Small Air Conditioner Portable 12,000 BTU with Built-in Dehumidifier - Portable AC Unit for Rooms up to 550 sq ft - Remote Control, Window Mount Exhaust Kit

I purchased this during the winter months and waited until summer came to write a true review. This unit is great! I use it to lower the temperature of my room, the hallway and my child's room across the hall. If I close the door, the room will definitely get chilly. I leave it open so the cool air can help keep the upstairs in general cool though. The upstairs of my apartment is insufferable during summer, the sun also shines directly into my room through cheap blinds I haven't replaced haha. That greatly increases the temperature as well. All in all, great little unit and not obnoxiously loud either. It keeps the whole upstairs very tolerable for the bathroom, my baby's room, and my room

I got this AC unit to keep my garage a little more comfortable during the Texas summer. We haven't hit the extreme temps yet, but so far so good! It does what I wanted-- my garage is no longer an oven and I can actually get things done in there. I imagine in a better insulated environment it has no problem cooling a room to a genuinely cool temperature. I'm not too concerned about the noise level in my garage, but I'd say it's a reasonable level that most people would have no problem with, even in a bedroom while sleeping. It came with everything needed for setting it up, and I was up and running in under 15 minutes. The remote is handy and functional, and it's easy to move around if you need to (handles and wheels). Really happy with the A/C function and looking forward to seeing what the heater can do in the winter!

I live in a 750 sq ft apartment, and already had a small 6200 BTU window-unit installed in my master bedroom. However, when temps reach above 75 it can't cool the rest of the apartment effectively by itself. Due to the size of the windows in the rest of my apartment, getting an additional window-unit was out of the question. This 12000 BTU portable unit is exactly what I needed. The unit is extremely/surprisingly quiet (see attached video) even at high speeds. In combination with the window-unit, leaving the portable at low speed is plenty to cool the rest of the apartment. I haven't tried the dehumidifying option yet, so can't speak to any water issues others might have encountered. The only criticisms I have are that, while there is a temperature setting on my model it doesn't have an auto shut-off once that temperature is reached (like in-home central AC). Also, the couplet attached to the exhaust hose is/was very loosely connected (the hose actually detached the first time I connected it to the unit). However, this isn't a big issue since the hose screws back into the couplet, and I used some weather tape (gaffers or duct tape would work as well) to keep it all secure. Finally, if you have odd sized windows (that make installing a window-unit a challenge) a portable unit like this may be just what you need. I was able to rig up the exhaust hose to my glass block windows (they have a screened pop-out window to the outside) using a combination of weather tape and plastic sheeting. It works perfectly, and the hose is rigid enough to stay in place. I'm only a week into using the unit, but I couldn't be happier with this purchase. I may buy a second one next summer and ditch the hassle that comes with installing my window-unit completely. Very highly recommended!

12,000 BTU Unit - This is the 3rd floor model air conditioner I’ve purchased and I love it. The packaging was very sturdy. Heavy cardboard box, thick styrofoam padding and nylon straps outside the box protected the unit which was delivered in perfect condition. Unpacking was a breeze. One of the things I love about this unit is the exhaust hose is a heavy, more rigid plastic material that easily snaps into the unit. Other units like this came with flimsy exhaust hoses that needed to be stretched over the exhaust port. I always ended up buying heavier hoses and attaching them with large steel “worm” clamps. Not necessary with the SereneLife unit. The window insert is not as tall as others so it allows more visibility out the window but because of the size and characteristics of my window I had to raise it with a 1” board cut to fit the sill. I also had to trim about 4” from the slide out part for it to fit in my sill. Not a big deal. Took me a minute with my table saw but could easily be done with a hand saw. On a positive note, if you have a very wide window this will fit with no extra work. Also there is a tab to lock the slide expander j to place. I’ve never seen this on previous units. A convenient feature. Now to the important stuff - cooling the house… The unit easily cools my L-shaped living / dining room area as well as the attached kitchen. That’s about 1000 sq ft.. I do have 2 ceiling fans running at slow speed to help circulate the cool air. It is MUCH quieter than previous units I’ve owned. There is a feature that allows the cool air directors to slowly oscillate up and down. I don’t use it but you may find it beneficial. It has a sleek appearance that is aesthetically pleasing. The price was very reasonable for such a powerful, effective air conditioner. Now I’ll mention a few negative issues… 1. There is no screen to cover the outside end of the exhaust port. Depending on where your window is critters and debris can easily find its way into the hose. I’m going to make a screen cover for it. 2. The remote is pretty flimsy and there is no display. My other units had remotes that displayed the same info that is in the unit display. Also the lettering of the functions of the remote buttons is really tiny. 3. As stated, the window unit is very low profile and very wide. Depending on the design of your window you may have to raise the window insert and/or trim the width of the slide expander. All easy things to do but know that it’s possible. All and all I’m very pleased.

