Bought a second one
on June 24, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
Developed some back problems, so we went with portable a/cs instead of window units. I did some homework, and Honeywells got fairly consistent good ratings. Bought a Honeywell a/c because of the warranty (5 yrs parts and labor) and because it used less current (amps) than comparable units. Also bought this Frigidaire instead of another Honeywell just to "cover our bases." We put the Frigidaire in my wife's office, about 120 sq feet and the Honeywell in our bedroom, about 150 sq feet. My wife started remarking about how "chilly" it was in her office and how she had to turn the temp up. The Honeywell, on the other hand, at full blast could not keep up with a 90 degree day. The best it could do is get our bedroom down to about 75 - 78 degrees. We took it back and got another Frigidaire and have been a lot more satisfied. It draws about an amp more power than the Honeywell and is a little louder, but the fan is a lot stronger and it actually cools our bedroom. Not as good of a warranty, but it's cheaper and it works better.

Disappointed, returned the unit

I messed up my back this spring, so my wife insisted that we get portable a/cs instead of window units. Did a fair amount of homework and accepted the fact that portables just aren't as efficient as window units, but had little choice. Several review sites listed Honeywells as decent units and the 5 year parts and labor warranty, as well as the fact that this unit draws about an amp less current as a comparable Frigidaire, made me order it (not available in Best Buy stores). Just to cover our bases, we also ordered a Frigidaire portable unit. We put the Frigidaire in my wife's office and the Honeywell in our bedroom. There was no comparison. The Frigidaire, on low, had my wife talking about how cold it was in her office. The Honeywell, on the other hand, in the heat of a 90 degree afternoon, on high, could do no better than about 77-78 degrees, shades drawn, room dark. The unit is rated for a 250 square foot room, our bedroom is about 150 square feet and unless you were standing within about 2 feet of the unit, you couldn't feel any cold air. We returned the Honeywell (an easy return, thankfully) and replaced it with another Frigidaire and we are satisfied.

So far, so good

I've only had this for about a month and have not had any problems thus far. Relatively quiet, controls are easy enough to comprehend. I have not looked at the filters since putting it into service, so I don't know how efficient they are yet. I bought replacement filters for when the time comes and the only very minor complaint I have is that the carbon filter is kind of an universal fit and needs to be cut to fit this particular air cleaner.

How long is the hose? Can you get more length?

Not exactly sure how long the hose is if fully extended. However, you don't want too long of a hose as there needs to be a consistent rise in the hose from the a/c to the window bracket. Heat rises, so if there is any kind of a sag in the hose, efficiency will suffer. This is true for any portable a/c, not just this particular make and model. Additionally, the a/c needs to be at least 20 inches from the wall, but I wouldn't put it much more than that if you can help it. There needs to be a minimum distance for air flow (the 20 inches) but extending that distance much more will start to reduce efficiency (in my opinion). When the a/c is running and you put your hand on the hose, it is noticeably warm. The shorter the distance (observing the minimum distance, of course) the sooner the warm air will exit out the window.

Does this unit run on a regular 115v supply?

Yes, it runs on 115 volts. It draws about 8 amps, though, so if the outlet you plug it into is on a shared circuit, this might be the only a/c you can put on the circuit, assuming you have a 15 amp circuit.
