SereneLife Portable Air Conditioner 12,000 BTU with Built-in Dehumidifier - Portable AC unit for rooms up to 550 sq ft - Small AC Unit Remote Control, & Window Mount Exhaust Kit Included

Arrived quickly and in good condition. Haven't had to really run it much yet but appears it will do the job. (This is what I posted the day I set it up.) Okay, the unit was in perfect condition the day it arrived but it took me a few days to get around to setting up. Take note and register the warranty on it; simply by registering SereneLife gives you an additional 3 months warranty (15 months total.) Setting up the unit itself wasn't difficult at all but I did have to purchase a larger window kit (we have 55" sliding windows in our sunroom.) That was a bit time consuming but that's not the fault of the air conditioner: looking at their window kit, for a standard window you could probably have it setup in 10 minutes. Most of these reviews are about cooling bedrooms or areas of less than 200 square feet. Personally, I can't see how on earth if set up properly this unit wouldn't rock in a room that size. I purchased it for a sunroom that is glass and metal and roughly 275 sq feet. The ceiling is lofted so probably 12' at center. It gets the afternoon sun ALL afternoon and without cooling tops out at 88 - 90 degrees on a 98 degree day. Warm. I set this unit to run at 78 and over time have experimented with leaving the door open to the house, closing the door, having the ceiling fan blowing down and blowing up. This unit consistently keeps the room at 80ish (that's an 8 - 10 degree cooling) and keeps the humidity in the 35 - 45 % range. For that room, it does EXACTLY what I need it to do. I run it about 4 hours each day in the afternoon from 4 - 8. Usually after 7 or so, it gets to 78 and shuts off. So, I got what I paid for: a unit that keeps the room cooler with lower humidity. I never expected it to keep that room at a perfect temperature. I expected it to make it tolerable. So, if you're buying this for a small bedroom, den, etc., it will probably meet all of your expectations. You can set it where the vent cover moves so it helps circulate air better. At any rate, it was far cheaper than investing in a split unit to make a room tolerable 3 - 4 months out of the year.

Works well and runs quietly. Things that are worth noting on this unit are firstly just how quickly it is able to cool down a space. Perfect for our bedroom after a hot day where our noral A/C can't cope - we put on about 20 mins before going to bed and room is perfectly cool in time - this is where having an app to operate the machine is amazing as we can switch on and off from our phoes without needing to go upstairs. Secondly, it is VERY quiet, so again ideal for use on our bedroom but would also seeing it be perfect for kids rooms or an office as very little running nose at all. Really glad we've made the investment although was purly for the summer, love that it also has a heating function ready for winter but more impressively it can also be used as a dehumidifier as well as a 'traditional' fan so you really do have all your needs to catered to in one impressive unit - would msot def recommend to others.

I bought this unit to cool a fairly large finished basement space. It's powerful enough to cool the entire space while fighting against a gaming rig, server rack with multiple servers running 24/7, clothes dryer and an oil fired boiler. In my situation, because the only windows in my basement are too small for a traditional window unit, I had to use one of these. It ended up being the most cost effective solution. I asked my local HVAC company that I work with to quote me on having a mini split installed and they quoted me over 4 grand. That would obviously be more efficient in regards to the electricity usage, but at 10 times the cost of this portable unit I couldn't justify it. This ended up being the best solution. After about a year of usage, the compressor on my unit stopped working and it stopped blowing cold air. I contacted customer support and they were very helpful in securing me a new unit and shipping it to me free of charge, even upgrading me to a newer unit in the process. The new unit arrived quickly and in good condition and is doing a great job as usual. So, while portable air conditioners in general are not as efficient as a mini split, they certainly cost a whole lot less and the performance of this unit in particular is very good. The sound is also not that loud. I have a home recording studio in my basement and while I turn it off for more sensitive recordings I don't have to if I'm just live streaming a jam session or something. It's not any more loud than other window units I've had in the past. So, if you've got a space that's difficult to cool like an attic or basement with small windows or if you live in a rented space and aren't allowed to install a window unit, this is a fantastic option. If it can cool my space with all that equipment running, it won't even break a sweat cooling your average bedroom or office.

