  1. VWMan

    The AC unit has met my expectations and I am glad I made the purchase. It is a great supplement to my larger AC units.

  2. Itishotthisyear

    Not a bad air conditioner for the price. It is al little loud. It has taken some modification to get the window insert to fit.

  3. Zeldamom

    Does the job for me – bedroom use with air conditioning on hot nights and fan on moderate nights. Fit my expectations (ie I did not expect this mobile fan to act like central air conditioning so am happy with it). Cools down the room fairly quickly.
    Have not yet found the tube to get warm like other reviewers.

  4. Shelly

    It was very stylish but took a long time to cool my small bedroom. I was hoping it would cool my bedroom and a hallway with it being 12000 btu but my 5000 BTU kicked out cooler air than this. Maybe it was just a dysfunctional machine I got, but I returned it and bought a 5000 BTU for just the bedroom, a Haier A/C. Hopefully this does the trick. Best of luck

  5. Babygirl1

    To new to properly review performance. But, is attractive and was easier to install than previous, similar machine bought elsewhere. However, wish that window fixture opening was oval share rather than circular….therefore less intrusive/offensive to Condo-Commandos!

  6. Valcael

    I was excited to get this unit. I had done some research and it was rated in the top ten. Unfortunately, it takes a lot of time to cool down a medium size room. It is also moderately loud which is a problem because I have it set up in my family room. We have to turn the tv volume up in order to try and drown out the noise. Very disappointed in this product!!!

  7. williebx106

    THE PORTABLE AC WORKS GREAT COMBINED WITH THE ONE…

  8. BenGeekn

    The unit can be a bit noisy when the compressor is running as it’s louder than the fan on any setting. It’s not just this specific unit, I have two of these from different sources

    Other than that, I’m quite happy with the unit.

    LIKES:
    * Remote control
    * Timer (1-8 hours to On, if off, or 1-8 hours to Off, if already on)
    * Digital temperature setting
    * No need to empty water (in AC mode)
    * Casters let you roll it easily

    DISLIKES:
    * A bit loud
    * Large “wall-wart” plug due to embedded breaker (which is a good thing, it just takes up space)
    * Exhaust hose window kit not long enough for full-height left/right sliding windows – I ended up ordering another kit and using its parts to extend the length. Window kit part # is ARC-WK-12SP

    I WISH IT HAD:
    * Vertical adjustment for the vent – it only lets you adjust output a few degrees left/right (which you could do by simply turning the unit)

  9. Judyb

    Very accommodating for my kitchen keeps us very cool

  10. Aggie

    Works quickly and cools room very quickly. The installation was so easy and I didn’t have to lift a heavy air conditioner into a window.

  11. Sxapil

    Pretty easy setup for product but noticed it couldnt attach to window i had at home.

  12. patty

    My husband and I are no longer able to get the window units in so we decided to go with the portable air conditioner. We researched online and decided on this brand based on the reviews it received. The only advantage is that it is portable and can be moved from room to room!

  13. Helloworld

    It does a great job cooling a living room. Very quite as well.

  14. Sagy

    Great product!! It really filled my expectation. Easy to install and excellent performance in all weather

  15. Becca

    TERRIBLE PRODUCT IS VERY LOUD I RETURNED ITEM WOULD ‘T BUY IT !!!

  16. spendyman

    OK. I hemmed and hawed about this purchase. I’m glad I pulled the trigger. It’s an excellent energy efficient unit. It’s fairly quiet for an air conditioning unit. My only complaint, is that the fan never shuts off. There isn’t a “power saver” mode like window units have. If it had that feature I would have given it 5 stars.

  17. Harsha

    I bought this product a few weeks back and it works as intended. I use this in my Master Bedroom and works flawlessly. Takes 15-20 mins to bring down the temp from 72-73 to 68 in the summer. Makes little more noise than the other ones (Honeywell) but it’s not annoying.

  18. TOMS

    The price was good for the product. Works perfect for a 400 square foot room. I also like the dehumidifier.

  19. Cooler

    This is a beast and cools even large rooms. Works great, although it’s a bit large.

  20. Ivory148

    Ten times better than a window a/c unit. Had for about a month now and I have no issues with it.

  21. Ameennickname1

    I’m guilty of being a smoker and never liked the aftermath of the inside smoking habit! This thing is perfect for that situation

  22. Jaycen10

    I bought this AC because the Honeywell I wanted was out of stock. It works well. I wish the fans were adjustable so you point the cold air going up more. But not complaints here. You have to expect that it not going to make your room freezer cold like the ac’s in hotel rooms. It keeps my bedroom very cool and comfortable

  23. Alex420

    Works really well on hot days ! Especially when your in the third floor and no balcony.

  24. Anthony

    Good portable air conditioner. Cools room efficiently, runs quietly.

  25. TooHotInMN

    My old LG worked better than this thing for 1/2 the price. It doesn’t produce any water (which the LG had constant water flowing, as we live in a very humid climate). You only feel the cold air if you stand directly in front of the unit. Was hoping with the great reviews this thing had, it would compare similar to the LG (no longer manufactured).

  26. Shawna

    this portable ac works great, cools down the area we need it to, would definitely recommend

  27. Quezy

    We love how it keeps our room cool and it doesn’t take long to cool down.

  28. Pete

    Packs a punch for a smaller machine. Light, does my whole basement. Powerful blower.

  29. MsDanie69

    The customer service is very good. When it started regularly having issues bekng louder and thump the all power would go out tripping circuit breaker even thiugv it had its own dedixated outlet. Obviously that wasnt enough for this unit adter a year it needed to work hardwr and would never get as cold it once did. But arull i was frateful on those triple digit days last summer where it brought our family room down to at least 89 it just quit usually sometime between 4-7 peak hours thankfully i had the extended geek squad warranty for repair , replacem i took it i yeaterdat expecting to drop it off for repairs and was told they’d give me credit to buy another one since they had none in stock and diacontinued swllin them too maybek NOTHIBG THEY HAVE NOW TO BIT EVEN COMES CLOSE TO THE VALUE of my deal of the dat when I purchase the unit. I dont lime the replacement and will be taki g it back o TODAY
