AC works fine but advertised as a smart AC but impossible to ever connect, everything instructed to do doesn’t work and one of the main reasons i bought it..
I would recommend this to a friend!

Please reach out to us and someone will get back to you as soon as possible.
I am truly disappointed in this window unit. It was purchased it in April this year, 2025, and by June it was spewing a rust-colored substance on the outside housing. Thinking it just may have been normal wear and tear, I reasoned that I would clean it at the end of the season, so, I left it alone. Last night I heard a noise I had not noticed before and peeped in through the air vent but didn't see anything. This morning, I looked in again and gasped at what I saw. The blades are black with mold and it's growing on the Styrofoam housing. I turned it off and opened the drain plug to let it dry out and the coil in that area is solid rust!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Rona was very understanding and helpful to me was setting up my AC. She even took the time to call me back and help me with further instructions.

The unit is mechanically great. It’s strong, quiet and does a great job doing what it’s intended to do. That, however, is offset by the cheap and subpar electronics that makes it possible. The controller board corrodes constantly and stops the unit from functioning properly. The buttons don’t work or they’re stuck in a perpetual cycle. It’s inexcusable to have this kind of issue with a product like this.

Thank you for your review! We are very happy that you are enjoying your AC. We hope that you are able to sit back, relax, and stay cool to beat the heat! Best, TCL Customer Support
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received this to review from Influenster and gave it a month to test it out and it’s really easy to install, very small and compact for my apartment. Compared to my old AC this one is slightly less noisy but at a reasonable level. I have two bedroom and it has a strong airflow to go around and cool my whole apartment. I love the eco button to help with the energy Efficiency and overall I’d highly recommend this AC unit for small apartments

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super happy with this item, as it’s very efficient in terms of cooling the room down by about 15-20 degrees depending on how long it’s runs. It was super simple to install and maybe the best part of it is the controllability away from home. Overall I would recommend this product for anyone looking to cool a room down!