I spent months reading reviews on portable ACs before finally hitting the purchase button. This unit was neck and neck with another unit. There is NO unit out there with five-star reviews so it just came down to what I thought was the best and paying attention to consistencies in other reviews. The unit arrived safe and sound and was extremely easy to install. Almost too easy. I do recommend getting window strips to help seal around where the hose goes out the window. My apartment is pretty small - 630 sq. ft. and becomes a SAUNA due to poor insulation and no protection from the sun. When it is 70 outside, it's 85 inside. I've been wanting to get something to help cool it down, especially after a Summer with a few 90-degree days that had it 100 inside. Another helpful piece of info is that I'm in the pacific northwest. We don't get the prolonged heat waves that other areas of the country do. We have moderate humidity (sometimes severe) and lately, we've been having some week-long or longer heat waves. Normal Summers are just a few days of heat and then we get a cool off. We've had a few 80 degree days here already so I was excited to put this unit to the test and I have been pleasantly pleased! I can feel the cool air right away when I turn it on and while it doesn't get my apartment down below 80, it feels GREAT! I can actually sit comfortably and not feel like I'm sweating just blinking my eyes. The trick is to get it turned on right away in the morning while my apartment is still cool. I have a ceiling fan in the same room which really helps circulate the cool air. I put a fan in the doorway of my bedroom to pull the cool air into it as well and it totally works. So thankful for this unit! My heat box has now turned into a comfortable apartment. A couple of other things to note: Some of the reviews mentioned the water drainage and how it was a lot. I have not noticed that at all with mine but I'm pretty sure this is related to the humidity. That would be something to consider for you. Since I don't live in a place with ridiculous humidity 24/7 the water drainage has been very minimal. Another thing I seemed to recall reading about was the noise level. Honestly, I have NEVER lived somewhere with a quiet AC unit. Unless it's central air, those units are noisy! This unit startled me a couple of times when it would come on but now that I recognize the sound it doesn't bother me at all. As far as electricity - It has not done anything significant to my electric bill. Of course, I don't leave it running 24/7. And, thankfully, as mentioned before, the heat waves around here aren't too prolonged. All in all, I am very pleased with this purchase and would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a portable AC unit or at least some type of AC that is more affordable than the alternative.

So, I bought the 12,000 unit, and just placed an order for a 2nd. I feel the first few uses, it got the bedroom very cool, the lowest setting is 60 degrees. Now, it's only "cooling" the bedroom, and not as icy as it once was. Hmm. I'm not sure, so I just ordered another and do not want to waste such a huge amount of money (the other is for the extra bedroom or dining room area). I tested this in our bedroom (ours is smallish, works well), then the small dining room and it worked well with our ceiling fan to cool kitchen/dining off and feel some blowing into living room as well. I tried it by the front door/living room, our living room is huge, so I didn't notice a huge cooling difference, I would think that the living room would need 2. The good: -Very Portable, I can just wheel room to room (has deep handles) so easily! -Set up, was EASY, simple and quick (even getting out of the box). -At first works amazing -I haven't experienced any leaking, but I don't turn it on "dry", I turn it on "cooling". -The hose is LONG -Window piece was easy to fit and put in, quickly and works pretty good, with minimal gaps. -comes with hose/window kit -Casters/roll super easy -feels sturdy -Cools to 60 degrees (other ones we bought go down to 65 degrees only). -It tells you how "warm" or the temp of room at current (when turned off) -remote control is great. It has 3 different fan speeds, swinging of the fan blades, and you can set cooling level, also dehumidifies (I have not used this yet!) or you can use as just a fan. -You can keep in window at all times with a dowel, or it comes out easily if you need to close window (absolutely 100x easier than a window unit in my opinion). Is it cooler than a window unit? Jury's out. -Energy saver, so hasn't blown any circuits or fuses (I'll update when I get my power bill). The Bad: -The "swing" feature on mine where the flaps rotate the air (you can turn off) SQUEAK LOUDLY, annoying and so I turn it "off". -It is LOUD like a loud fan -It is big, like bigger than a night stand, like half size of a dresser -Jury is out on if it cools well enough after first couple weeks??? -The BIG problem is the back where the hose attaches, no matter what I do HEAT ESCAPES, the hose is warm/hot, and the heat ALSO escapes at the end by the window. I will need to buy pipe insulation and tape it on I think to remedy it. The hose is long and great, but it's cheap and may rip easily, And why does heat escape out the back no matter what, it's ANNOYING. And that heats up the room, if I could solve this issue (I'll update when I try thermal wrap), and see if it helps. Putting a screen in the window keeps bugs out, but I feel the screen "out" of the window makes the heat go out better/cooling room off better/but small bugs can get in. -The window piece is flimsy but fits in my bedroom window it does not however fit in my small dining room windows, I wish the size was more VERSITIALE. The piece that hooks to the window part falls off a lot/heat escapes. -Wish/needs to come with thermal wrap for hose. -They REALLY need to have added a "screen" on the end of the hose for hanging out windows, without window screens, otherwise bugs could just crawl right up it. Update: 1 doesn't work. I only used a few months last summer. Tried cleaning filters, turning on and off, it's huge and bow I got to dump it. Waste of over 400$ when I've had window units last 8 years or more. I tried everything and it only blows fan room temperature air no air condoned air.

