Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Love this portable AC unit. Bought it for our upstairs master bedroom which is about 400 sq ft. Didn't want to run the Central AC unit for the 2,200 sq ft house just for one room at night, so made sense to purchase this unit. Good: + Cools the room fast! + Looks great + Doesn't need to have the water emptied so often. Maybe once or twice during a hot season. + Easy to install and set up. + Not as noisy as I thought. The fan is quiet and when the compressor kicks in you turns up the decibels, but doesn't bother me. Sounds like the AC units in the Las Vegas rooms. +Exhaust hose and components seem to do a great job of not letting heat back into the house. Make sure the space between the unit and your window is fairly short. What can be improved: - Bright blue display lights will illuminate your entire room. I have to cover it with a magazine at night to keep it dark. - The weather strips and seals that come with it are cheap and tear easily. Make sure you get them on right the first time. Otherwise, prepare a trip to your local hardware store. - The 3 piece section that is put into your window isn't even and gives for small spaces which allow hot air to enter. Easily solved by using some duct tape to seal it. PS 1. Remember to let it stand for 24 hours before operating. PS 2. This unit pulls 10.8 amps. Make sure that the AC plug you are using doesn't strain your fuse box and cause it to trip. I used it where there were other lights, TVs and a Playstation running and it tripped my fuse box that was rated for 15 amps.
