Purchased: August 2022 - still works GREAT! kzbin.infoUgkxxsUnXhGsSJLim_XnMHyQK0u3XVaW-CGn I live in a studio and during the summer it gets scorching hot - really old building with no ac units. I can’t express how EASY it was to install.This unit has been a life savior during the summer and some days during other seasons where it can still be a bit warm at night. In this small place is my friend, a husky, poodle mix and myself. We need AC - lolI don’t use the dehumidifier option - I’m not sure if it will leak in my house, since I did not install the small draining hose that came with it. May look into it late but I don’t worry about much humidity in the apartment.I don’t understand why the negative reviews since all things mentioned, I personally did not find issues with. Definitely worth it!

If the water becomes to much I recommend a condensate pump, all you do is plug it in route the hose thru the window or whatever you want and point the ac drain into it and boom it’s ready to go I use one it’s amazing.

IMPORTANT: You are not suppose to drain the unit till after the season. If I dont have to in Florida of all places. You dont have to. It vents it as a mist and also uses it to cool the condenser. So draining the unit can cause it to overheat since it doesnt have that water to cool the condenser

its "Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER)" is 10. It consumes ~ 1200 watts continuously when cooling. @ $0.15 per KWH, it would cost $2.15 every 12 hours when cooling. Most manufacturers are hiding this info ( even in the manual/sticker on the back/spec sheet). Most retailers are not showing it too.

There is only one window panel only has one hole to fit the larger exhaust . If I use the smaller hose only that leaves a lager open area of the larger hose .

For that to be a true AIR CONDITIONER, it needs a compressor, heat exchanger, condensor, and some sort of refrigerant gas. I didn't see any of those detailed in the video. I have seen other devices that the manufacturer calls an "air conditioner" but those only blow air across a water-filled grid....much more of a humidifier than an air conditioner. I would have liked to see a temperature reading of the input air and a temperature reading of the air coming out.
