Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the cooling power of the 500 Sq. Ft. Portable Air Conditioner, with many stating that it effectively cools their entire apartment or room. Installation is generally considered simple and quick, and the dual hose design is said to enhance its efficiency. On the downside, some customers find the unit to be noisy, heavy, and larger than expected. There are also concerns about its durability, with a few users reporting issues within a couple of years of use.

    These are great air conditioners. Got several of them for my tenants during the heat wave. All of them said they made a big difference in keeping the rooms cool.

    This air conditioner cools spaces much larger than I thought it could handle. I even used some fans to "move" the cool air to the other end of the house, and it worked great! It's also a lot quieter than a less expensive brand that I had before. EXTRA POINTS for the dual vents. I hate emptying water and this doesn't need it.

    Powerful, efficient AC. Better than expected.

    Excellent portable AC. Using it in So. Cal when temps reach 95 or higher. Using it in a room much larger than recommended yet it still cools the room enough to make it pleasant. I use it with additional fans to help circulate the cool air. When used in this large room, it won't get down to the temperature set on the AC, but cools the room enough to be comfortable. Noise level is not a problem. Not as loud as expected from reading other reviews.

    I have been using this unit to cool an area of around 650 Sq Ft and it works great. It is very simple to install. The noise is equivalent to a large stand up fan, not too bad. Overall a good buy.

    This ac cools off the house enough so you're not sweating. It does what it needs to do. The bes ac's are window air conditioners because they really freeze the house just how i like it.

    This unit is great. The air emitted is icy cold and it cools my room perfectly. The included exhaust hose was easy to attach and the window assembly was effective. The unit is louder than a fan but I am able to sleep without being disturbed. Most of all it cools the room easily (400 sq feet). I live in the desert and it is very hot 110f - 115f so far.

    Unit was easy to install. We ran this through an outside wall. We did place a deflection plate between intake and exhaust as the intake will pull exhaust in. So far so good.

    Such a life saver on my electric bill. This thing cranks out some serious cold air and I couldn’t be happier. It took long enough to find one and tons of research to find this one. I highly recommend!
