Air Conditioning Unit, 4-In-1 Powerful Portable Air Conditioner, Dehumidifier, Ventilation, Cooling Fan with Digital Display, 2 Fan Speeds, 24 Hour Timer & Window Venting Kit for Rooms Up to 259ft

So, it’s getting to that time of year again when the heat is starting to creep up - and this time I decided to get ahead of the game and get myself a portable AC for a change. I have a mounted AC in the bedroom but the guest room which is being re-done in a month needs some cooling system, hence my purchase.Arrived pretty quickly, always great to have quick & free delivery for Prime members. But it is pretty big, comes up to about waist level and its 24kg - I managed on my own but might be worth having someone there just in case.It is very well packed and protected.Inside you have the remote control, window kit, and manual.Boldly written on the carton is a warning that you need to leave the unit to stand for at least 6hrs after being delivered due to it having gas that might have been moved around during delivery - which I did. The unit itself is obviously plastic but very sturdy - you can tell there is nothing cheap about this. It's really well made. Impressed.To switch it on you simply plug it into the socket and press the button, and presto - its on. (Obviously remember to follow the instructions and attach the hose at the back first )Now there are 3 settings - AC, Fan & Humidifier. I have only tested the AC part till now, and must say its pretty powerful - even matching my mounted AC. Within 20 minutes I had to put on another layer of clothing. Not extremely noisy either.Pros1. Portable (with tires)2. Chills the room pretty quickly3. Remote controlled4. Could be used as humidifier & fan5. Looks great in any room.Cons (If you can even call it a con)1. The water hose attachments work for sliding windows or sash windows, not casement windows. Lucky for me I am getting a new window for the guest room so will switch to a sash window so the window kit can fit perfectly.2. It is not as quiet as my wall mounted AC - but then again it did not disturb me watching a movie, or having a nap.VerdictNo regrets whatsoever - for a fraction of the price I get to chill my room as good as a wall mounted AC. And the knowledge that I have a humidifier as well - cannot fault it.Pretty unit too - looks so posh.

With temperatures on the rise again and last summer being hotter than ever we've gone for an AC unit rather than relying on fans this year and what a good investment this will prove to be. Firstly it's on wheels so moving it around is made considerably easier due to the 4 corner casters as well as having side handles to hold. It weighs around 25kg so is moveable but you may like to do it as a pair if you're carrying up/down stairs.The air conditioning unit offers the option of cooling, fan and dehumidifying. We've used the cooling function mainly at the moment but have tried dehumidifying which resulted in a good collection of water.The handy window kit allows you to vent the hot air from the rear of the unit safely out the window and seems to work reasonably well; I think we'll end up getting some kind of foam board to fit our unusual shaped window. The fan speed options are good although I think some may find the noise level a little high if you were using it to sleep overnight; that said we've tried it in the 3-4 hours before bed and it keeps the room nice and cool like when you're abroad on holiday. The fan settings are really good and the highest one really moves the air around nicely. using the louvered front blades you can direct the airflow as you wish, the lever inside to move the flow from left to right is reasonably good but a little tricky to initially find.The remote and buttons are good and whilst they take a little while to respond are absolutely easy enough to use for anyone especially if read in conjunction initially with the instruction manual. The air filters at the back easily clip on and off for cleaning.For ease of use, nice design and functionality we're delighted with this unit and definitely would recommend it to others. It is an investment but it'll do a considerably better job this summer than a fan could. Here's to hot weather!!

We are using the air con unit to cool the bedroom down for sleeping and while it definitely cool's the bedroom down it does giveout a rather loud white noise which is a bit too loud for me to fall asleep with and stay asleep. My partner is ok with it so we are switching on the machine an hour or so before bed and then trying to turn it off when we sleep or leave it set up on the timer to turn itself off. The other thing I noticed when unpacking and setting up the unit is the "window kit" mentioned in the description is just 2 pieces of plastic that will seal a sliding horizontal window and there is no mention of needing a proper window kit for windows that open using hinges so we have needed to order one of those too to stop bugs etc from getting in through the open window. Once that has been set up aswell I can see the air con unit being quite useful as the window kit does completely seal the opening from bugs and rain etc. All in all its not perfect but a workable alternative to hot, sleepness, stuffy nights once you have messed with a bit around a bit and got both items.
