I managed to not get an a/c for my apartment due to being able to open windows and use fans-- but it finally got to the point where I needed to consider my comfort as my room was nearing 90 in the afternoons. I looked for something that would cool just my room, something compact and affordable that was NOT a window unit as I can't drill into the walls and would not be able to use a regular window unit without that.
This was an affordable option-- so I took the leap.
This arrived by Amazon Logistics, and the delivery gentleman was kind enough to bring this up the one flight of stairs I knew I couldn't do on my own, and placed it right by my door. I then performed "scoot the box a few feet, laugh at how absurd I probably look" into my apartment. Note: while it was kept upright during shipping, it did have moments on its side just while going from truck to apartment. Amazon Logistics did a great job though-- arrived in perfect condition, even the box didn't have one scuff on it.
It's a pretty compact size and fits comfortably in the corner of my bedroom; setup was incredibly easy, and I was lucky enough where the included exhaust tube was JUST the right length to work. However, I did get an extra-long one just in case that I will save for the future if needed. FYI it's 5.9" diameter, COUNTER-clockwise threaded tube if you need to grab a longer one.
After setting it up, I did wait before turning it on like recommended to be sure that any liquids in the aircon had settled. Once turning it on, I was so relieved that I finally had a comfortable temperature in my room that I took the best nap I've had in MONTHS. You don't realize how much heat screws with your sleep until you don't have it bothering you, I guess.
Noise level is like a white noise machine. Nothing obtrusive, honestly pretty comforting. The remote works like a portable room thermometer, great to keep near by so that your a/c knows to keep cooling when needed.
So far, this was ZERO anxiety to set up, unlike window units. Great value, especially for the price. If I could send a message to myself a few months back, it would be to buy this sooner. Good sleep is so incredibly worth it.

Hard to install alone! Heavy too!
This product has been a life saver for me! My place gets really hot in the summer and I wanted to invest in an air conditioner that would actually work and be worth the $.Unfortunately it only gets down to 62 degrees Fahrenheit so on days where it’s over 90 it still feels a bit warm. Also keep in mind your living space square footage as one is not enough for me. This only reaches my dining room,kitchen, and living room.The noise level is at a medium volume. Once it gets going it’s about the same as a regular fan, so sound on the tv will have to be turned up and if you have meetings you will have to turn this off.The sleep mode is really nice, turns it on and off throughout the night and helps with the consistency of the cold air throughout my home.Installing this unit was a pain as it’s really freaking heavy. I have NO idea how my Amazon driver got it up the stairs. But thankfully I found out it rolls! Also the foam liner around the window trim does NOT come off easily. Other than that it is an amazing purchase for me.

The box was pretty damaged. Bottom was torn out and banding gone but the ac was fine. It was delivered a day early and I was thankful for my ring showing it was dropped off in my front yard. Not happy about that! I rushed home from work just in time to turn off sprinkler system! Other that the delivery part by ups I am very happy with the unit. This room was always in the 80”s. Now it’s is 74-75. I could have it cooler but 74 is cold to Me. Anyway the until was easy to set up. And works great!
