Customers are happy with the efficiency of the air conditioner. However, they have different opinions on cooling, quality, noise, size, ease of installation, value, and appearance.
AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers like the efficiency of the air conditioner. They mention that it is quiet, runs very efficiently, and is powerful for their needs. Some say that the compressor coils and the unit draws significantly less power. Overall, most are satisfied with the performance of this product.

"...For my goals, this unit fits. I wanted to cool a bedroom, power efficient, quiet, and portable...." Read more
"...Pretty efficient. Once I get the garage door insulated I suspect I can get the garage cooler, a bit drier and easily into the 75 degree range...." Read more
"...First, it's using about 20% more electricity than promised...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the cooling of the air conditioner. Some mention it has great cooling, easy assembly, and no leaks. It distributes the cold air to a wide area and makes their room ice cold. However, others say that after five years it doesn't cool as well as it once did and it's getting louder. It also allows hot air to flow freely in and out of the room, and causes the wiring and outlets to get hot.
"...Hope this helps!TLDR: Reliable unit so far, great cooling, easy assembly, no leaks, but LOUD!" Read more
"...Having the unit in my room means that it gets VERY cold VERY fast so the remote is a must have in my situation so I don't have to get out of my bed..." Read more
"...It also gets VERY cold and distributes the cold air to a wide area. There's no swinging fan feature, but that's fine for us...." Read more
"...Without direct sun on the garage door, the unit easily cools the space to a dry 78 degrees from a starting temp of about 87 in 1.5h...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the quality of the air conditioner. Some mention it works wonderfully, is reliable, and perfect for its intended application. However, others say that it stops working effectively, is finicky, and the bracket is flimsy. The wheels don't function well on carpeting, and are less efficient than a central or window AC.
"...Hope this helps!TLDR: Reliable unit so far, great cooling, easy assembly, no leaks, but LOUD!" Read more

"...The dual hose works so much better than my other single hose unit. Don't even bother wasting your money on the single hose if you can afford this...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the noise produced by the air conditioner. Some mention that it works reasonably quietly, producing a steady low hum. However, others say that it started to make a lot of noise about an hour after they started it. The sound changes and gets a little bit louder, but they've gotten used to it. Some customers also mention that the air conditioning pump can have this metallic rattle to it, which can be kind of annoying.
"...I'm completely OK with the sound level, and it's not loud enough to interfere with my discord calls, even when I'm sitting right next to it, so all..." Read more
"...When the AC pump is going it can have this metallic rattle to it, which can be kind of annoying...." Read more
"...Noise: This unit is so much more quiet than our last one that I thought the compressor wasn't on...." Read more
"...I wanted to cool a bedroom, power efficient, quiet, and portable. I got everything on that list, but I could be happier with the quiet part...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the size of the air conditioner. Some mention that they were pleasantly surprised at the compact size and how quiet it is. They say the wheels make it easy to move around and store when the time comes. However, others say that it takes up a lot of floor space and the tubes are inefficient.
"...The hoses are not small either. They're not going to be long enough to hide behind things. Curtains and blinds will be displaced by the hoses...." Read more
"...The garden hose fits perfectly for the middle drain, and HOLY CRAP this takes a lot of humidity out of the air!..." Read more
"...At over 60 pounds, it's a lot heavier than a window unit with the same BTU capacity, and even though it's on wheels, the wheels don't function well..." Read more
"...Still, the window kit fit perfectly. Once the window sliders were in place, attaching the intake and exhaust hoses was a bit tricky...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the ease of installation. Some mention that the air conditioner is super easy to install, with clear assembly and start-up instructions. However, others say that the instructions are not easy, with minimal pictures and they fail to note many important details. The set up is a touch more complex than single-hose types, and it's a very frustrating process.
"...TLDR: Reliable unit so far, great cooling, easy assembly, no leaks, but LOUD!" Read more
"...This one was super easy to install (we already had the window kit in place for the last unit)...." Read more
"...On the down side, the instructions are poor and even conflicting in regard to how the fittings are to be connected to the hose ends..." Read more
"...In short, the remote is my friend.Installation wasn't difficult but, I know my way around tools and have had a lot of experience installing..." Read more
Customers are mixed about the value of the air conditioner. Some mention that it's worth the price to sleep better at night in a cool and comfortable home, while others say that it is not worth the money, the service costs are too high to justify, and the unit is beyond economical repair.
"...All in all, this was a magnificent purchase thus far and worth every dollar...." Read more
"...somewhere that is more enclosed it to cool a living room, it wasn’t worth the money...." Read more
"...its a good route! zone cooling is cheaper on the electric bill anyway!...." Read more
"...refrigerant (which basically the best as of now) but I believe it's overpriced. I also noticed their is still ALOT of negative pressure in the room...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the appearance of the air conditioner. Some mention that it looks good, is very nice, and pretty cool. However, others say that it look terrible, has poor design, and is an eyesore in their room.
"...This is smaller than my last. Dual hose design is great. Can also operate in single hose mode if the temperature outside is too high/low...." Read more
"...The frame that holds the hoses in place in the window is poorly designed and the manual suggests a permanent installation, including screwing the..." Read more
"Product is beautiful and easy to use and comfort left is very good and relaxing. It keeps you cool all day and is quiet as a whisper.." Read more

