8,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner

Cool

 toolsempire ac 8000btu. I found it very easy to install in a vertical window with some ingenuity, and don't find it any noisier than my old Maytag installed window air-conditioner was in the older horizontal window. I am watching t.v. right now at regular volume right beside it. It cool down my apartment faster than my olde window air-conditioner, my space was quite comfortable. Living in Virginia in 650 sq. ft. apartment it actually made it quite comfortable in no time at all for a portable. Nice little remote, and although bigger than I expected - it certainly is not as noisy as a few of my neighbour's new units. I would recommend it for bedrooms, or smaller apartments, etc. Also want to say if you turn it on early in the morning on an extremely hot day, it works much better. Don't wait until it is already too hot, and you will feel the cool air as soon as you talk in to your room. close the curtains/blinds, you'll have no trouble maintaining a comfortable temp inside. I'm satisfied.

Powerful Portable AC

This AC is really powerful and moves a ton of air. A cool feature that is rare in small units is that the fan shuts off when the desired temperature has been reached, this is really nice for long time use and means less wear and tear and cheaper electric bills over time. I use this in my home's upstairs office which is the warmest part of the house. I built a vent out of wood board to slide between my sliding door. The ac works very efficiently at sucking the heat out and blowing cool air directly at my desk. It takes a lot of pressure from my central air which runs all day long. I was surprised to see that it has a quiet mode too for when you are sleeping or just to reduce background noise. Also nice is the decent remote that is included, not one of those cheap button cell ones.

Happy cool and comfortable

Love this thing... issues like "exhaust coupling parts" is true but easily fixed with 2 zip ties. Live in Florida and the dehumidifier and cooling side are amazing. Have had for a few months and still works like a champ. Solid unit for the space it covers. Cleaning water container is a bit tricky, so it sometimes smells but that's normal for this type of product. Maintenance is alway important. 2 thumbs up.

Don't hesitate..buy this unit.

I am 78 and live in basement apartment with bars on windows..probably a security feature but does not allow a window air conditioner to be installed. I have been suffering with 90 plus het and several fans. A friend suggested this and OMG it is wonderful..arrived quickly and I am so glad I purchased it and You will be too.

Multiple functions, effective in basements

At first I was thinking this AC was not what my brother needed and was going to send it back to amazon. But we set it up and tried it out and it really is a high quality and functional portable AC. there are more modes than you typically would find in a house installed ventilated AC (at least the one in my house). There is cool, dry and fan as well as a timer which is great if you are trying to save electricity. There is sleep mode as well and the option to change the measure of temperature. The air quality and power of it blowing out covers a basement size room, don’t be fooled by the size. I think it’s great it doesn’t take up too much space, it’s more skinny tall then a bulky wide size. The water eventually needs to be dumped out but that is standard. I’m glad we didn’t return the item!

Make my room much cooler

It is a literal life saver! You do need to vent it through a window (which is easy for me and I can’t put hardly anything together ,the window kit was fit perfectly. It's very adjustable to whatever type window. The noise is not too loud for a small bedroom and I feel it's instant cooling effects.

I am so impressed!!

This is amazing. My husband bought for my birthday. Really helps reduce electricity bill in hotter rooms.
