[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this unit for a little over a year now and I'm pretty happy with it. My room is cool and comfortable in under 30 minutes. It's easy to use and doesn't look bad in the window at all.
I give it 3 stars because recently, it developed a mildew smell and I can't seem to get rid of it. The manual instructs not to take it apart. I called and the best solution they had was to use bleach. It's a temporary solution at best. It lasts about an afternoon but comes back the next day. Nothing shows at all how to clean it and it's embarrassing to have anyone over when my room smells like I don't do laundry. If 5 stars if I can find a solution though.

Hi, IshH.
Thanks for your review!
We’re happy to hear how much you’re enjoying the cooling power of your air conditioner.
I understand you’re having a bit of trouble tackling the mildew smell from your unit.
Air conditioners remove moisture from the air. The water collects in the base of the unit. It is possible for some water to sit stagnant in the base of the air conditioner for extended periods, especially during very humid weather.
I recommend revisiting your model’s installation instructions to ensure your unit is properly draining any excessive water.
Also, if you feel bleach is a bit harsh. Combine 1/2 cup white vinegar with 2 cups hot water in a large bowl or spray bottle. Spray, or apply the mixture with a sponge, onto the vents.
Scrub the affected areas thoroughly with an old toothbrush or scrub brush, and then rinse clean with warm water.
Should the above suggestion prove ineffective, I recommend contacting a professional cleaning company for further assistance.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is actually my second model! I have two in my apartment; one in the bedroom and one in the livingroom. They both work well as intended and are easy to install within a window. Do make sure you purchase the correct BTU for the intended square footage of the intended room. Having the right size for the space makes energy efficiency a breeze!
Bought this model air conditioner off the website last month I like how it’s not noisy like my old unit even though the old units wasn’t old my unit arrived with some damage out the box but it’s quiet keeps my nice and cool and dehumidified and has good features I also like how it’s not extremely heavy and easy to install

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the ionizer. It’s 6000btu in a 350 sq ft. Low ceilings. With kitchenette , bathroom 450. Works great. I just wish it was biuilt on slant. I had to close window on accordion thing. Couldn’t close it behind it. Lots of taping to seal, took 1hr1/2 to install
