Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Ok; I have literally read thousands of reviews for almost a year, debating back and forth between which portable AC to buy for my PopUp camper. The reviews are all over the place on every unit and it’s been difficult to figure which one fits my needs. I now have two separate units, including a B&D 10,000 btu unit. The first one I purchased was a Wynter dual hose 14k btu unit. It is absolutely enormous. It works unbelievably well, but i knew as soon as I opened it that it wasn’t going to work in my camper simply due to size. That realization sent me off on another chase. I ultimately settled on this unit and it’s absolutely perfect. I haven’t installed it in my camper yet, as I need to cut a hole for the exhaust hose and drain, but I have used it in my home and it’s going to be perfect. Lastly, for anyone wondering about noise, I would first say to watch the video I posted. Secondly, I’ll just say that I no longer pay attention to anyone complaining about the noise associated with these units. There were similar reviews about the brand I first purchased and it wasn’t that loud either, though louder than this B&D unit (which I expected due to difference in size). At the end of the day, this isn’t an AC unit that’s outside your home. If you’re expecting this kind of unit to be silent, or even near silent, that’s patently ignorant. I don’t know how to say it any nicer. As I said in my video, this sounds like a unit used in a hotel room. If you don’t like that kind of noise while staying in a hotel, just don’t buy a portable AC at all. This is a great unit and hit all of my main concerns: (1) price; (2) power; and (3) size. I’ll be using the unit in my camper in a month and expect it will be quite hot so I’ll update the review afterward and let you all know if it’s able to keep up. *UPDATE* 5-30-20 As I mentioned originally, I bought this to install in my camper. So I will add the caveat that I can’t say how this would perform indoors. However, I would also say that if it will work in a camper with no insulation and only canvas walls, then holy cow, it will definitely work indoors. So I wanted to post a video but the site won’t let me post more than 1. Basically, I installed the AC and set up my camper to get ready for a trip so I could see how the AC would hold up if the camper was in direct sunlight and in temps over 80. Today it was 84 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. I set up the camper around 2ish, got the AC and everything up and running around 3:30. It was 92 inside the camper when I started the test. I turned the thermostat to 70 and had the fan in high. I left it for exactly 20 minutes. I rent weed the camper and it was approx 76 degrees. I lowered the thermostat to 67 at about 5 and waited an hour and half. When I went back in the camper it was 75 outside and a chilly 66 degrees inside!! (See my pic of the thermostat). I am absolutely ecstatic about this. I bought this because I have 3 camping trips planned this summer. I have 3 boys under 5, and a wife who isn’t a camper. This thing is amazing and it’s going to allow us to sleep comfortably at night despite expected temps in excess of 90 degrees. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase and how it is performing. And just so you know, I didn’t use any of the venting hardware or plates that came with the kit. Instead I bought a 6 inch nautical inspection from SEAFLO. I installed it in the floor of my camper and it works perfectly. I can vent the AC and also drain it through the same hole. I have a blog and I’ve posted a video of how I did this if you’re interested (hobitandknobbin.com). Overall, this unit works great, it’s priced reasonably and I absolutely couldn’t be happier. If you’re wanting this for indoor use, I’d say it will absolutely do the job.
