Bought this a week ago and was terribly disappointed. Put it in my very small living room and it did not cool the room. If you stood in front of it you could feel some air. Its advertised to cool 500 sq feet and my living room is no where near that. It was bought to cool the room and it was something my husband would not have to lift and tug.

Got the unit from Sams, hooked it up in a newly enclosed room within the garage, worked fine. Says dont run without a filter located the filter compartment, no filter. There was no filter in the unopened box, is the filter sold separate and if so how stupid is this, needed it tonight, no I have to locate the filter. Add a couple$$$ to the price and send the filter...Makes me want to return the unit...maybe somebody will read this and send me one, Delonghi you read these...

My house has two AC units. During the day we run the living room area and at night we run the bedroom side. Unfortunately, my oldest room is on the living room side and without the AC unit running his room get to 87 degrees at night. It's way too expensive to run two AC units at the same time. I only gave this review 4 stars because the window installation was difficult. I have dual pane windows and the length of the window is larger than standard. The window would not close properly because of the thickness. I had to use the strip seal that comes with the unit and wedge some metal pieces between the window and the bottom of the window attachment for it to be properly sealed without gaps. Other than the installation the unit works great and cools down better than the AC.

Noise level far exceeds expectations as printed on the original box!!! (See photo from packaging.) It is louder than any refrigerator I've ever had. Requires turning up volume on TV to listen. Purchased to cool upstairs bedroom to be able to sleep comfortably in summer. It super-cooled the room, but made so much noise I could not sleep. I have tried to get used to the sound level to be able to sleep with it on, but I have given it enough of a chance to know that I cannot get used to it. Returning it to store. This could be great for a workshop or art studio where noise was not an issue because it really puts out the cold air. Very disappointed because I thought this was going to solve the problem of cooling an upstairs bedroom in a townhouse with only one HVAC for both levels.

Bought this 12,000 but unit to replace a 8,000 older Maytag portable unit. Wanted the quiet feature but was not worth the price. The unit cools, but can't keep the room as cool as the Maytag did. Did not have the leaking problem that many talked about, was delivered directly to my doorstep. Probably would not buy this particular unit again. The size is smaller than the 8000 BTU Maytag, which is a nice feature. The quiet feature is nice, but the machine needs to run on high all the time to keep the room cold.

I rarely write reviews unless something is very good or very bad. This is a horrible unit. If you read the complete description, the Department of Energy rates this ac as 6700 btu. I doubt it's even that powerful. Besides the fact that you have to be right next to it to enjoy the coolness, it sweats water over the whole surface of unit. I ended up putting a pan under it to catch all the extra water even though the drain hose I installed always had a steady drip. Before that it soaked my carpet. I bought a 10,000 btu window unit to replace it and it is a night a day difference. Please save yourself the trouble and don't buy this unit.

We bought two of this particular model. On the first the screen went dead, then the whole thing stopped working. Thankfully, it was under warranty at the time. It was replaced, but it took a while for them to do so. The second one has now stopped working and it is NOT under warranty. So we have to go buy another unit. Now the one that was replaced is starting to not cool as well as it used to. I would NOT recommend this model. We have another of the same brand that has worked for a while, but it's an older model. Just buyer beware.

This portable AC unit cools down the upstairs area in my house quickly and it's not loud at all. The exhaust tube gets warm and water needs to be drained from time to time but other than that it's a lifesaver. I couldn't sleep or function without it as the temperature would be unbearable.

This portable AC unit is perfect for our sun porch! It's approx 450 sq. ft. and this unit cools it down quickly. Its easy to install, it quickly removes the humidity from the air. I'm so happy I made this purchase. I will be recommending this item to everyone!

I bought a unit 2 months ago and it just quit working no power at all, so I took it back and exchanged it for a new one just to get home and the hose connector doesnt fit the back of the unit and a snap piece on the hose reciever of the unit is broken straight out of the box. I do NOT recommend this product.
