5.0 out of 5 stars Good buy and easy to self install. Worth it
Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2024
I was nervous but this was VERY easy to install myself AND I didn’t need extra supplies. From the review online it was unclear if I needed an additional hose but I did not. Everything needed was in the box and it was ready to go. The instructions are inside the hose and no additional hose is needed. Installing in the window with the adjusting window attachment took some time to ensure security in my window but the attachment supplied worked well I just needed to seat it in my window properly.

It is larger than expected but I also didn’t realize that it was a fan and dehumidifier as well so it’s an added benefit for the money to me. Instructions are clear and so far so good. As soon as it got here I installed and it’s going great so far. It’s been on for 30 minutes and the room is cooler. So far no leaks and it arrived fully assembled and ready to go. Remote control had batteries and we aren’t anticipating having to move it but are glad it’s portable. So far so good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice quiet little A/C unit!
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2024
I love this combo A/C, humidifier & fan from SereneLife! Looks nice, easy to set-up & works great! I set it up in my kitchen, under my window, out of site, out of mind. Keeping me nice and cool!

4.0 out of 5 stars Cools fairly large rooms, efficient, easy set up, some flaws
Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2023
Nice portable A/C unit. Definitely has advantages over a window-AC unit primarily because these portables won't damage the window frame or windowsill. Has castor wheels so very easy to move around.

There's only a couple of negatives about the unit...

The window mount doesn't lock very well into the window frame. A locking mechanism that applies some pressure inside the window frame would've solved this issue. I have a fairly standard sized window and had to use a circular saw on the adjustable piece because it would've been too wide for my window otherwise. The other minor gripe is the thermostat...it often reads the outdoor temperature rather than the indoor temp when it's not running. It may be cool outside but if the room is warm, the thermostat may not pick up on that fact until it runs for awhile. Then it seems to kick on and off and adjust itself accordingly after 10-20 minutes. The company probably realized this when they designed/tested the unit. It's just odd that the temperature probe wasn't mounted somewhere that would've given a more accurate indoor temp reading. Minor issue overall.

The unit has a powerful fan and does cool off a large room fairly quickly. I have it running in a room that is about 500 sq. ft., on the second floor of my house, and it cools the room within minutes. It's somewhat noisy but not enough to keep most up at night. It's white noise and most might find it beneficial rather than a nuisance. Allergy sufferers should benefit from these as they also filter the air. Great A/C, the portability is its main advantage over a window A/C unit. My home has central A/C but there's no need to use the extra energy to cool the entire house overnight when the wife and I are only in one room of the house. Helps cut down on the central A/C use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cold AC for a small room
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2022
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.
