Shinco 12 000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner Portable AC Unit with Built-in Cool Dehumidifier Fan Modes for Room

So far so good. The only thing is the cool setting doesn’t turn on and I think it’s because it’s not hot enough yet. It hasn’t reached high temps yet to fully see how well it works. The standard shipping took less than 24 hours. The machine looks great, a little smaller than expected. Wasn’t to heavy and can be easily moved around. Installation was super easy. Happy with the purchase so far. UPDATE: Been almost a month using this unit for an apartment master bedroom. Have had no issues and it cools the room well. It is a bit noisy but having the room cool during hot weather makes it totally worth it. Happy with the unit and would recommend. When I read other reviews, seeing other units leak or are super loud, maybe they got bad ones or damaged in transit. Read more

I finally found a working AC portable unit! It was a search that proved not to trust online reviews and searches such as "the best portable AC ". I've tried the best unit for 2024 - dual hose Wynther unit and was very dissapointed by the performance - even it is listed as 12000btu unit it had the power of a 5000btu. I then tried a Tenoxo 12000btu unit and was impressed by the cold air, nice design and very quiet, but first unit only worked for 5 minutes, returned and replaced, so second unit survived 2 hours, returned and replaced, so 3rd unit lasted 20 minutes! I couldn't believe my bad luck! I then ordered this AC unit and what a relief - it works!!!! It cools! And I do not care that is slightly more noisy than the others! IT WORKS!!! And it cooled my big, 2 car garage from 92 to 86F in about 2 hours. The garage is open all the way to the roof and there is no insulation, but on the garage door! I am impressed by the performance of this AC. I had to switch down the fan as the cold air coming to me from 15ft.away was too cold for me! I hope it keeps on running for years to come! Read more

I couldn’t find any reviews comparing this air conditioner to a window unit. I’d like to share that I’ve only had my unit for a little over a weeks now but so far I really like it. At my apartment complex, they do not allow window units without a special permission and I didn’t want to go through that trouble so I went ahead and purchased this portable unit, that didn’t take any altering to my window aside from the panel to vent air. This portable unit is just almost just as cold as the kind that sit on the window sill. I was worried that it wouldn’t be the same type of cold but it’s very comparable!!!! I’m so happy it takes about 30 mins the first time you turn it on to completely get cold and work full capacity but after that it’s cold as soon as you turn it on. The remote is very convenient. It was very easy to install. It took me about 20 minutes. the window attachment for the vent has a clip which allows it to hold in place once you adjust to the size/length you need. This made installation so fast and easy. NO TOOLS REQUIRED!!! I will say it is quite noisey compared to other units I’ve used in the past. It can be a bit annoying in times when you prefer no noise. I’ve caught myself a few times needing to shut off the unit because I get annoyed by the noise which is one of the downsides. I just moved to an upstairs room and it gets soooo hot now so I bought this. i need to make sure my dog is ok when I leave for work. This does the job and keeps my room chilly. It’s soooo worth it and the wheels make it easy to move around and it looks of quality. I’ll say it again, this unit is pretty much just as good as the window units. It gets CHILLY 🥶❄️ try it!!

Purchased the original and received on July 5th. Compressor would only run for 2 or 3 minutes before turning off and blowing room temperature air. Setting was at 72° room was over 80°. Asked for replacement which I received on July 11th. Let it sit for 24hrs in the vertical position as it said to do on box both times. The replacement did the exact same thing as the original. Neither pushed cool air for more than 5 minutes before the compressor shut off. Both were set up and vented outside as they were supposed to be. I have another brand I run in my garage and it has worked flawlessly for over a year now, but these pieces of crap need to be put back on a cargo ship and sent back to wherever they came from. Now here is where things go south with Amazon. I contacted them and let them know the replacement they sent was not working as well and that I prefer to just be refunded on my Amazon gift balance to purchase a different brand, preferably the one I bought from them last year. I was informed by Customer service that the refund would not be credited to my account until both were delivered back to Amazon. So 4 to 5 days for return shipping, then another 2 to 3 days for credit to be applied, then another 4-5 days for a replacement to arrive to me. So now I'm stuck waiting 3 days for the first one to arrive and not work, another 3 days for the replacement to arrive, then 4 days for them to receive the returns, 2 days for the credit to be applied, then another 4 days to get a replacement. So I'm out now $300 for something I paid for that Amazon sold me and maybe 3 weeks later I may get something that works. After over a decade of being a prime customer I would have thought Amazon would've treated loyal customers better than this. I think this may be the end of my Amazon account as several other online retailers are offering same shipping times and products with more care to customers. Why pay for a service that cares absolutely nothing about the products they sell or customer base they have. Once again save your money, buy a different brand and stay as far away from this piece of garbage as you can or your waiting your money and don't expect Amazon to help you in any way. Read more
