I have bought 2 of these units. They are easy to set up. Quiet and really puts out the cold air. I did have an issue, but customer service was awesome. They quickly responded and resolved the issue. They have a top notch customer service. I would not hesitate to order this unit. I highly recommend. Great value for the money. Read more
Works amazing! The Price i would say is a bit much but it works well. It seems to be pretty durable, It looks great though i wish I was black. The Size is a bit larger then I expected but it moves a ton of air! Read more
Felt good and cooled my room. Period. But, It was pretty loud. And leaking a lot. Ruined my rug and it smells mildewy. I’ve only had it for like a week. The hose is foolish and can’t really drain anywhere. Don’t want it. The instructions literally say it shouldn’t even need to be emptied unless it’s super humid. Read more
If you’re in need of an AC unit and don’t have a built-in system, this one is a great option for cooling down your rooms. It performs well and gets the job done. A quick tip: if you notice any leaking from the bottom, there’s a plug behind it that allows you to drain the water. Be sure to do this every 1-2 weeks, or more frequently if you’re using it often, to keep the unit running smoothly. Read more
I took a lot of this review from other Amazonian because I agree with all of it and it is worth repeating. "I did a ton of research trying to figure out if I even wanted a portable AC. I needed it for a room with west facing windows that gets blasted with direct sunlight the entire afternoon/early evening. Window units became very inefficient during really hot days and thought a portable solution would help. And it definitely has! But.... you need to know certain things in order to get the most out of this. Firstly, any review that mentions you don't need to worry about attaching a hose to drain excess water that builds up is 100% wrong. You MUST attach a hose for this for it to work properly. It'll turn on and work fine for short period of time until the water reservoir inside this fills up and causes it to shut off. If you're on the east coast with humid summers, this will fill up with water and will need to drain out in roughly 10-15 minutes after turning it on. I got lucky and just happened to have a hose from an old kitchen sink sprayer. It fit in there perfectly. The small holes on the plastic attachment that the exhaust hose attaches to that goes in your window can easily be widened using a scissor and slowly spinning/burrowing it to grind the hole big enough for the hose. Got my drainage hose through that hole and under the screen of my window to drain outside. Works perfectly. Secondly, the exhaust hose leaks out a bunch of heat from the hot air if fully expanded. If your plan is to get one of these and the exhaust hose just barely reaches the window there will be a noticeable amount of heat given off. The closer to the window the better and if you can find a safe way to prop it up off the ground so it's closer to the height of the window, I highly recommend that and it'll also make it easier to run the drain hose outside. I have mine setup to where the exhaust hose is barely expanded, which makes it thicker and allows less heat to escape, where the AC unit is roughly 15-20 inches from the window. I have these old wooden speaker stands I made that can easily support this AC unit and keeps it about 2 feet off the ground so the exhaust attachment on the back of the unit is even with the plastic attachment for the window. Ideally you want as straight of a line to the outside as possible for that hot exhaust air. And once you have the plastic attachment for the window installed, you'll wanna seal up any open cracks in between with tape. Last thing is using the Dehumidifier mode over regular AC mode. Mine didn't come with a manual so not sure if they both do the same thing but I always leave mine in Dehumidifier mode and works great that way. It blows out the same cold air and sucks all the moisture out of the air. Which if you live on the east coast, TRUST ME... You definitely want that. It's 94 degrees and miserable out today in Philadelphia and I'm perfectly comfortable. Look outside the window and the hose is just a continuous, fast drip. All that humidity ends up outside and makes it easier to keep the room comfortable. When I switch it to regular AC mode it doesn't seem as comfortable even though it blows out the same cold air. Not sure if it's just where I live and this room being on a 2nd floor but this works well for me in dehumidifier mode. Overall I'm happy with my purchase and this unit works well. It's a bit more noisy than I had hoped but all portable units are noisier than window units. It only makes sense when the whole thing being inside your room vs. most of it outside your window where sound will disperse away from your house. I see a lot of comments about how loud portable units are when these people don't seem to realize they're all like that. Even fancy, more expensive units will still be rather noisy. It's just how loud the fan is. So, beware of reviews by people who have limited knowledge on this sort of thing and just post their own narrowminded review of something like a portable AC unit, not understanding how it really works and what needs to happen to get the most out of one.

It’s definitely cold air coming out of it, the reason I’m giving it three stars is because 8000 BTU. Should’ve been enough to cool my 14 x 20 room, it’s basically a studio, but on hot days it did not do a good job and also it was a pain to set up with the window attachment, and I didn’t know that I was going to need a pan on the floor for water to leak out in case it needed to even though no water came out, I only used it for less than a week because my girlfriend got a larger unit , I would only recommend this unit if you have the right window and small space if you really want it to be feeling cold, which is what you should be feeling for the amount of power that it draws, it’s only 6.2 on the energy, saving guide According to the sticker on the box, so I haven’t gotten the bill for it yet, but I wish I had gotten a bigger unit, but I have nothing bad to say about it beyond that and it was unexpected that I would need to connect the hose into a plate in case Water needed to leak out — Which it did not, but it said to do it anyway in the instruction book Read more
I wasn't sure how big of a room this AC unit would cool, but it turned out to be perfect for keeping my room cool during the summer. I live with my father who has Parkinson’s Disease and is always cold, so we keep the house rather warm during the summer. It was almost impossible for me to sleep at night because of the heat and humidity. With temperatures in the high 90s during the day and lows only in the 80s, this A/C unit got a bit of a workout. With the door closed, I could keep my room in the mid-70s without the unit running constantly. I appreciate how fast it cools our bedroom down. It's not too loud and not too big. I really like everything about it so far. Read more
Workright out of the package. Set up was easy. When there was a problem at the beginning of the second summer, Denbig quickly responded with directions on what was needed to diagnose. They stand behind their product. I would buy another Denbig portable AC without hesitation. Read more
