8,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner- Portable AC Unit for Bedroom up to 350 Sq. Ft, Cooling, Fan & Dehumidifier, Floor Standing Air Conditioner, 24H Timer, Window Kit Included, Black&White Top Cover

Works great! Small footprint. I hooked up the hose from the upper drain port into a clear 1-gallon juice jug (NOT plastic milk cartons; those are meant to disintegrate & WILL leak). And other reviewers were correct in that the vent fins don't stay open, but I taped them open with white duct tape I already had & you can barely notice (see photo). I would recommend security rods (not tension-spring shower curtain ones, but locking pin ones with feet to adjust to under 1") for window security (I will review those soon as well). My bedroom is always hotter in the summer than the rest of my house as my bathroom sticks out & has 3 walls in the southern sun (east, south, & west) that heats it up. I even had more insulation blown into the attic to no avail. Due to medical issues, I need a cooler bedroom, & the ceiling fan & tower fan were NOT cutting it. This thing gets FRIGID fast! Just set the temperature while in "cool" mode, and it circulates on/off to maintain that temperature. As a lower-priced model, many others in this price range don't have a thermostat to cycle it to your desired temperature other than "high/low" settings, so that's why I chose this model. Dehumidifier & fan only modes are not set by the thermostat, and you may select the temperature to be in either F⁰ or C⁰. There's also a sleep mode & timer, which i have yet to use either. I bought this on the tail-end of summer, so I intend to use it next year as well. I would also recommend taping all the way around the window kit for drafts with duct tape on the edges, seams, & hose connection. My window was a bit too narrow to use the full inner sliding part without blocking half of the hose exhaust opening, but it took just a couple minutes to easily saw off those few inches of it & it worked like a charm for a custom fit with plenty more expandable. I will probably disconnect & store everything for the winter, but it wasn't difficult to install (I've owned larger units like this with an intake & an exhaust hose). I would say it isn't much louder than a microwave & provides good white noise, but it is far from whisper quiet. It is what I pretty much expected. *UPDATE* In the past 24 hours, I have dumped about 2.75 gallons of water out with it in dehumidifier mode. Definitely gonna need a bigger container than a 1 gallon one for overnights if I'm dumping out a gallon every 6 hours or so.

It's one powerful unit. Made a difference very quickly. People claim it leaks, if you don't empty the tank occasionally it'll leak because it's designed to be manually drained. So yeah if you let it over fill it will leak. It's easy to move around, easy to drain on your own into the bath tub when the tank is full and was easy to hook up too. My only real complaint is the blinds on the front, that changes the direction the air flows only goes up or down and I had to tape it open in order for it to stay open. Other wise this was worth it's cheaper price and I'm planning on getting one for my mother's room too.

Very noisy but does cool nicely. I had to attach the hose to the middle section to allow it to drain...often high humidity so it drains about an empty litter bucket's worth of water daily...and that's where the hose is... in an empty litter bucket which we must empty daily. Unfortunately the drain hose is less than 2 ft in length...looking for a 6 ft hose that fits so I can route the drain water outside the same window where the unit's hot air is vented. It has an easy to remove air filter on the side, and if you have pets, plan on cleaning that filter about every 3 to 4 days..as well as clean pet hair off the lower back and right side. However, my wife and I have found this to be more reliable than a window air conditioner (when it comes to having pets)... this unit is on our formerly screened front porch which was enclosed...and that room really needed cooling as our pets have preferred that room. I bought this on sale for just over $185....such a steal for a great portable air conditioner

Definitely did the trick! It cooled my room down tremendously and I was thrilled with how quickly and well it worked And especially for the price!

Works great especially for the price. I saw swamp coolers for more. I put it in a hot work out room at the other side of the house. Its always 82 in the Texas heat. Now it gets as low as 71 degrees with the humidity removed. It does s good job.
