he room we use this in, is approx 4m x 5m with high ceilings. we also don’t have the correct window for the attachment so i cant seal the room properly, BUT.. this thing works wonders. Don’t get me wrong its not amazing in high heat (35C-36C+) but it makes the room cool enough to sleep in summer. I only brought this half way through summer and my only regret was i didn’t buy it earlier. the noise isn’t that bad after a while as you get used to it and now we’ve hit winter i’ve packed it away and i actually miss the noise, felt like it helped me sleep. made me feel refreshed in summer.
only DISLIKES i can think of is.
-It’s quite heavy so lifting it can be an issue.
-you have to have a large tube hanging out the window.
-its difficult to place it as the tube hole is on the back, you cant put it against a wall. it sticks out kinda to far for my liking.
-It’s a bit of a eye sore.
-Noise might be an issue.
LIKES
– cools the room quite rapid, room is 4m x 5M.
– moveable on wheels.
– has a remote.
– filters are easy to clean
– low energy cost (700W)
All round i really like this product and would recommend if you hate the hot weather in summer and like me struggle to sleep. big thumbs up!
It does the job, it is quite loud, and it doesn’t blow out directly towards you, it blows out to the right which is quite strange I have to point it almost to the wall to feel the air in my direction which really bugs me because I have to turn it every time I use it, but for the money and a god send in the heat its okay, it would be perfect for a static caravan, thats what I would say is its ideal use!
I have wanted an air conditioner for so long and I finally took the plunge! After several days of comparisons, reading reviews and the usual deliberating that I always do. I went with this one, it had many positive reviews and the main complaint was noise!
In a nutshell, it’s actually very good and zero complaints, the noise is as expected, I personally think it’s okay, yes its noisy but no more than my large floor standing industrial type fan, the type that sits close to floor and has metal mesh case, it’s got a smaller footprint and it actually cools the air, no more getting hit in the face with a warm wave of air!! Air is fired out the front but directed to the left side not straight ahead which I found strange, one reviewer here made fins to help send breeze forward instead of to the left, I think thats a good idea but where I have mine placed it’s not necessary.
Having finally got one I discovered the pipe at the back of the air conditioner is to pump the warm air gathered out of the room, I didn’t know that, although it’s obvious really, (I expected liquid or something, shows you how much I know about them). so it’s very important to use an air conditioner in a sealed room, no open windows. It will still pump out cold air but the heat removed is actually rather warm and your room’s temperature will not change too much.
Controls are easy to use, it cools my room down nicely and I will have it for Years to come.
So my advice is to bite the bullet and invest in an air conditioner, I’m happy I finally did and this one is probably as good as any at this price point. I was tempted to get a more expensive one but I doubt there will be much if any improvement.
I’ve had it a few months now, moved it round the house and it’s all good I noticed prices go up in heatwaves as demand rises, I was going to buy another but it had gone up by 80!
This is a real aircon with compressor inside. Note one of those evaporative coolers being sold as aircons (which in UK are a waste of time. It’s too humid here for evaporative coolers to do anything). The headline is that this aircon works well at cooling my room. At the time I got this one though it was the cheapest available on Amazon uk. There are some niggles about it, compared to my other unit make me give this only 4 stars. The cool air is blown out at a weird angle – if you face it directly to you, the air will blow to your left-hand side. My other aircon has some vertical fins you can use to adjust the direction of air, but this one doesn’t. It’s very loud – I’m quite a heavy sleeper and I’d say it’s still a bit loud for me to sleep easily. The remote doesn’t have a display on it, meaning you can’t see what changes you’re making to the settings – this means you don’t know what speed you’re setting, or whether you’re setting cool, fan or dehumidify mode without getting up to look at the unit. The unit doesn’t tell you what the current temperature is, meaning it’s a bit of trial and error to choose a comfortable temperature set-point. In aircon mode, I feel like it really dries out the air – more so than my other unit – to the point that my eyes sting if it’s on for too long. I found that hanging a wet towel up in the airstream helped, so I’ve ordered a humidifier to counter this. So there are these niggles, but if you’re in the market for the cheapest possible air conditioner, and this one is the cheapest you can find, then I’d recommend it. If you want something a bit nicer to be around though, my other one was half-price end of line (so not available any more), but if it’s representative of what 300-400 gets you on an aircon, I can also see the benefit of paying a bit more for some quality of life features.
Purchased for the latest heatwave, seems well made but as other reviewers have stated it is quite loud.
Seems to take the temperature down around 6 degrees from what it would be normally.
Our main bedroom is well within the size limits but is south west facing so by the evenings even with blinds and windows shut can reach 30C (same as outside)
Using the unit constantly for around 2 hours from 5pm the temp dropped to around 24.5C.
As an experiment I ran this morning when outside was 23C the bedroom started at 24.5C and after 2 hours was 20.9C this is with the unit set at 16C.
Makes a difference but am not blown away.
