Amazon Basics 4-In-1 Portable AC (Air Conditioner), with Cool/Heat/Dry (Dehumidifier)/Fan-Only Functions, Auto Mode, Sleep Mode, Timer, Cools 550 Sqf, 13,000 BTU (ASHARE)/10000 BTU (SACC), White

I managed to not get an a/c for my apartment due to being able to open windows and use fans-- but it finally got to the point where I needed to consider my comfort as my room was nearing 90 in the afternoons. I looked for something that would cool just my room, something compact and affordable that was NOT a window unit as I can't drill into the walls and would not be able to use a regular window unit without that.This was an affordable option-- so I took the leap.This arrived by Amazon Logistics, and the delivery gentleman was kind enough to bring this up the one flight of stairs I knew I couldn't do on my own, and placed it right by my door. I then performed "scoot the box a few feet, laugh at how absurd I probably look" into my apartment. Note: while it was kept upright during shipping, it did have moments on its side just while going from truck to apartment. Amazon Logistics did a great job though-- arrived in perfect condition, even the box didn't have one scuff on it.It's a pretty compact size and fits comfortably in the corner of my bedroom; setup was incredibly easy, and I was lucky enough where the included exhaust tube was JUST the right length to work. However, I did get an extra-long one just in case that I will save for the future if needed. FYI it's 5.9" diameter, COUNTER-clockwise threaded tube if you need to grab a longer one.After setting it up, I did wait before turning it on like recommended to be sure that any liquids in the aircon had settled. Once turning it on, I was so relieved that I finally had a comfortable temperature in my room that I took the best nap I've had in MONTHS. You don't realize how much heat screws with your sleep until you don't have it bothering you, I guess.Noise level is like a white noise machine. Nothing obtrusive, honestly pretty comforting. The remote works like a portable room thermometer, great to keep near by so that your a/c knows to keep cooling when needed.So far, this was ZERO anxiety to set up, unlike window units. Great value, especially for the price. If I could send a message to myself a few months back, it would be to buy this sooner. Good sleep is so incredibly worth it.

Cools and heats great! Only one unit needed. We have had many portable AC units, this is by far the best.

Works very well but the fan is noisy, even at low speed. You might not care. Even when used just for heating you do need to have the exhaust pipe out a window. And when used as a heater, think of it as a reverse A/C, so instead of removing humidity from the air, it adds humidity. Again, you might not care. But it heats a 200 sq ft room in about 30 minutes.

This was a life saver for my office. Our building's A/C is broken and I needed a solution that would be cost efficient and effective. This filled the bill wonderfully. My employees are happy, and that makes me happy. I would definitely recommend and buy again if the situation presents itself.

We had high hopes that this portable AC/heater would heat and cool our one bonus room measuring 17’x17’.(289sf) says it cools/heats up to 549sf.Walls and doors are all well insulated. After only using one week, the heater has begun to fail. Barely warm air comes out. Runs for hours and temp goes up 5-6 degrees. Controls and remote are very quirky to operate. We’ll give it another week to see if there is any improvement ,but doubtful….probably going to return.

Works great for smaller places , we use it in the Trailer

My central air system died at the tail end of the summer . The repair would have been quite expensive because my system was older. I purchased the portable unit to get me through the last few hot weeks and it worked perfectly. The unit really gets as cold as the central system and the installation was fairly simple . It is a bit louder than what I’m used to but beyond that it’s the perfect solution.

The brown shipping box is all there is between your item and everything else being shipped. The top where the weight of other boxes being stacked (it's too heavy for anything else than a bottom ship) was too much for the weak styrofoam to withstand. Because the quality of the box itself is poor, the oversized window adapter piece was cracked.That piece is extremely important if you purchased this for a sliding window. The strength of that portion is vital for adding a plug to keep the piece from sliding downward in a vertical position. Clear backing tape can fix this issue but it is a band aid for something rather important.Purchased two. Both had some damage but one had damage to the motor and did not function properly. Amazon is working with us to refund it and picked up the heavy box for free.The unit itself has a good design that makes it look smaller than it is, has a back that allows an "S" curve to bend further in at the top, making it a little easier to get a little closer to the wall. Its ability for cooling large spaces is exceptional with its high capacity fan and high BTU. Still learning all of the features which seem pretty loaded for the price. It's cooling capacity is fantastic and has a very powerful motor, not the quietest but works for me.I will say, that since purchasing these, I found the same product under two other brand names but I doubt I'd find any of them.If these are to be continued (and I highly recommend Amazon do so) strengthen packaging by using a higher quality cardboard with stronger styrofoam.While waiting for this to arrive the weather cooled but...now that we have them, we seem to be going into more 105+ degree weather so....awesome for that! Oh yeah...shipping took a little long in my opinion but we have understand the high demand and the unusual circumstances of 2020.Overall, surprised by the quality and happy I canceled the Delonghi and got the Amazon Basics. Saved enough that purchasing two wasn't as painful as the last time we did that. :)
