Portable Air Conditioner

A good all-around unit, light, simple to install and maintain, and it does a stellar job in my 15x15-ft bedroom, I would definitely recommend it. The instruction booklet was not very well written or formatted, they do need to work on this. I was surprised when I received the unit to find it was PYLE USA, a electronics manufacturer that specializes in audio, I've purchased some of their equipment in the past, and it's still running just fine. The remote control is just the way I like it, it runs the basic functions without having to have a PhD in electronics engineering, just the basic buttons but all the ones you need. Recommended..... Update: 7/31/2021 I purchased a second unit, now they are the only AC units running in the house. The temperature is 102° outside, and one unit is in the living room, and one is in the back side of the house, which is about 1100 ft². The temperature is a nice 70° in the house, which I did not expect, between the two units there is 16,000 BTU, (actually 15,000 BTU) which from a standpoint of thermal units shouldn't be enough to cool the house, but I'll be darned if it doesn't. Good units, get them while you can. This is an update covering the last two years of use with two of these, today I'm coming back for a third one. I'm not going to butter your bread, you'll get an honest evaluation for me. The two units that I have in a straight performance viewpoint have been nothing short of astounding, these units just run and run and run, both units have been on 24/7 for the last 2 years, obviously you don't need an AC unit in the winter, what we use them as air filters as well, put on fan only the unit does a good job of clearing the air in the room. I bought one for my personal bedroom, I like my own climate control, and I love to sleep in a chilled room with the blankets piled up. The only thing I could legitimately gripe about is the units are a bit noisy, but to me it's almost like a comforting white noise sound, it's not screeching, or making loud mechanical noises, it produces a low frequency hum which is noticeable, but not displeasing. 2 years of 100% reliable use, and a cooling capacity that definitely exceeds its rating You're not going to find anything that works as hard and performs as well for under $300 My recommendation for this unit is simply this, after 2 years of owning two of these, I'm adding a third..... An update ! 5 years of running it 24/7 and it's still continues to cool just as well as the day I bought it. Fantastic product, The only maintenance it requires is cleaning the filter and emptying the dehumidifier tank. The reason mine runs 24/7 is I use it as a air filtration system, the fan runs 24/7 and keeps the air fairly clear from my soldering, wood burning, and many others in my crafting.

I'm hesitant to write reviews on electronics after just receiving them, so I waited a year to write a review on this air conditioner. We've had this unit since July 2025 (it's currently June 2026), and it still works like a dream! We're actually ordering an additional one for another bedroom. Pros of this AC unit are that it cools FAST. The airflow is strong, and if you point the vents up toward the ceiling, you can chill a medium sized bedroom in ~15 minutes. It also hasn't had a large impact on our energy bill -- only about a $20 increase from our winter electricity bills. We generally only run the machine during the hottest part of the day (~1pm to 8pm), so if you find yourself running it 24/7 at the coldest settings, your results may vary. Cons of this AC unit are related to the noise. The machine is pretty powerful, and the sound of the air rushing out of the machine is on-par with a normal window AC unit. It's similar to a large white noise machine. The machine's on/off/temp adjustment beeps are also loud -- probably so they can be heard over the sound of the fans -- but we've learned to live with that. One neutral comment from our house is the size/weight -- we live in a partially carpeted house, and so when these machines come out, they stay where they're at for the season. They're not overly heavy, but it's an arduous task to pick them up and carry them to a new spot. Moving the machines on hard floors though? Easy as pie. There's barely any resistance. Make sure to consider the floor situation of the room you're putting this in. At the end of the day - it's 1yr later and we're still using our original units without issues. Our new unit is on the way, and we're hoping that it performs the same. If there's been some quality change in the last year, we'll post a new update.

Purchased this A/C unit for the hot summer in Arizona in May 2025. This has worked without any problems all summer. Cools a moderate size kitchen and even brings down temp in our living room a little. A little loud, but it is an A/C unit so it's expected. About 57 decibels. Maintains it temp without any issues. Easy to set up and use. Set the timer and walk away or don't use the timer. It's up to you. When humid we had to drain the tank in back of the unit about once ever couple of weeks. My only complaint is the filter provided is kind of cheap. Just be careful when pulling it out. Kind of flimsy. Experienced no leaks at all. Used it straight for 3 months about 3-7 hours a day. It does use electricity like a window a/c so you'll see an increase in your electric bill about 15% if you use as long as I did during the summer. There is no heater. Only fan and A/C capability. Make sure you have a window to vent the exhaust. The exhaust blows out hot air. I do overall recommend this product.

10/10. I have a fairly large bedroom and this unit cooled it from 84 -74 degrees in 15 mins with the bedroom door open. I was surprised at how quiet it is. I hear air blowing, as you would with a fan. I have not tried the wifi or remote options yet. Super excited to get those going. I was incredibly stoked to get this bad boy up and running as the air is out and we just hit a record on most triple digit temp days here in Dallas area. Got this on sale all in for $260. Day 1 and I am happy with it. Everything you need is in the box. Super easy to set up! Wonderful! Put my size 10 slipper next to unit for scale.

