Why did you pick this product vs others?: Regardless of what Amazon's top-picks are, I've learned the hard way that appliances made by manufacturers I haven't heard of never last. There's a reason the prices are always lower than you'll find with established brands. I own another older Honeywell portable A/C than ran 24 hours a day for about six years (well beyond the expected life and operating envelope). It still works okay, just struggles with the hot summer temperatures more than it used to. Cooling ability: Excellent. Can keep a bedroom at around 62 degrees (F) while outdoor temperatures are hovering around 100. While not elaborated on in the literature, this product has two hoses. One is the traditional hot air exhaust, and the other an outdoor air inlet hose. This is apparently to prevent the negative room pressure you traditionally get with portable A/Cs, and it seems to work very well. Ease of installation: When installing on a wider window, you will ideally want a saw so you can size-down the included plastic window shield that the hoses connect to for ventilation, but you can carefully use a kitchen knife to achieve this if necessary. Functionality: My only complaint is that the minimum temperature is 61 instead of 60, like their older products could be set to. But I doubt it really matters. I live in a semi-arid climate where summer humidity averages about 50% overall throughout the day/night, and I have never had to manually drain the water reservoir. By contrast, every other portable A/C I've owned prior did require draining, so the evaporative disposal capacity is quite good. Read more

I've only had it for a few days...but so far I am very pleased! This unit cools down my space fabulously, is quieter than I anticipated, and I love the small size. Small but mighty! It's much easier to deal with and roll around than my previous old clunker of a portable AC. Oh and the price was more reasonable than the many other brands I obsessively perused and researched for weeks until I decided to choose this model. The delivery came quickly, the box even had instructions on the outside box top as to how to unpack it, and it was relatively easy to set up, even for the mechanically-challenged person that I am. I've only used the cooling and fan modes...I don't plan to use the dehumidifying mode since the summers where I live are quite dry. I'm told that this model automatically evaporates itself in the cooling mode, but there might still come a time I would have to drain it (ug). If so, it supposedly doesn't just leak (like many other product complaints I've read), the warning light comes on...so I'm taking a chance, I guess, by not putting a tray underneath. (Again, the climate where I live has dryer summers, so fingers crossed.) On another note, the Honeywell Air Comfort technical support humans actually answer the phone! Shocking and unheard of these days. I'm told this is a newer model, which might be why there are fewer reviews. Anyway, I'm very happy with this purchase! I only hope this AC lasts for years to come.

I bought it in May of last year (2023), and it worked great for the 3 1/2 months I used it. When the heatwave hit the west coast last week, I got it running, and it worked great for a two or three days, then started tripping the circuit breaker. After I reset it for a third time, I could smell melted plastic. I called the number for the extended warranty I bought. Thankfully, I got a full refund for the retail price, but not the tax or warranty. The refund comes by way of an Amazon credit by the way, no cash. And was told to just throw this unit away. All of this happened on the hottest day for us here in NW Washington state, with it reaching 101° that day. I quickly ordered a lesser unit + insurance, and still had to pay more out of pocket, and it won't be delivered for a week. I'm a disabled, senior, living on disability. It took me an entire year to save enough to buy this unit, only for it to die after 3 1/2 months. And then, the last thing... When I click on the unit I ordered from my orders page, it brings me to this page. However, the unit listed on this page is NOT the one I ordered. It looks very different. So, what's with that? It doesn't look like they even sell the exact unit I bought last year. Read more

After almost a week of using this product, I think I can safely say that this product is an excellent augmentation for any cooling needs you may need for your house. This air conditioner is highly efficient, looks robust, and can cool a large room in minutes. We bought this for our son’s room which is the farthest away from our ducts, and this was a life saver. We had bought other similar products from a big home improvement store but ended up returning them twice due to lack of efficiency or missing parts (not patient to wait for them to ship). This product was easy to install, it took literally 10 minutes to put everything together and get this to work. The instructions are easy to follow and there isn’t a lot of assembling to do before plugging this in and running it. The remote design is easier to navigate and handle. This air conditioner is pretty quiet while running, which was a big deal for me. The display design looks great, but for me it was the efficiency of the unit that mattered the most. Overall, I am very happy with this product so far and would recommend purchasing this item, regardless of whether you have a small room to cool, or a bigger one. Read more
