Okay, so I caved and bought this portable AC after sweating through one too many Florida summers. And wow—this thing is a BEAST.
First off, the cooling power is insane. My room went from 'sauna' to 'arctic' in like 5 minutes flat. The dual motors actually make a difference—way quieter than my old rattly window unit.
Installation was shockingly easy (even for someone who usually screws up IKEA furniture). The window kit fit my weird basement window after some creative foam-trimming. Pro tip: wear gloves if you’re cutting that foam—it gets everywhere.
The app control is low-key genius. I love turning it on from my car so my bedroom’s already icy when I get home. Though fair warning: the ‘wind tunnel’ setting is NO JOKE—nearly blew my cat across the room.
Two minor gripes: 1) The exhaust hose is stiff and takes up space like an overenthusiastic yoga instructor. 2) You WILL need to drain water occasionally (I use an old margarita pitcher because… Florida).
After 3 weeks of 90°+ days? 10/10 would buy again. My only regret is not getting it sooner!
