hrs straight, but some days like now it'll almost fill the bucket within half the time. Be very cautious and watch your unit regularly to avoid overflowing. Or as another review suggested, lift the unit further off the ground if possible and strain the water into a bigger bucket if you don't think you'll be watching it regularly especially overnight when you're sleeping. I hope this review helps.
