Plastic giant fan Not air conditioner
Is this a plastic toy air conditioner? I thought we are living in the Golden Era where everything is going to be better than ever, every appliance I have bought in the past year is garbage. This is nothing more than a box fan on it's highest cool setting. Literally plastic garbage shaped like an air conditioner.

The air conditioning didn’t cool my small room. I had it at 64 degrees cool and for whatever reason it would switch to fan on its own. Very disappointed.

Does not get as cold as my old one

We'd like to assist with your window a/c unit's cooling performance. There are many factors that affect the cooling performance of your a/c unit. This model is designed for room sizes 150 - 250 sq ft. If your rooms size is larger than this, then the cooling performance would not be as effective. Also, to prevent airflow restrictions make sure that there are no curtains, blinds, or furniture blocking the front of the unit.

Perfect small air conditioner!
The small air conditioner works well and was easy to install. The airflow is good and we’ve only had to use the low cooling as it is very efficient and low noise level ! Great buy for a small room air conditioner!

Dependable ac for life
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The most reliable and probably will outlast any other ac out there. It does its job of cooling any small space. Energy efficient so I can have this on all day and maybe even at night because it’s quiet enough.

A Have Flexible Cooler That Any Household Should H
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an ideal choice for anyone in need of a flexible cooling solution. It's user-friendly, requires no complicated installation, and provides targeted cooling for specific areas or zones. This product is particularly well-suited for the following groups: - Students, temporary renters, and residents of apartments or condominiums (like my family): it requires no wall drilling or complex installation, and is easy to transport when moving to a new residence - Small shops, kiosks, and temporary offices: given the small and non-permanent nature of these business spaces, investing in a wall-mounted air conditioner would be both costly and unnecessary.

Stay cool with this unit.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This air conditioner works very well, it wasn’t too heavy and it is perfect for the room. It has a very nice and long power cord so you can reach outlets that are further from the window. I love the smell that comes out from this unit, reminds me of one we had when I was a kid. The airflow is very steady and it works as it should. I live that is a 5,000 btu so it will consume less energy than others rated at higher btu output.

Everything it is advertised to be
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unit work well in a room of 150sf or smaller under normal conditions. Once it got hot and humid around 90+ degrees, this unit will struggle, fortunately my house is well insulated so it worked out, just took longer. I was hoping it would be noisy but it is louder than I expected. The install was super simple, the hard part would be lifting and holding the machine as a small person. I added wooden pieces to lock my window in place for security since most window AC units will compromise home safety.

Wonderful breeze
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a must- have for the summer . Folks, now is your time! This mechanical window air conditioner is so breezy and cool snd I cannot emphasize it enough how wonderful this is to have . It is so incredibly easy to install for your home. The pieces are not difficult to assemble at all. It’s also not that loud if you are concerned about noise levels. It honestly makes a good ambiance/white noise. Some other important things to note is that the window air conditioner comes at a really good price compared to other brands. This is truly a product I recommend all my relatives and friends as well. Please do yourself a favor and at least try it once! You’ll love it!

Easy installation, good for very small room
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love window air conditioners. I really like to sit in front of it and feel the cold air come out of it when it's extremely hot. This unit is for a very small room. It works well but doesn't cool down the whole room very well. Installation is easy for a standard window. I don't find the air flow too good in this unit but it is better than not having one. It's just been extremely hot therefore testing this air conditioner is very challenging.

Perfect for summer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The size is perfect. I have horrible ventilation in my room so this definitely came in time because it’s starting to get hot. It’s not loud. It keeps my room fresh and I sleep like a baby.

Very cold and super easy to install
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Actually, it's really easy to install, as someone who never installed one before in my life. Living in SoCal, it can get hot here and there in the summer, but not unbearable. However, there are rays where I wish a bit of a/c could cool us down at night. This size was perfect for our bathroom window and only needed one side panel. Installed it in our bedroom's bathroom and hope it cools our bedroom. We turned it on for an hour and immediately could feel how cold it was. Ease if installation: very easy, no prior experience needed. Coldness: very cold and up to 250 sqft. Between our bathroom and bedroom, it's about 250 sqft. Noise: Not too loud, like a low humming sound. It's definitely better than some of the ones i heard. It has been running, but we do turn it off and only turn it on at least once a week to make sure it continues to work. 10/10!
