Keep cool with this portable air conditioner that features electronic controls and a remote for easy use. The 425 sq. ft. cooling capacity keeps a medium-size room comfortable.
Not that portable: Besides being too heavy, the exhaust hose was too short (5 ft max extended). It doesn't quite lock itself to the windows mount either, and it keeps popping out if I move the unit just a little bit. I can also feel heat radiating from that flimsy hose, and the connector on both ends are not completely airtight as well. So even though the unit does cool, it's more like just the 10'x10' space in front of it.
Saw other reviews about water leaking from the unit, but I haven't had that problem yet. However, I did notice the drain "cap" is only 1/4" deep. And I emphasized "cap" because that piece of rubber is unfortunately shaped more like a 1/2" plug and does fit into the drain hole as well. So, if you aren't paying attention, you could have not capped it properly and it could come lose easily when you move it.
But the worst thing is the noise. I measured it at 65-82 depending on the fan speed and whether the compressor is on -- It sounds like what you'll hear from a Windows unit *outside*, but likely feels noisier since you'll be inside with the Windows closed. I give it 2 stars because it still cools better than just a fan. But if I had known, I'd have got myself a Windows unit instead.
