10000BTU Portable Air Conditioners - Cools 450 Sq.Ft, 3-in-1 Portable AC Unit with Fan & Dehumidifier, Sleep Mode, 24H Timer, Remote Control, Window Kit for Bedroom Office Apartment Dorm

Opening comment: this is the 3rd portable AC I've bought in the past decade. It was delivered promptly as promised and in good shape, but that might be a "luck of the carrier" situation. I'm a strong elderly female with mobility issues, especially with bending and lifting with both arms. After opening the top of the box, the box was easy to slit down the sides starting at two corners to create an "exit" for the AC. After removing some accessories and packing at the top, I could slide the unit out of the box easily, using the handles on the AC. With a pole, I was then able to slip off the bottom packing after a couple of tries. The unit is a good height and reasonable weight that seems evenly distributed, so the process didn't strain my back. The vent tubing fit well and securely into the adapter for the window, and the unit turned on and began cooling as expected. If you are challenged like me about bending low, not only is there a continuous drain port that is half way up the unit, but the unit is a self evaporating system. It can be very humid here during Arizona's monsoon season, so both features help with easy maintenance. So, all that gets rid of the misery of routinely draining from a bottom drain port; it will just be needed at the end of the season. Compared to my other units, this one is a bit taller and lighter with more evenly distributed weight, and that makes for easier moving and maintenance. It was well packaged but not a bear to open, and all the parts fit together well.

Total lifesaver. I live in Miami where it is very hot and humid. I live in a 100-year-old house and there are two Central AC units, 1 for each floor. But it gets ridiculously expensive running the central air only to cool the room that I am staying in. So I got this portable one to put in the bedroom. Very nice, very nice looking as well. It cools very well, and also has a dehumidifier feature that you can use to help pull humidity out of the air. On low it does not make a lot of noise, depending on what you consider noisy. I like white noise at night and this is perfect. On high it is much louder. There's a sleep mode that you can use that after an hour will drop two degrees cooler and then the next hour it will drop 2° once again to keep you cool as you fall asleep. It really is a must-have and worked great. We shall see how it holds up in the future. One word of advice, the exhaust tube that connects to the plastic shield that slides onto the back of the unit, where that tube connects to the actual plastic part, lots of warm exhaust air blows out of that area which fills the room full of hot air and it takes more time to cool it down. You can take tape or like what I did, a real long sock and I wrapped it and tied it around that area where the exhaust tube goes into that piece and it has made a huge difference. The room gets much colder quicker and stays cold. I could feel the hot air just pushing through there no matter how tight you connect the pieces together. Just a word of advice.

It works well as a fan but not as an AC. When you press the off button it takes a full minute for it to shut off. If you put it on high AC it’s very loud. The other night I finally kept it on low AC. The next morning it looked rainy so I removed the vent part to close the window and there was a strong smell. I unplugged it for safety. It took hours for the body to get cool. Returns are a pain cause you have to mail it back and pay for it yourself. I’m very disappointed.UPDATES:after only a few uses this thing started burning up and now my whole apartment smells of burning plastic chemicals. it CANNOT be safe to breathe in. i really can’t understand how this product has such great reviews. i have never had such a horrible experience before and i urge you not to waste your money. don’t risk it. go to a store. go with a brand you trust.

The exhaust hose is large, emits a lot of heat, so I heat wrapped it. The dehumidifier is a beast, and the cooling/fan selections are great. It moves smoothly and it is an attractive unit. Don't know the impact on electric bill yet.

Oh my goodness! I have been living in my own apartment for about 3 1/2 months. At first, it was nice, but then as the summer time hit, we realized that our apartment had an outdated thermostat and no HVAC system. I spent every night sweating profusely and uncomfortable in the heat. I swear it had to be at least 90⁰F in my apartment. It was colder outside than it was inside. I already had 3 fans running along with a AC unit my mom bought me that turned out to be a swamp cooler. Nothing was working. Finally, in desperation, I bought this, and thank God I did. For once, my apartment is freezing and I've never been more happy with this purchase. Although a little spendy, it's worth every penny, and it got here within 3 days!

Bought this for my son because his room gets the least amount of A/C flow and gets the hot late afternoon sun. This small unit cools his room(12x14) and actually will make it too cold even with the video games and teenage boys in there.It is very quiet, easy to install and worth the money. The exhaust hose is long and the coverage plates are excellent for large windows. The connector is a bit flimsy but since it doesn't need to be moved, it works perfectly.The unit is quite heavy,has no condensation build up nor leaking and he loves the idea that he can use the remote control to change temps without getting up.

Excellent Price !As package box says, leave it upright for 24hrs after delivery, I saw Fed Ex carry it on his shoulders horitzontal,compressor oil has to settle upright, therefore, be patient, and allow 24 hrs after delivery to start unit.Bonus! When you hook up for the venting, be mindful to use special metal tape for venting to wrap the tape around ALL the connections, plus, use an extra insulating duct wrap around the exhaust tube, check Amazon, or the other stores for that, you'll give it a better R-Value to help further prevent loss of cooling.
