Good portable AC unit for a good price from a good seller. But you should read my review
By Thomas Mitchell on Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2024
It's fairly compact but pretty powerful. Had it a week so far and it seems to work pretty well. It was easy to install and set up, especially since it was replacing an old one that was set up the same way. Now, one thing that I will note...if you live in a humid region or have a basement that is humid, or both, like I do, make sure you have a good size bucket or container for the water runoff and check it often, about every hour or so. When I ran it the first time I had it draining into a half gallon container and it was full to the top every hour for as long as I ran it. It overflowed the first time because I didn't realize it would fill up so fast, so I used a larger 1 gallon container. But like I said I live in a humid region and have an unfinished basement that gets pretty humid. So, keep that in mind when you're setting it up. I'm sure that's not an issue in an arid region with no basement. But, if you're in similar conditions to me, if you're using the internal drain pan it'll likely keep alarming and shutting down rather frequently. On the other hand, if you use the external drain hose like I have, you'll need to check your drain container periodically, how often depends on humidity factors and how big your bucket or container is, but to avoid any overflow issues I would recommend checking it within 1 hour of run time after initial set-up. Then, simply adjust how often you check it as needed. Naturally, less water will come out as it pulls the humidity out of the air. But be vigilant after initial set-up because it can produce a lot of water at first until it normalizes the humidity in your house, so depending on your particular humidity levels and factors, you may have to babysit it for that first day. Be aware, be prepared, be responsible, and then simply adjust according to your own particular circumstances. DON'T SET IT UP INITIALLY WITH THE EXTERNAL DRAIN HOSE TO A CONTAINER AND THEN LEAVE IT UNATTENDED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD, AS IT COULD OVERFLOW AND CAUSE WATER DAMAGE The best case scenario would be if you could run the external drain hose outside or to some sort of drain, if that's an option that you have. I couldn't do that in my case, hence, I use a jug. That said, it's a nice powerful unit that cools pretty much my whole house pretty well, does a very good job dehumidifying as it cools, was easy to install, and is actually smaller than my old one that was only 9000 BTUs. I would recommend this product and this seller as well. A good product for a good price. Shipping was efficient with no damage, even despite the glitch in the tracking info caused by the recent IT failure thanks to the CrowdStrike debacle, it still arrived on time as scheduled. Overall, I'm very satisfied. If you purchase one from this seller, I think you probably would be too.

Does NOT cool very well at all for a 12000 btu portable ac
By trisha on Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2024
I bought a 12000 btu coolblus portable unit & this one looks more like the lowest model (8000 btu). The hose didn’t fit well and it had not cooled down my bedroom. I bought 3 different brands this year for 3 different rooms and this is by far the worst ac unit I have purchased! It has cooled the room by MAYBE 5° at most. Total waste of hundreds of dollars!!! Do NOT buy this!!! UPDATE: I was sent the 8500 btu model which is why it is not helping to cool my room. I’m waiting to hear from the seller regarding sending me the correct unit and sending this one back. Will update with outcome UPDATE: the seller never helped me with this matter I have now had to call Amazon 4 times and still don’t have the product I paid for. Don’t trust this place AT ALL!!!!! I don’t like paying over $300 for nothing at all!!!!! BEWARE PEOPLE!!!! UPDATE: I GOT SCREWED! DO NOT TRUST THiS PLACE!!
