Cold AC for a small room
Great unit, and mirroring what most of the other reviews said, this unit works great and cools down a 200 sq/ft room very fast and keeps it comfortable. Not so much that great in a 500-ish sq/ft area with vaulted ceilings, but you can definitely feel the difference after 20 minutes of it running.
There really aren’t any negatives to say about this, but I will say a few things that I’ve noticed and wish it could be different on the AC unit. It’s nothing that would prevent me from returning it, as it does what I need it to do. The fan on the high setting is a bit loud, especially when the unit is close to you but that’s expected. Also, there’s a fair amount of heat generated from the rear by the hose area – no hot air blowing, but if you put your hands back there you can definitely feel the heat radiating from the unit and the exhaust hose. I would recommend placing this closer to a wall or in the corner of a room.
The other thing is I wish this unit had adjustable power, or at least was more energy efficient and drew a lower wattage to save on electricity (and your electric bill). I use this AC unit on a Ecoflow Delta Pro with a 3.6 kWh battery, and it’ll run just shy of 3 hours on the Delta Pro, or 4.5 hours with a 400W solar panel connected at the same time. The AC unit consistently pulls 1000 watts of electricity in cooling mode, and it’s the same 1000 watts in either low or high mode, so we just leave it on high to cool the room faster. I’ve seen some 14,000 BTU window units only draw 500-600 watts or electricity, so it would’ve been nice is this unit was more energy efficient. I wish it didn’t draw as much power since we run this unit on a solar generator, as it’s much cheaper for me to charge the generator at night than it is to plug in the AC unit into the house wall outlet during the day. Still, it’s perfect on those summer afternoons when it gets hot in the house.
The last thing I would mention is the included window kit. It’s nice that the AC unit comes with an exhaust host and window kit to vent out the heat, but the window kit is limited in the adjustability. There’s only a few windows in my house where this included window kit will actually fit, otherwise it’s either too short or too long. I bought the Gulrear Portable Air Conditioner Sliding Door Vent Kit ($29 on Amazon) that has 4 sections and doesn’t taper the exhaust vent, so I can either put this on our 80″ tall patio door or on a much shorter window in my son’s room. I wouldn’t say the included window kit is worthless, as it still works and does its job. The hose will easily pop off the panel if you’re moving the unit around and the hose moves a little bit, but it’ll stay in place when you need it to.
Overall, this is a great unit for the price.

What an awesome 5 star high quality a/c/heater/dehumidifier.
I purchased this portable ac/heater/de-humidifier for my 15’X33’X10’ sunroom which has 7 sliding doors and is on the east side of my home. In the summer time heat it is so hot in here even with our central a/c as it is not large enough to cool this add on that we built a few years ago. I also purchased the optional sliding door vent mount and the 4 year extended warranty.
I have only had this set up a few days now, however they have all been days in the upper 80’s and I will say that there is absolutely nothing I can say derogatory about this unit. It Cools this entire 495 square ft room that has a 10’ ceiling ( which is 4,950 cubic feet of air space to cool) the ad for this a/c said it would heat and cool a room of 325 square ft (which in an average home would contain 2,600 cubic feet of air space). Therefore my expectations for this was not to be able to cool this room by itself considering that it has almost double the cubic feet that it’s rated for. However I will say that I am very pleasantly surprised & it is actually cooled it so well that i had to turn the thermostat up as it was cooling it so well it was actually to cold in my room without the house central unit even being on.
The next thing I was extremely pleased with is that it is so quiet that on high speed unless your right on top of it you can not really hear it running and on low speed across the room you can’t hear it running at all. I will say that my box fan is much louder. I had read other reviews that had said this unit was to loud and that if you put the sweep function on it made a loud clicking sound. Not mine you can not hear a thing when the sweep function is on.
This unit was extremely easy to set up it probably took less then 15 minutes to have it set up and running.
There was also a negative review done when they said that there was not a drain hose included with the a/c. Maybe that was on oversight on the one they had gotten because mine has a short piece of drain hose in the box. I hooked it up and have it draining into a bucket behind the a/c unit ( see picture.)
The final thing i would like to add is that it is a very attractive unit that appears to be of very high quality.
Needless to say I would highly, highly recommend this exact unit to anyone that has a heating or cooling problem such as I had. I very honestly can not find a single thing that I am unhappy with. I am very glad that I made this purchase. I forgot to mention the remote control is also very handy!

Lo que mas me gusto es su versatilidad para moverlo de un lugar a otro, facilidad para instalarlo y la capacidad de enfriamiento, ventilación y calefacción, que aun que no lo he probado aun, creo que tambien sera satisfactorio. Lo que mens me agrado es que si hace un poco mas de ruido que un ventilador y si eres alguien que acostumbra dormir sin ruido, puede ser un inconveniente. Por lo demás muy bien.

Es bueno en general y cubrió mis expectativas. Espero que el consumo de luz no sea tan significativo pero aún no lo sé. Si esperan algo que sea silencioso no es para ustedes. Yo ahora uso tapones en los oÃÂdos y puedo dormir bien.

The air conditioner is very powerful and cold. It’s easy to install. It’s a quiet AC compared to other big brand names. The price is very affordable. I am so happy and satisfied. I will continue to buy serene life.The AC doesn’t take too much space.

 La instalación fue muy fácil de hacer. Si refresca toda la casa de 1 solo piso. Es un poco ruidoso pero lo demás del A/C es de buena calidad. No requiere enchufe ni cable especial, no jala brutalmente la energÃÂa al encender, no hay sobrecalentamiento como en otros aparatos. Lo recomiendo totalmente.
