works well
It finally arrived after being about 5 or 6 days late, but I have only used it for around 40 minutes so far. But it was the hottest day of the year for my area and its held up well.This machine was in a south facing room so it was roasting hot and this machine took it down to a much cooler temperature within around 30 minutes, so if I had left it on longer it would have cooled the room a little more I would have thought.The other thing is it has not only cooled my living room but it cooled my kitchen at the same time because my kitchen is joined on to my living room (door removed between rooms) and the rooms are around 12ftx12ft each.I closed the windows and blinds to make the machine more efficient, but I only put the pipe out of the window a bit quick just to test if it was any good so when it's fixed properly it will work even better.Make no mistake about it this machine works and is well worth the money but the only downside is that it's very loud and by loud I mean loud, but it's worth it, I can sleep with this no problem as I am used to sleeping with loud fans, but if your watching the TV you have to have it up loud and that's not good when you live in a block of flats.Don't mistake these machines for coolers as I own a cooler (you add ice and water) and they are rubbish compared to these proper air con machines.It isn't all that big really but it's quite heavy to carry if your not strong enough it may be a problem, but it does have wheels to move it around if needed.The pipe exhaust that goes outside is rather large in width and it's much bigger than I thought it would be, but it's very short in length (it needs to be short to work at its best) so I have to put the machine on a table in order to get the pipe to reach my window, and even then it just about stretches.I would give this machine 9/10 and if it had been quieter I would have given 10/10 but like I say well worth the money, if you suffer with the heat then an aircon is the way to go.Some reviewers about this product are being picky but in my opinion it is a good buy for what it does.*update*- Have used this machine a number of times now and it has also been fixed to the window properly and it works very well indeed, cools the room quite quickly and it cools it to a perfect temperature. It really is a good piece of kit to have lying around for really hot weather like we have been suffering lately.And don't forget that with global warming, the earth is only going to get hotter as the years go on, so one of these machines could be a life saver with people with health issues.I'm a bit worried about my electric bill though lol but its worth the money in my opinion, but this machine is energy rated A so should be cheaper than what they used to cost.

Effective but noisy
Delivered well packaged and complete. I struggled to get this upstairs into my bedroom due to the weight... it's not something I'd like to carry up and down the stairs daily to different rooms.The plug lead was long enough for me. I placed the unit underneath one of my bedroom windows.The extractor tube is short but sufficient for my needs, however, the supplied window kit only fits sash windows. I have ordered a side-opening window kit which cost me an additional £20.So, I stuck the extractor hose out of my jammed-closed window and closed the curtains to test out.The temperature outside was around 30c. Within 10 minutes the room was noticeably cooler. and after 30 mins very pleasant.My main concern with this is the noise. On the Cool/AC setting, when the motor is operating, it is loud... loud enough for me to worry about the neighbours! It also has a resonating hum every second or so, I guess this is normal?The fan and dehumidifier setting is much quieter, however, I don't know why the dehumidifier shows an orange light on the display, unlike green on other settings.In the UK this is a luxury (the last month has been exceptionally hot), but for the next heatwave, I hope to make more use of it.Overall, very pleased, but there's no way I could sleep through the noise in the same room, and I'm conscious of upsetting the neighbours.I consider my purchase very acceptable given the budget price.

Good but loud
Thankfully this arrived a few days before the recent UK long heatwave and has been a godsend in a small flat.Easy to move on wheels and quickly brings the temperature down to bearable.On the downside it's noisy. I doubt anyone could sleep with it on, even on the low setting.Comes with a window kit which is only suitable for sash windows.Also, the pipe fittings are fiddly to connect.And... the cool air seems not to come out directly from the front, blowing straight ahead. Weird.No idea what the adjustable grill is supposed to do. Moving it up on down doesn't change a thing in air direction.

Pretty good but not perfect
Overall, this is pretty good, and made life bearable during the various hot spells (both for working from home, and simply existing...). However, it is very loud. Sitting about 1.5m from it with noise cancelling headphones on was fine though.Sleep mode isn't much quieter than normal, but for me on balance, a comfortable temperature is far better than a silent environment.The included window kit is reasonable (better than nothing, but a better solution should be sought), but glad it was included.Not a fault exactly, but the 'swing/oscillating' function seemed to have very reduced range compared to expected. Don't know if this was by design or a fault, but for Mr it wasn't the most important feature, so acceptable.

Air conditioner with some cons.
Well, it works. Cools down small bedroom in no time on the max setting. But larger sitting room with joined kitchen takes time to cool. Easy to set up and connect to the app. Comes with all attachments needed.First thing i didn't like, that hose attachment on the back, to let the hot air out, doesn't fix properly so it is slightly blowing hot air through the sides.Second, sleep mode does basicly nothing. Just disables fan speed and keeps it to the minimum, but it doesn't make it quiet. Even on the lowest setting unit is very loud, no chance to sleep with it on. And the screen does not switch off even with sleep mode, so in the dark room it is annoying.I bought this mainly because of hot nights, as our baby struggles to sleep when it is so hot. But this unit wakes him up as well, so no use out of it. Will try to return.By the way, the price when i bought it was 349£, which was not too bad for this air con. But now it is 499£! Way too expensive