Very easy to setup right out of the box. Keeps my shop nice and cool. So quiet I usually have to double check to make sure it’s on!

I wanted to turn my large shed into a usable workshop. I have power to the space but it didn’t have any climate control to make it comfortable to be in for long. This portable until hooks up easily to a window and has the capacity to heat or cool a 650 square foot space. That’s a bit more than I need but my insulation isn’t great so I opted to have more. It does a great job of cooling the space fast this summer and it has been super hot out. It has wifi control so I’m able to turn it on remotely and I like to do that about 30 minutes before I go out. I like that it is has an inverter to allow variable speed compressor operation, which ensures optimum energy efficiency at every temperature setting. This unit also has heating, dehumidifying and fan modes so I’ll be able to comfortably use the space year round. It’s very easy to set up, I find it so much easier than putting in a window unit. I’m very happy with how well this works. It is powerful and runs pretty quiet. I can comfortably work in my shed, it is exactly what I needed.

I bought this little dandy because our primary system is not working right and we needed something to cool a large bedroom at night while the AC repairman is waiting for parts to come in. This SereneLife 12.5 portable unit has been running continuously for five days and nights now and is doing a great job. I was concerned about the hassle of draining condensation but that has not been necessary so far - and it has been more humid than normal here lately. The instruction booklet says that in cool mode there is some kind of self-evaporation system and I guess there must be because after it had run a couple of days I did remove the drain plug just to check and only a few ounces of water came out, so I quit worrying about that. Noise is going to be subjective and I was concerned about that too, but for no need. We've been pleasantly surprised and don't find it to be very loud at all and most of the sound it does make is white noise, which has actually helped our sleep. It's much quieter than any window unit I've ever been around. I really like the design of the window vent kit, but did have to shorten the smaller sliding section by a few inches as others have also mentioned. With a circular saw using a plywood/laminate blade it was smooth and easy, but a simple miter box and hacksaw should do the job too, just anything to help make a smooth/straight/square cut. Last but certainly not least, it's blowing some mighty cold air and I plan to keep this thing handy even after the primary ac system is fixed. It was among the most competitively priced options when I bought it and well worth the coin. Just my own opinions and experience here, yours may differ. Good luck!

Este producto ha estado trabajando optimamente. La instalacion fue rapida. No necesite de servicios externos. No fue dificil, la caja traia todo lo necesario. Entro en operacion inmediatamente, funcionando muy bien. Lleva algunas semanas en operacion constante y hasta el momento opera al 100%. Solo observar muy bien la ventana donde se colocara el tubo de expulsion del aire caliente que es realmente muy caliente y fuerte, de tal manera que se adapte bien para que quepa y ajuste correctamente con el panel que trae la caja, ya que el tubo tiene correctamente cierto flexibilidad que realmente permite cierto movimiento del enfriador, lo cual es positivo para poder dirigir el aire frio a donde estemos sentados. En conclusion, totalmente recomendable.

I’ve been very happy with this portable AC. It cools my room quickly, and the dual-hose design seems to make a noticeable difference compared to other portable units I’ve used. The inverter technology keeps it relatively quiet, and I like being able to control it with both the remote and the app. Installation was straightforward with the included window kit, and everything worked right out of the box. It’s powerful enough to keep my space comfortable even on hot days. Overall, it’s an excellent portable air conditioner and well worth the purchase.

I’ve been using this AC for a week now, and it’s honestly exceeded my expectations. My living room and open kitchen are around 550 sq. ft., and it cools the space much faster than my older single-hose portable AC ever did. The dual hose design is the biggest improvement. Instead of pulling hot air back into the room, it cools much more efficiently and doesn’t have to run constantly. The inverter compressor is another huge plus. It ramps up and down instead of turning on and off all the time, so the temperature stays more consistent and the unit is quieter than I expected. Setup took about 20 mins with the included window kit. The WiFi app is easy to control and it’s nice being able to turn the AC on before getting home. And the heater function is a nice bonus that I will probably using it in winter.

Es bueno en general y cubrió mis expectativas. Espero que el consumo de luz no sea tan significativo pero aún no lo sé. Si esperan algo que sea silencioso no es para ustedes. Yo ahora uso tapones en los oídos y puedo dormir bien.

Ordenamos desde México, el paquete llego en excelentes condiciones. Enfría un cuarto pequeño en aproximadamente 10 minutos. Es un producto de buena calidad.
