I bought this system last summer to keep an 400 sq ft outbuilding cool enough to keep our chest freezer and beer brewing / wine storage happy. The building has casement windows, which make a standard window AC unusable. Setting up the exhaust was pretty straightforward, using the supplied window slider kit, attached at the bottom of a 1/2" piece of blueboard which replaces the screen on the casement window. When the compressor runs, the air is cold and easily cools the room. I have to leave a second window cracked open to provide intake air for the system to exhaust. Unlike some other reviewers, I have had no issues with the connecting and disconnecting the exhaust system. My confusion is around the drain. I don't understand why there are two separate drains, and the manual doesn't do a good job explaining it. Although the manual says the upper drain is for the Dry mode, water seems to come out of it during the Cool cycle as well. The drain tube must slope downward - any water held in the tube seems to prevent the compressor from running. The thermostat seems a bit off - after turning on the system, the compressor will start up at the target temperature, but after running awhile the room temperature will creep up above the target by several degrees and I have to decrease the temperature setting below the target temperature in order for the compressor to start.

Frigidaire 9,00-BTU Portable Air Conditioner FRA093PT1 fit the needs of the situation we needed it to fill. The unit is great at removing the moisture from the room and making the environment comfortable. Having a temperature control makes it easier to adjust the rooms comfort level for an individual. The compressor is nosier then window mounted units but the noise level is acceptable and does not become a problem while on the phone or sleeping...when keeping the unit on the opposite side of room. Setting up the window insert vent for the compressor heat tube is easy but found duct tape helped to make window seal. One drawback was the heat vent tube install setup. It was difficult to attach the vent hose to the unit but duct tape solves the problem. The drainage of condensation was an issue because we could not drain through the window. To over come the problem, we ran an extended plastic tubing to our shower...you could also run the plastic tubing to a bucket. Remember on humid days the buckets fills quickly as the unit does remove moisture from the air exceptionally well...great as de-humidifier. Evaluate your situation and this portable unit may be the right fit...it was for me.

I read a lot of reviews on different portable air conditioners and many of them were not good. I decided to take the advice of one comment that said spend a little more money and buy a brand name. I'm so glad I did. The drain is in a easy place to get to unlike several other brands that are on the bottom, it cools the room very well. The only thing I don't like (and this seems to be a common complaint in other brands too,) and that is they don't make the connector very sturdy, if you want to move it around a few feet you almost have to have someone else hold the end of the connector so it doesn't pop out. I would recommend this air conditioner over a non-brand name.

This air conditioner works well in small rooms and is quiet compared to other portable air conditioners. Was not too happy with the window kit, very hard to put together. However this was the only problem I encountered. I would recommend this air conditioner for anyone looking to cool off a small room.

A little pricey, large in size. All my windows are crank outs so a window air conditioner didn't work. This cooled the house very well & in a short time. I would recommend to anyone.

Works good for small room...window installation kit is terrible...if room is very hot...does not do cool very well. Discharges a lot of water. Have to keep a large container handy .

Nightmare! The unit did not cool. I had to go through the task of returning such a large item! The only saving grace is Walmart was decent about the return...

We just installed this unit on 7-4-15 and are quite happy with the cooling but have a problem with the noise. There was a loose screw in the bottom of the box when we removed the packing material. The fan runs quietly, but when the cooling turn on something is vibrating very load (probably needs the screw) but I can't find a repair place to check it out or fix it for me. The noise is so loud we can't hear the TV without turning up the sound when the cooling cycle comes on.

Weve been using this on a third floor bedroom during the hottest summer in history. It works very well however it is a little loud and cumbersome. Because the vent must be placed in a window and the tube is relatively short, it is in an awkward spot. Overall it was a great value.