This is a review for SereneLife SLPAC14 Portable Air Conditioner (14,000 BTU). I had a great AC that died recently. So, I did some research to find the ideal AC, however I had the hardest time choosing one due to lack of information on the AC’s listing pages and lack of honest opinions. So, I’m writing this review to help you make the right decision, or rather to save you from making the same mistake I made. In short, this AC is not good. Stay away. Don’t buy. To elaborate more: - Manual is in broken English. Some instructions are hard to understand. - The AC is heavier and larger than an average portable AC. Plus, you need around 20 inches of space around it, and the hose needs to be 35 inches up and away from the floor. Small room? Low window? No good. - Manual states “When the temperature is higher than 40c/104-f, it’s not recommended to use this unit.” Go ahead, buy this AC, but don’t use it when it’s hot outside. Shouldn’t this be in the product description? Shouldn’t one know BEFORE buying? - Wheels are useless. Needs A LOT of effort to move the AC if you have carpets on your floors. Therefore, it’s not truly portable. You can’t easily move it from window to window, and you might need help to get it to the window you want to install it in. Can’t comment on wooden or tile floors. - Manual states “If the machine is shut down in the cooling operation state, it needs to wait for three minutes before it can be turned on automatically”. And that is exactly what it’s been doing. You set it to cool and pick a temperature. When it reaches the set temperature, it turns totally and completely OFF. Three minutes later, it turns on again, then off. Without switching to fan mood in between. Why is this a problem? Well, you know when you first turn on white noise? You notice it at first, then it blends into the background. It drowns out all other annoying noises and helps you sleep, work, study, etc. Even when it’s loud, you don’t notice it until you shut it off. That’s what this AC does. It turns on with a LOUD white noise, then it turns COMPLETELY off. Doesn’t switch to fan mood. Then, a few minutes later, it turns on again. So you are constantly listing to the sound of white noise turning on and off, repeatedly. It gave me a terrible headache within the hour. It wakes me up every single time it turns off, or on. No restful sleep what so ever. I woke up exhausted and grumpy. If you want peaceful, restful sleep, this AC is not for you. - Control Panel: It sings TELALA in a loud, high-pitched voice, announcing itself to my entire building every time I press any button (panel or remote). How do you feel about your AC shouting at you every time you touch its buttons? If someone is sleeping, and you attempt to adjust the settings on this AC, you’ll wake them up. - Remote: Doesn’t sync with the panel on the AC. If you use the panel to turn on the AC and adjust the settings, then you grab the remote to change something. The settings on the panel will suddenly revert to the last settings you choose the last time you used the remote. All the settings you picked on the panel are now changed. Basically, you’ll need to stick to either the remote or the panel at all times and don’t touch the other. Although, if you want to use the temperature in celsius, your only option is the remote. - Window Kit and Hose: The hose is paper thin. So thin it wrinkles and lets in heaps of heat and sunlight. Window kit is just as bad. Thin plastic. Warps when you close the window, leaves tons of gaps, and doesn’t even fit a standard 35”-36" window. You’ll need to shed an extra $50 for a new kit. - Filter: A cheap thin layer of mesh. Never seen AC filter this cheap. Already showing signs of wear and tear and it’s brand new. - Drain Outlet: There is only ONE drain outlet. Positioned at the very bottom of the AC. It’s so low, it’s touching my carpet. No space, not even for the thinnest pan or tray. If there was a second outlet, you could easily open the bottom outlet (water won’t flow yet), hookup a drain hose, then open the top drain outlet, and THAT will cause the water to flow from the bottom drain. But with just ONE outlet, you need a yard, balcony, or other suitable place that allows for draining without a tray or hose. Many people don’t have such options. Also, when the AC tank is full of water, according to the manual, it’ll start beeping. Who’s in for a midnight awakening during a heat wave because the AC is throwing a fit? - Cooling Power: Even though I got the 14,000 BTU, and the temperature outside is only 22-c/72-f, and the room the AC is in is about 350 sq, I’m sweating! Most likely because the AC is not switching to fan mood. It just keeps shutting down every few minutes. Leaving me feeling suffocated with no flowing air or white noise to save me from my noisy neighbours like my previous AC did! Conclusion: The heat is sneaking upon us here in south California. It’s hard to believe how unlucky I got with this AC. Trapped in this terrible situation. Unable to afford another AC, and have no physical strength, transportation, or help to return it. I just want to cry. So upset. Sad beyond words. Do yourself a favor and look into other ACs from other companies. With that, I end my review and hope that it helped you in your search. Best of wishes to you all.