So, I bought the 12,000 unit, and just placed an order for a 2nd. I feel the first few uses, it got the bedroom very cool, the lowest setting is 60 degrees. Now, it's only "cooling" the bedroom, and not as icy as it once was. Hmm. I'm not sure, so I just ordered another and do not want to waste such a huge amount of money (the other is for the extra bedroom or dining room area). I tested this in our bedroom (ours is smallish, works well), then the small dining room and it worked well with our ceiling fan to cool kitchen/dining off and feel some blowing into living room as well. I tried it by the front door/living room, our living room is huge, so I didn't notice a huge cooling difference, I would think that the living room would need 2. The good: -Very Portable, I can just wheel room to room (has deep handles) so easily! -Set up, was EASY, simple and quick (even getting out of the box). -At first works amazing -I haven't experienced any leaking, but I don't turn it on "dry", I turn it on "cooling". -The hose is LONG -Window piece was easy to fit and put in, quickly and works pretty good, with minimal gaps. -comes with hose/window kit -Casters/roll super easy -feels sturdy -Cools to 60 degrees (other ones we bought go down to 65 degrees only). -It tells you how "warm" or the temp of room at current (when turned off) -remote control is great. It has 3 different fan speeds, swinging of the fan blades, and you can set cooling level, also dehumidifies (I have not used this yet!) or you can use as just a fan. -You can keep in window at all times with a dowel, or it comes out easily if you need to close window (absolutely 100x easier than a window unit in my opinion). Is it cooler than a window unit? Jury's out. -Energy saver, so hasn't blown any circuits or fuses (I'll update when I get my power bill). The Bad: -The "swing" feature on mine where the flaps rotate the air (you can turn off) SQUEAK LOUDLY, annoying and so I turn it "off". -It is LOUD like a loud fan -It is big, like bigger than a night stand, like half size of a dresser -Jury is out on if it cools well enough after first couple weeks??? -The BIG problem is the back where the hose attaches, no matter what I do HEAT ESCAPES, the hose is warm/hot, and the heat ALSO escapes at the end by the window. I will need to buy pipe insulation and tape it on I think to remedy it. The hose is long and great, but it's cheap and may rip easily, And why does heat escape out the back no matter what, it's ANNOYING. And that heats up the room, if I could solve this issue (I'll update when I try thermal wrap), and see if it helps. Putting a screen in the window keeps bugs out, but I feel the screen "out" of the window makes the heat go out better/cooling room off better/but small bugs can get in. -The window piece is flimsy but fits in my bedroom window it does not however fit in my small dining room windows, I wish the size was more VERSITIALE. The piece that hooks to the window part falls off a lot/heat escapes. -Wish/needs to come with thermal wrap for hose. -They REALLY need to have added a "screen" on the end of the hose for hanging out windows, without window screens, otherwise bugs could just crawl right up it. Update: 1 doesn't work. I only used a few months last summer. Tried cleaning filters, turning on and off, it's huge and bow I got to dump it. Waste of over 400$ when I've had window units last 8 years or more. I tried everything and it only blows fan room temperature air no air condoned air.

Absolutely amazing. I have a rather large bedroom and this works perfect. I love sleeping cold and the noise level is perfect for me. I actually prefer the noise as it helps me sleep better. Super easy to install. Super easy to move around with the wheels on the bottom. Would definitely recommend.

I bought this little dandy because our primary system is not working right and we needed something to cool a large bedroom at night while the AC repairman is waiting for parts to come in. This SereneLife 12.5 portable unit has been running continuously for five days and nights now and is doing a great job. I was concerned about the hassle of draining condensation but that has not been necessary so far - and it has been more humid than normal here lately. The instruction booklet says that in cool mode there is some kind of self-evaporation system and I guess there must be because after it had run a couple of days I did remove the drain plug just to check and only a few ounces of water came out, so I quit worrying about that. Noise is going to be subjective and I was concerned about that too, but for no need. We've been pleasantly surprised and don't find it to be very loud at all and most of the sound it does make is white noise, which has actually helped our sleep. It's much quieter than any window unit I've ever been around. I really like the design of the window vent kit, but did have to shorten the smaller sliding section by a few inches as others have also mentioned. With a circular saw using a plywood/laminate blade it was smooth and easy, but a simple miter box and hacksaw should do the job too, just anything to help make a smooth/straight/square cut. Last but certainly not least, it's blowing some mighty cold air and I plan to keep this thing handy even after the primary ac system is fixed. It was among the most competitively priced options when I bought it and well worth the coin. Just my own opinions and experience here, yours may differ. Good luck!

