  1. OKushto

    keeps the upstairs to our split level nice and cool.

  2. StoneColdMiller

    This is so easy to setup. This is so much easier than a window A/C. It works perfectly in a small room to cool down below 65 degrees if preferred. I like sleeping and working in extra cool temperatures, keeps me calm It also doesn’t have loud wind noises when it’s running overnight. I also appreciate the fast delivery.

  3. Thebaldguy

    The unit works well, however it was obviously an open box item since the window kit had been cut. Maybe it was returned. I shouldn’t have had to pay full retail for a previously opened item.

  4. IAmIglooThick

    This portable A/C is very handy. The set up is decent, (after reading instructions), some of the information wasn’t explain much but had to put on my thinking cap. Other than that this A/C is great for my 650 SqFt and can be remotely activated and turned off from the app. Which is amazing. It keeps my room cool (not as much as advertised since I prefer my room to be igloo cold lol) but definitely better upgrade from my LG. I recommended it and specially suggest using Best Buy credit card.

  5. Annoyed

    Have to return it tomorrow cus they gave me a used one, some missing parts. Box poorly taped. I surely paid for a new one, idk why they gave me an open box one. Just simply ridiculous paying for that much and waste of my time

  6. Kokopelli26

    Received unit in July, delivered to our door. Doing the install was a bit of a challenge, a the hose in/out panels were only designed for “standard” windows. I had only a sliding glass door. Some improvisation required, but it is done. Works very well to cool bedroom 12 x 15. Hose-in-hose design is ingenious. Hose attachment is awkward, but works.

  7. IBuyTooMuch

    Have another brand that is not nearly as good as this one. Does the job and is fairly quiet.

  8. SupermanDan

    Saved us during a ridiculous heatwave! Was able to cool our room to 77 degrees during a week of 110-15 degrees. Overall it’s a quiet unit with the inverter and the remote works well. The only quirk would be the discharge hose and putting the adapter together for a vertical sliding window. I wish the hose had more flexibility for room placement. I would recommend it for anyone needing to remain cool!

  9. Awal

    Works great! Keeps our room ice cold! Got us though the pnw heatwave this summer. One wheel did come broken but we reached out to the maker and they sent us a replacement free of charge

  10. shopper

    This is the best. What you pay and what you get. I am get to select this one.

  11. KerryM

    Ordered a new one, got a ‘open-box’ pre-owned one, the box was so mis-shapen, damaged and wrapped up so badly. (see photos). Even the ‘previous owner’s UPS label was still on there). I returned it and the customer service staff could not believe BB would ship this out like that. Also appears BB had not posted my previous review on this three days ago. second time I’ve had to review. Next time I’ll ship to the store and pick it up if not damaged.

  12. JohnnyK

    This is the second one of these units I have purchased. The first one also has a heating unit.
    I have also owned many portable units and so far these portable ACs are very quiet, reliable and more efficient than any of the others I have owned.

  13. GordonJ

    Excellent Portable Air Conditioner for large spaces. This Whynter AC unit is definitely designed to provide all the necessary cooling comfort you need.

  14. Brutus

    I installed it through a sliding door. Fairly easy installation. It is quieter than expected.

  15. ElectroRockerz619

    It came damaged and was very expensive. Returned for a less expensive one.

  16. Gadget

    This unit is awesome. So much better than the lower model. My apartment stays very comfortable and cool. Excellent choice.

  17. ISEY

    I love this AC. I bought this for my boat and it works great!

  18. RebeccaL

    Works great my living room is pretty big and leeps it cool

  19. ChristopherB

    The product is great. Has kept my apartment loving area cool due the summer months.

  20. ConnieM

    Not really portable and poorly designed for vertical sliding windows.

    -1 star for fairly quiet operation and 1 star for (alleged) energy efficiency. I think if you have a horizontal sliding window that is dedicated to this AC and the unit can sit right in front of said window, then this may be a good choice for you.
    -The window kit is designed for semi-permanent installation with adhesive foam seals. (This could be nice if the foam seals were actually sized correctly. They were considerably shorter than the window sliders, and too thin to be effective.) I had to use styrofoam packing and duct tape for a temporary seal. Regardless, you can’t move the “portable” AC from room to room with this kit. It’s really no more portable than a conventional window AC, except it has wheels.
    -Manufacturing flaw with window slider “A” which holds the hose. It seems that the vertical window adapter was an after thought and therefore the slider is cut manually to fit this adapter.
    -Vertical adapter has a piece that juts out and cannot be installed without removing your window screen.
    -Bugs can enter through the exhaust hose and the many gaps from this poor design.
    -The hose is too stiff and the unit must be parallel to the window or the adapter pops out of the slider.
    -oh, and have fun with those instructions!

    After all that hassle, it’s not any faster or colder than my 10+ old real portable AC, yet much larger footprint and way less convenient. What a disappointment.
    I’m hoping to exchange for a AC more suitable for temporary vertical window installation.

  21. ICUNursiegirl

    Great portable ac, cools a large master bedroom down quickly! Only wish theyd make a cut out for a sliding door or window. Be aware is not standard size hose to vent! I managed to make my own cut out for slider but would be nice if the company would do one. Otherwise great ac got us through a few weeks of our central being out & i am a day sleeper, will cont to use to help beat the heat.

  22. Buzz

    It works as advertised. I like the smart features. I linked the downloaded phone app with google speakers so that I can control it with my voice. If I am away, I can still control it with my cell phone. The unit is reasonably quiet. I like how the auto mode works which saves energy. The instructions for the dual hose connection could be better written. There are two separate attachments to connect to the window slider part A. The one to use depends on if the window is a double hung window or a slider. Separating the information for the two types of windows instead of presenting it together would make it easier initially to understand what to do.

  23. KevinF

    Clearly well made and very quiet for the power it has. It cools very nicely. What keeps it from 5 stars is the lack of any accessory to extend the dual hoses and the automatic kill switch it employs when temps in the room are 90 degrees or hotter. If someone’s a/c is out and they need to turn to this- it’s useless if the room is already over 90, which in Texas can happen in a very short time when theirs no a/c. Otherwise it’s an outstanding unit.

  24. AdmiralSlacker

    Great AC for a 500+ Sq ft living room! And love being able to interact with it while not at home!

  25. Goyo

    eassy set up and coold the living room pretty quick and not too loud for the high fan setting glad i purchased this one

  26. Colt

    Got this last year during our heatwave! Works amazing and blows insanely cold air! Cools down a large room very quickly!

  27. Henry

    The best AC for LA weather! I replaced my 6 year old model with this one. It is such a difference not only in cooling but the electricity bill. The best part of this AC is the ability to connect to my Alexa enabled devices. This AC has become a great addition to my smart home appliances!

  28. FrankS

    this indoor ac is great it cools my living room and kithchen and easy to install

  29. Unknown

    I bought this for my server room at my house. It does a great job removing the heat from the room, in a quick and efficient manner. I would buy this again if the need came up.