Thank goodness for this thing! Im in a one bedroom apartment with one wall unit in the living room. I set up this portable AC in my bedroom. Super easy to set up. Works like a charm. Love that I didn’t have to find or buy any extra paneling to seal the window. I also like that it’s like a white noise sound machine too.

This has been a life saver this summer. Our central air is starting to go out but we are waiting til it’s completely dead so insurance and warranty will cover because it was going to be 12k to replace on our own. Our house has been getting to about 80 degrees with the central air and this has been able to get us down to 74-75 within an hour. It can get a little loud when it is up all the way but nothing terrible and once the house has cooled down enough we turn the fan down. It is a little bit heavy for me to carry on my own when it was in the delivery box but once it’s set up it’s on wheels and easy to move throughout the room. I haven’t used the dehumidifier portion since I live in the desert so I cant speak to how well that works. But this is a great portable fan and we’ve been very happy with it. The WiFi option and being able to control it with a remote or the actual appliance itself has been nice.

I bought this AC/Unit / Heater in February 2022 for my man cave area of the home. At first everything worked great. Heat was warm and A/C was ice cold with absolutely zero issues. To be honest this is a very simple device that is easy to setup and use. Instructions are simple. I was to preface this also stating this unit was NOT heavily used. The noise level is moderate (it is not quiet) but can be tolerated by turning up the TV or surround sound. I did not expect it to be super quiet so this is not an issue. What was an issue is that at the end of July 2022, It stopped working. AC was luke warm at best in the middle of the a Southern US summer. At first I was just going to toss it out and be out 400+ bucks or whatever I paid at that time. Instead I told me wife let’s see about this warranty which I turned over to her to deal with. At the end of July my wife called the company to request warranty assistance via a number found for them on google. She was able to get ahold of somebody who stated that a claim was submitted and we would receive an email within 24-48hrs. We did receive a complaint ticket # or reference number for this call. After 3 days we received no response or email and yes we checked junk mail. My wife called them again and asked what the status was and again was told she would receive an email within 24-48hrs. After 48hrs we again had no response so my wife called them again and was told again we would have an email within 24-48hrs. She used the complaint reference number each time she called. After the 3rd callback she received an email within 24hrs asking if we did all the simple things the directions said to ensure it was broken. Things such as unplug it, clean filters, drain it etc., basically easy stuff I checked 17 times before giving up. My wife emailed back and forth with the representative whom did state that it was covered and they would be sending us a new unit. We had to send them a copy of our Amazon receipt which is totally understandable. Once the new unit shipped we had it within a week. Since that time for the small amount I have used it… it is functioning perfectly. I did plug the old unit back in just to see if the heat function at least worked on it since the AC didn’t but that also did not work. So to wrap up. When the unit is working it does work as expected, it looks nice and is easy to use. The jury is still out for me on the overall quality as I’m on my second unit. The warranty is there but will require some work to get it. I still have the old unit which I will now have to take to a dump or recycle center. I realize things break unexpectedly sometimes and I am glad I didn’t have to shell out another large sum of money on a different brand. We also have a second serine life smaller A/C only unit that has worked for one summer thus far. I am going to have to see how this unit works over the winter of 2022 / Summer of 2023 to fully know if I would buy from them again. I hope this helps somebody on the fence in some way.

La instalación fue muy fácil de hacer. Si refresca toda la casa de 1 solo piso. Es un poco ruidoso pero lo demás del A/C es de buena calidad. No requiere enchufe ni cable especial, no jala brutalmente la energía al encender, no hay sobrecalentamiento como en otros aparatos. Lo recomiendo totalmente.

Easy to move, mid size a/c unit. Blows extremely cold air on its lowest setting. Low fan speed setting moves a lot of air, I thought it was on high at first. Set up the timer and let it run for a few hours. It does shut of periodically to empty its excess water but if you have it drain into a container than it turns back on shortly after. For the price I was very happy, shipping seemed a little rough but it's package very well with Styrofoam. So far no issues but it's not really hot yet but bought the extra warranty just in case. Very happy with price point and what you get. Its a lot quieter than most ac units I've heard, most of the noise is the fan because it moves so much air. The heater is a nice touch but reverses the hot air from the back out the front and cool air out the back. Also the support that SereneLife offers is above par.

Buen producto. Enfría muy bien pero es muy ruidoso.

Me parece algo ruidoso pero hace el trabajo y mantiene la habitación a una temperatura confortable, mas en estos días de calor extremo. No he probado el deshumidificador porque donde vivo es mas bien de clima seco. Sugiero actualizar la descripción porque alguna funcionalidad, como el modo de oscilación automático. no la encontré, o no entendí su funcionamiento, pero no demerita la calidad del producto.

Très bon climatiseur. Il refroidit rapidement la pièce et fonctionne de manière silencieuse, ce qui est parfait pour une utilisation de jour comme de nuit. Facile à utiliser et efficace, je suis très satisfait de mon achat et je le recommande.
