Not as enthusiastic as others
By Greg Dempsey
I can't say I've had as good an experience as others reported here...the main problem I've discovered is that the compressor only cycles on for about seven minutes at a time, followed by fifteen minutes during which the machine simply operates as a fan and blows in hot air from outside. Company info on their web site indicates that this is being done to prevent the compressor from overheating--unfortunately, this results in the compressor remaining cool while my small studio apartment (only 200 sq feet) remains too hot. I don't know if other units have similar limitations, but I would hesitate to recommend this product on the basis of my own experience. Hope this is helpful to anyone looking to make a buying decision...

A nice relief from a hot summer
By breezy
Overall I am very satisfied with this portable air conditioner.The Good:-Shipping was extremely fast (2 days for standard shipping).-Installation was a breeze.-The air that comes out is actually cold, and powerful. The fan produces a terrific draft of cool air.-It cools the room quickly.-The evaporative draining system is great... no emptying buckets of water constantly!The Bad:-It does make some noise (no more than a normal window air conditioner would). But I would say the relief from a hot, humid day is well worth the buzzing noise.-The exhaust hose was larger than I expected. Which means if you don't place the air conditioner strategically, it can be a huge eye sore in the room.However, it does do its job well and I would recommend this unit to anyone needing to cool a room/dorm/small apartment. Enjoy!

By Jason C. Lengstorf
I purchased this unit out of desperation in the midst of a heat-wave. I read a lot of reviews and settled on this guy, and I'm not disappointed. My living room isn't huge (approx. 12'x16'), but it cools it down effectively.The Pros:- My girlfriend loves the remote. You can change the mode, target temperature, fan speed, and turn it on and off without moving off the couch.- I like that it shows you the temperature. I also like that it automatically kicks the compressor on and off as needed.- No buckets to empty.The Cons:- When the other reviews talk about the exhaust tube being big, they're lying. It's FREAKIN' HUGE. Think dryer hose.- There's no way (that I've found, at least) to set it to turn off when it hits the target temperature. I still panic over high energy bills, so it's scary to leave it running all the time. I'd like it a lot more if it would not only kill the compressor, but shut down the whole unit when the room becomes cool enough.- It's fairly noisy. I don't have a lot of experience with air conditioners, but it's louder than the few units I've been around before. It's not terrible, though, so this is only a half-con. More of a concern, I guess.- It's not an Energy Star appliance. That was my biggest hesitation point before I ultimately bought this unit.Overall, I'm pretty happy with my purchase. I might come back and change my tune after I've seen a couple months of energy bills, but last month's only went up marginally. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