I spent months reading reviews on portable ACs before finally hitting the purchase button. This unit was neck and neck with another unit. There is NO unit out there with five-star reviews so it just came down to what I thought was the best and paying attention to consistencies in other reviews. The unit arrived safe and sound and was extremely easy to install. Almost too easy. I do recommend getting window strips to help seal around where the hose goes out the window. My apartment is pretty small - 630 sq. ft. and becomes a SAUNA due to poor insulation and no protection from the sun. When it is 70 outside, it's 85 inside. I've been wanting to get something to help cool it down, especially after a Summer with a few 90-degree days that had it 100 inside. Another helpful piece of info is that I'm in the pacific northwest. We don't get the prolonged heat waves that other areas of the country do. We have moderate humidity (sometimes severe) and lately, we've been having some week-long or longer heat waves. Normal Summers are just a few days of heat and then we get a cool off. We've had a few 80 degree days here already so I was excited to put this unit to the test and I have been pleasantly pleased! I can feel the cool air right away when I turn it on and while it doesn't get my apartment down below 80, it feels GREAT! I can actually sit comfortably and not feel like I'm sweating just blinking my eyes. The trick is to get it turned on right away in the morning while my apartment is still cool. I have a ceiling fan in the same room which really helps circulate the cool air. I put a fan in the doorway of my bedroom to pull the cool air into it as well and it totally works. So thankful for this unit! My heat box has now turned into a comfortable apartment. A couple of other things to note: Some of the reviews mentioned the water drainage and how it was a lot. I have not noticed that at all with mine but I'm pretty sure this is related to the humidity. That would be something to consider for you. Since I don't live in a place with ridiculous humidity 24/7 the water drainage has been very minimal. Another thing I seemed to recall reading about was the noise level. Honestly, I have NEVER lived somewhere with a quiet AC unit. Unless it's central air, those units are noisy! This unit startled me a couple of times when it would come on but now that I recognize the sound it doesn't bother me at all. As far as electricity - It has not done anything significant to my electric bill. Of course, I don't leave it running 24/7. And, thankfully, as mentioned before, the heat waves around here aren't too prolonged. All in all, I am very pleased with this purchase and would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a portable AC unit or at least some type of AC that is more affordable than the alternative.

tres fiable et rafraichit très bien et moin d'ouvrage pour ramasser l'eau

It doesn't take any time at all for A/C cooling or dry mode to kick in and immediately cools down the room. It's only the end of spring in Canada but I wanted to get one before the prices skyrocketed, so I've only played with the functions. Mostly I have it on the fan mode but am using the dehumidifier more often and it works very well. Our previous one was only 8,000 BTUs (This one is 10,000) and we had to make shift fans all over the apartment to circulate enough air to reach the bedroom. (It sucked.) I'm more than confident that we won't need to do that anymore. The power behind this unit is kicka** and it doesn't fool around. You say "Cold" and it says "No problem!" I like it. I'm happy with it. I did need to adapt the window thingie because we are using it in the patio door, but I was expecting that. For a window, I think it would be fine. It was on the lower side of the average price going right now and for all of the ones I examined on here I settled on this one because it kept coming up in the results that I was put in for the different searches describing what I was looking for, what I needed. I figured "Why not? It's got everything needed and is reasonable for what the competition offers." I'm not disappointed at all.

Este producto ha estado trabajando optimamente. La instalacion fue rapida. No necesite de servicios externos. No fue dificil, la caja traia todo lo necesario. Entro en operacion inmediatamente, funcionando muy bien. Lleva algunas semanas en operacion constante y hasta el momento opera al 100%. Solo observar muy bien la ventana donde se colocara el tubo de expulsion del aire caliente que es realmente muy caliente y fuerte, de tal manera que se adapte bien para que quepa y ajuste correctamente con el panel que trae la caja, ya que el tubo tiene correctamente cierto flexibilidad que realmente permite cierto movimiento del enfriador, lo cual es positivo para poder dirigir el aire frio a donde estemos sentados. En conclusion, totalmente recomendable.

El producto cumple completamente con su función, enfría súper rápido y la instalación es muy sencilla.

Not sure what is the reason that still in 2025 most of ACs are not wifi enabled. But with this unit thanks to the wifi function i dont ever need to worry about carrying or losing the remote anymore. Put this aside the unit design is super compact and slik but it cools the room in minutes, its quiet and the screen if front helps checking the status. Please keep in mind this AC is not powerfull enough to cool down your entire apartment. My room is 250sqft and works perfectly fine for this size.
