Whynter - Eco-friendly 8000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner - White

It keeps my room chilled at a comfortable 68 degrees. Great for a small room. Not sure if its strong enough to cool a large area though.

It doesn't blow in all directions, it would be better with directional venting, but it gets cold quicker, and I love the timer functionality.

This unit does the job well. Don't expect it to cool the entire house (my first floor is about 1600 sq. ft.) but it does a fine job in a room where the sun beats down in the summer months. Room is about 350 sq. ft. and cool air trickles down a bit more beyond that. Extra features are a plus (timer, remote, cool, fan only, temp, etc.) Only con is that you still have to have a place for the water to drain. Either get a bucket that you have to empty out or have it drain elsewhere. Other than that unit is great!

This was simple to set up and begin using. It was quick to take the hot edge off our upstairs bedroom, which gets hot during warmer days in NC. When we use central air, the downstairs is icy while upstairs is still stuffy. Hopefully this unit will help us cool the upstairs without having an arctic first floor.

Cools down my small bedroom quicker than I expected. Is a little loud & have to turn up TV. Don't like the fact that the "blades" do not adjust side to side, only up & down - so I have to completely turn the AC in the direction I want the air to go. Hose is 4', but not too long, so needed to rearrange my bedroom furniture. However, keeps me cool at night (I work during the day). I leave it off while I am at work & turn it on when I get home. Takes like 1 hr to cool down the room.

I purchased this Air Conditioner 4 years ago and I use it every summer during the very hot months. If used in a smaller room it works very well and quickly, to cool down the room. I use it in a small bedroom but I do not think it would be very efficient in a larger room like a living room. But overall, for the convenience and size and efficiency, this is a good product that will "save" you during the hot weather.

I use this portable air conditioner for the room that is close about 450 sq ft and it is able to cool the room from 90 F to 78 F in two hours. I have to use the high fan setting and it produces loud noise. After two hours, I change the fan setting to low and the noise level is ok. I consider this unit an excellent air conditioner since it is able to cool the medium room temperature down. I was going to buy a bigger unit with 12,000 BTU, but that thing will be too heavy to lift up to the second floor so this smaller unit is not heavy to lift up or move around. For me, it was not very easy to set up the air duct (took about 30 minutes), but once I figured out the right postion and set it up, it is good.

I was using this to cool a medium sized bedroom and honestly is kind of struggled. I thought 800 BTU would be more than enough but it only cooled about half the room and I would have to turn it at a weird angle because the air came out on one side only instead of straight forward. It is also loud.

I purchased the AC unit for my bedroom. The unit itself was a great size for my bedroom but it was a little loud and it really didn't cool the room as I expected it to.