So here we go with the details. The unit arrived, and I set it up myself without any issues. Took me about 30 min to get it all done. I noticed that the window board was pretty thin, so I put some extra foam behind the edges of the board to block some outside noise (kids playing in the courtyard). Additionally, I also put gorilla tape around the whole edge of the window board to prevent hot air from leaking into the apartment.
After getting it set up, I let it rest for 24 hours (which you should always do with portable AC's). I came home the next day from work and it was about 95 degrees outside. However, inside my apartment felt way hotter like a sauna/green room as it was baking in the heat with the windows closed all day. Immediately, I put this baby on blast at the highest setting, and set the temperature to 61 degrees which is the lowest. A short 10 minutes later, the apartment living room felt like it was livable again. An hour later, and I was in a cool paradise. I even set up a box fan that blew from my living room into my bedroom and to my surprise, this method actually cooled my room down to a sleepable temperature!
The first two weeks I've had it I was super paranoid with the whole leakage situation. I would check back every 1-2 hours like clockwork to see if the AC was leaking water onto the floor. Part of my paranoia was caused by the dripping sound I hear within the unit. To my surprise, even after a month of use, I haven't gotten any leakages! The self evaporating system seems to be working great thus far, at least in my humidity level. If you want to compare to your environment, just look up Culver City, California temperatures & humidity and you'll be able to see what kind of environment my AC has been running on. Today is 86 degrees, with 53% humidity, and I usually have it running 6-10 hours a day. No leaks, and no drain pipe needed, at least not yet.
There was one small issue I've had though. This is NOT a quiet unit. If you're looking for something quiet perhaps for a baby's room, this is not the one. It definitely runs loud. I don't know the exact decibel level but when sitting next to it, it sounds like there's a tiny lawn mower roaring next to me. I'm completely OK with the sound level, and it's not loud enough to interfere with my discord calls, even when I'm sitting right next to it, so all is well. Plus, I'd rather my apartment be a little noisier but cool, than silent and hot lol...
All in all, this was a magnificent purchase thus far and worth every dollar. It seems like each individual customer's experience may vary, but mine has been great through this month of intense Cali heat. Would strongly recommend this product to anyone who feels like their soul is melting to the heat. Hope this helps!
TLDR: Reliable unit so far, great cooling, easy assembly, no leaks, but LOUD!

TLDR: Reliable unit so far, great cooling, easy assembly, no leaks, but LOUD!
Noise: This unit is so much more quiet than our last one that I thought the compressor wasn't on. Since we have our's near the TV, noise was a big issue and this one is much better for that purpose.
It also gets VERY cold and distributes the cold air to a wide area. There's no swinging fan feature, but that's fine for us. We haven't tried to program a timer or leave it on long enough to turn itself off when it reaches a certain temp. We use our AC intermittently when we're home, so these weren't huge features for us. The remote is nice, but the display is so tiny it's hard to read. A drawback, but not a dealbreaker.
Draining was a HUGE problem for our last unit. Not only did it need to be drained every day in humid weather (we're in the mid Atlantic), condensation would collect in the lower part of the unit and wind up all over the floor. It was a massive pain, and largely why we wanted to replace it. This one is much more solidly built, and we have no had condensation build up and no leaking. Because where we live is humid, we did find the tank filled up a couple times a day. So I bought a short garden hose and bucket (both are barely visible behind the unit). The garden hose fits perfectly for the middle drain, and HOLY CRAP this takes a lot of humidity out of the air! I'd say 4-5 gallons a day if you're running it all the time in humid conditions. We could run a hose to outside, but the window is higher than the unit, and I need to see if that's an option. For now emptying the bucket isn't too much of a chore, but I won't be leaving it on overnight or for the cats when I'm not home.
My partner has arthritis so dehumidifying was key for us. This unit does a fantastic job with that. But make sure you expect to drain it into a bucket or run a hose. It's well-made and solidly built, and so far, I highly recommend it!

noisy but acceptable as we do not operate it all night.
