    Worth the money

    4/5
    This is a wonderful portable AC. It cooled our bedroom big style in the recent hot weather and enabled us to get a comfortable night's sleep. The side opening window attachment didn't fit our windows as our handles obstructed fitting it. So it's not a universal attachment. I've solve the problem with a sheet of perspex and some U shaped aluminium to make a track so my shield slides along the window. This enables us to either have the shut as normal or when using the AC we can vent the hot exhaust heat and stop flying wasps etc coming in. The controls and app are easy to use and easy to setup. All in all it's very good and does what it should. Would have been 5 stars apart from the universal side fitting shield.

    Excellent unit, shame about the window kit..

    5/5
    It's taken a while, but AO finally got some stock of this product after many months of waiting and it hasn't disappointed. The box size make's the product out to be much larger than it is, the overall floor space requirement is acceptable, the exhaust pipe could be longer, but a suitable extension is not hard to source. Come's with all required accessories for all the different mode features it has. Operation wise, it's obviously not going to be silent, in fan mode it's no louder than a normal stand fan, it's when you have the cooling mode running and you hear the condenser kicking in and out that make's the most noise, it's an acceptable decibel level which I find does not wake us up. I've not used the de-humidifier or the heating function yet so cannot comment on them. The app I found to be completely hopeless, it wouldn't connect to the wi-fi let alone find the unit. Luckily you don't need it, as everything can be done on the control panel. The only issue I had. The unit comes with a window kit.. now this window kit separate is around £100.. It does not fit standard UK windows with a 45 degree angle on the window sash. It's designed for EU windows and UK Tilt and Turn sash's. It only fit's sashes with a 90 degree edge on them. So had to source an additional means of securing the pipe. The kit's gone back in the box, it may get used in the future. Overall would recommend.

    It’s Bing Chilling!

    5/5
    Overall I’ve got to say I’m very impressed with this product, it’s sleek and easy to use, the performance is wicked and it doesn’t make as much sound as I was expecting based on the other reviews here. I does get a bit loud when you first turn it on as the compressor kicks in, but a few minutes after that it’s pretty chill. We were happily watching TV and talking with each other with thing only a meter away, not too bad. The experience of getting is up and running can be a bit confusing as the documentation that comes with it is just picture based, so if you were hoping for written instructions, use the QR Code on the on the back of the installation guide, that will get you the manual. However it’s the app which actually has the most information and is actually super useful! We were initially curious about the hose it provides and the 3 hose connectors at the back (Not the duct, it’s a water hose), the app explains it under drain instructions (You don’t really need to worry about them until you use the unit for heating/dry modes for this model) The app itself is very easy to use and setup, once in you can remotely control the appliance, switch modes and change the setting for the air flap at the front (It can swing up and down to create a natural feeling breeze, I highly recommend having this switched on as it helps to cool the room even faster) The app even tells you the condition of the dust filters and will give you notifications on when to clean them! Now for the elephant in the room, power and it’s associated cost. I have energy monitoring systems and I had one setup for this unit so I could keep track of it (Tapo P110 Energy Monitoring plugs, highly recommend them!) My unit would peak at around 800W when turned on initially and slowly drop down to 700W as the room cooled. Depending on what your cost per kWh is use this formula, 0.75(Average power used by unit) x 0.28 (Replace this with your cost per kWh) For me this works out to about 22p per hour. I personally have a limit set to 4kWh per day I can run on this thing so I can have it running for a total of 5 hours per day, costing me just over £1 per day. Not too bad honestly! Seems that the higher cost of this unit is easily recouped by its very efficient energy usage! So yeah overall I am very impressed with this unit and would highly recommend it!

    Great cooling, easy to move on floor.

    4/5
    A large unit with great coasters, sound volume (bit loud) to be expected and the cooling breeze is perfect on a hot day. Have not used the other functions and the exhaust tube at 1.5m is too short, but that seems common with other Air Cons.

    Good conditioner, little bit noisy

    4/5
    We have this as a second unit, Pros - - can turn it on via wifi, comes with a window kit for normal open out windows side hinged - Very good amount of cooling very quickly. - Wheels are easy so it rolls on carpet well. Cons - - Very heavy, no way can you take it up and down stairs without some serious muscle. - The first has a remote control, this does not. - It was a real pain to connect to the wifi and took many attempts to get it right, could have been our broadband?? - The unit seems to have a built in fan rattle, maybe the filters, its ok but if you were sensitive it could drive you a bit nuts. - Large unit - make sure you measure well before purchasing Comes with a window kit I did not need, I would have preferred a cheaper unit.

    Big unit, but great cooling

    5/5
    Cools a medium-sized bedroom extremely well on those really hot days. The room we use it in has large west-facing windows and gets really hot, but with the blinds down and this on that room is the best in the house. Good all-round cooling as well, rather than just a stream of cold air in one spot. It's quite big and very heavy, so definitely don't plan to move it up and down stairs very often. It does make a bit of noise, but it's not too bad. The window kit it came with is only for certain types of windows so we couldn't use it, but we bought a generic kit online which works fine. Overall, it's a big improvement on a previous unit we had (which was slightly smaller and cheaper and worked best only if you sat in front of it) and very pleased we went for this rather than having very expensive built-in AC installed.
