11/25/20 Edit: While I still use the fan on the machine and it runs pretty much 24/7 this product still works like a charm - 8mos later. The item above, pictured now is different than the one I bought. Mine has 4 vent blades. Happy Holidays...
Edited to add: TAKE THE 15MINS TO *READ* THE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET. I NOTICE TOO MANY COMPLAINTS THAT ARE A VERY CLEAR OVERSIGHT & CAN BE RESOLVED BY THE SIMPLE SETTING(S).
****TIPS FOR TEMP****
Yes. So I've learned that it runs MUCH COLDER, LONGER when the filter is cleaned once a week. I literally spray it off (out) with my kitchen sink hose and it's quick and easy. Next, use a swifter duster and remove any buildup from the lower part vent exterior. The first time I did it I was in shock at the big piece of dust that slid off... that alone reduced the temp at least by 10° immediately. Next, on the very bottom in the back there is a screw off nozzle. Then pull out the rubber insert WITH A DRAIN PAN UNDERNEATH, this is the condensation that must be drained every once in awhile. I do mine every few weeks, its minimal and quick. Reinsert that rubber fitting and screw back on the round plastic cover so it's sealed when done. While I'm at it, I always run the dehumidifier afterwards with the hose it came with into a small few gal Rubbermaid bin. I set a timer because it's actually overflowed when I forgot to dump it and left it running. I will run/drain the dehumidifier for at least 5mins during all of this maintenance and while in cycle I'll switch it to cool and the water rushes out (fully draining, quick) this seems to reduce the temp drastically again for another several weeks without reduction. Make sure you carefully remove that hose, reinsert the rubber fitting and screw back on that cap. Oh and the dehumidifier is the one halfway up on the back. The directions tell you all of this but I had to read it a few times to fully understand since I'd never had one before. Also if the display ever reads a code, there's a reason and it tells you in the manual. That's how I learned about the drain at the very bottom. Hope this helps you and others. Happy to help!
Original Review...
I'm very please with this portable air conditioner. I was able to set it up and getting running very easily, alone. It's been running for about 15mins and my large room has already dropped from 91° to 74° it's amazing and I highly recommend this unit after hours of Amazon research and this final decision. As far as the noise, WHAT NOISE? Its an air conditioner and I hear the fan gently blowing nice cold air... if youre looking for silent, good luck. This is the quietest I've ever heard and will sleep peacefully without question. BUY IT, YOU WON'T REGRET IT.