After 3 days of using the unit its seeming to sometimes switch to fan mode no cool, turning it off and back on again is resolving this issue at the moment but hope there isn’t a fault.
Slighting worrying shudder when turning on and off too perhaps another fault?
A few of the things reviewers on here are saying are correct, but a lot of it isn’t, in my experience.
The air does come out at an odd angle, but just rotate the machine to the direction you need. The hose is a bit short if you have conventional windows but I did manage to make it work. Yes, it probably doesn’t get your room down to the kinds of temperatures a built-in wall unit or more expensive portable unit can achieve.
However, I can tell you that I was suffering so badly in an upstairs maisonette during this heatwave that I almost packed my bags. This machine has completely changed the game for me and made life bearable. It probably drops the ambient temp by about 5-10 degrees within an hour or two and I don’t really pay attention to the 16 degrees setting on the device. It can make a huge difference. Putting my hand against the fan the air is objectively cold, so not sure why people were saying it was just blowing out room temp air.
As for the noise, mine is quite loud but it’s an air conditioner. If you’ve ever slept on a flight then you can sleep with this on. I just had the best 8 hours of sleep in over a week with this thing whirring away next to me. I probably wouldn’t have it on while I am doing a work call but I can do just about everything else, including watching TV.
This air conditioner is pretty noisy but the upside is it’s great at cooling so you only need to run it for an hour or so to cool down a room. Really wish it had a sleep mode or more granular fan control as the two fan speed settings are practically the same and equally as noisy!
I run a cake decorating business from home and bought this to help keep my work area cool on hot days. Arrived just before the hottest day of the year 29 degrees. I put the unit on 7am when the room was reading 21 degrees, kept the unit on all day and it managed to keep the temperature around 20 degrees sometime lower despite the rising temperature outside. I’m happy with this and although it is set to 16 degrees I don’t expect it to reach that with temperatures as high as 29 outside.
It’s a little noisy but fine for during the day working and what I would expect from any fan/air conditioning
Originally I bought one of those cooking fans with the water and ice packs – they do absolutely nothing might as well just buy a fan.
Unfortunately with a shed a fan literally blows around warm air and even having the door open just ends up circulating warm fresh air.
So I’ve opted for an air conditioning unit!
Review:
Pros
1. Price – it’s under 300 and at the time of buying Amazon offered 5 interest free instalments with next day delivery.
2. Size – it’s small and compact and actually takes up less space than many of those cooling fans
3. It works!I was skeptical I could instantly feel the coolness.
4. Multifunctional – can be used as a fan, as aid con, or as a dehumidifier
5. Comes with a remote
6. Comes with a window adapter kit (although useless for many who have windows that open outwards as it’s for windows you push up)
Cons
1. It’s loud(ish)for daytime use it’s absolutely fine and it’s what you’d expect for a fan and air con – I really wish it had a night mode or a slower fan speed.
It states 65db which is the level of people talking and having a conversation – but less noisier than a busy road. (So if you want to use it at night you’d need to be a deep sleeper and be able to sleep through the sound level of people having a good old natter in your room)
2. I lived in japan for 8 years – on normal air con the dehumidifier goes quiet as it’s just filtering the air of moistureyet this continues to use the fan and makes the same amount of noise.
3. If you have a window that doesn’t push up then the supplied window kit is useless.
All in all it’s a decent unit that was under 300. It certainly does cool. (For those complaining it doesn’t go below 16 – normally you have it set to a few degrees below the actual temperature and you’d feel the coolnessthere’s absolute no need to go below 16 degrees – this is an air con unit NOT a refrigerator)
This is great for daytime use although might be noisy for some.
I would NOT recommend this if you want to use it whilst sleeping.
(Why Amazon is asking to rate the sleep mode I have no ideait doesn’t have a sleep mode)
Update, I tried setting the timer for the first time in just over a year since purchased, the numbers set ok and the temperature but when allotted time arrived it did not switch on. tried again same thing and the yellow timer light was not staying on, only when setting up was the light illuminated. There is no mention in my inst book about any further procedure, however thinking about it it seems that the inputted info is not being stored, so tried a few things and low and behold if you hold the timer button down for a couple of seconds after setting the digits, then the yellow light stays on and the timer works as it should do. Later instructions may have corrected text of course, I hope this helps anyone who has had problems setting the timer up.
While this unit isn’t going to cool a house, it cooled the bedroom beautifully, and did help lower the overall temperature in their one bedroom bungalow very slightly.
This really is best used as a one room unit, so pick the room you wish to keep cool, and recognise this is a small unit, so as I said, it’s not designed to cool an entire house.
It was quick to set up because we ordered the window adaptor the same time… be prepared to add that to your costs.
Running costs were not as bad as some units, and noise levels were bearable.
Air direction control is also limited as vent only goes up and down however whole unit is on wheels so can be easily turned left and right.
As with all these types of air con units, the hose is too short for most homes.
