  Almost perfect for what I want.
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 June 2021
  I should start by saying I have bought this for my shed that is now being used as an office.Originally I bought one of those cooking fans with the water and ice packs - they do absolutely nothing… might as well just buy a fan.Unfortunately with a shed a fan literally blows around warm air and even having the door open just ends up circulating warm fresh air.So I’ve opted for an air conditioning unit!Review:Pros…1. Price - it’s under £300 and at the time of buying Amazon offered 5 interest free instalments with next day delivery.2. Size - it’s small and compact and actually takes up less space than many of those cooling fans3. It works!…I was skeptical I could instantly feel the coolness.4. Multifunctional - can be used as a fan, as aid con, or as a dehumidifier5. Comes with a remote6. Comes with a window adapter kit (although useless for many who have windows that open outwards as it’s for windows you push up)Cons…1. It’s loud(ish)…for daytime use it’s absolutely fine and it’s what you’d expect for a fan and air con - I really wish it had a night mode or a slower fan speed.It states 65db which is the level of people talking and having a conversation - but less noisier than a busy road. (So if you want to use it at night you’d need to be a deep sleeper and be able to sleep through the sound level of people having a good old natter in your room)2. I lived in japan for 8 years - on normal air con the dehumidifier goes quiet as it’s just filtering the air of moisture…yet this continues to use the fan and makes the same amount of noise.3. If you have a window that doesn’t push up then the supplied window kit is useless.All in all it’s a decent unit that was under £300. It certainly does cool. (For those complaining it doesn’t go below 16 - normally you have it set to a few degrees below the actual temperature and you’d feel the coolness…there’s absolute no need to go below 16 degrees - this is an air con unit NOT a refrigerator)This is great for daytime use although might be noisy for some.I would NOT recommend this if you want to use it whilst sleeping.(Why Amazon is asking to rate the sleep mode I have no idea…it doesn’t have a sleep mode)

  Not worth the money
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 June 2019
  Pro's quite small, easy to set up, but its way too noisy even on low, and barely cools the air on lowest setting which is 16 degrees. Why it cannot go any lower I dont know. Would go for a different brand.

  A good flow of cool air.
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 September 2019
  This produces a good air flow of 320 Cu Meters (11300 Cu ft) per hour of cool air which is 11 degrees C below the incoming air temperature, so if the room is 25 deg C, then the output will be 14 deg C. the airflow is directed predominately to the left & center. I presume this is to direct the flow around the room to help with an even distribution. The noise level I measured at 60 db at 1 meter, which is a little below that specified (65 db) It is similar to our dishwasher running to give a comparison. People have mentioned that the hose is not long enough at 1.5 m. the answer to this is to extend it with 150 mm ducting hose which is the same diameter as the supplied hose and is easy to attach to the existing hose just by pushing one inside the other and tying round with string, no complicated adapters or connectors needed. This is available from a national tool store which sound a bit like train station, and is priced around six pound for three meters, longer lengths also available. When taking room temperature readings, make sure the thermometer is away from walls and surfaces which will influence the readings, preferably near the center of the room where a truer reading is more likely. Walls hold the heat and take a long time to cool down, I found a three to four degree difference between a wall thermometer and a temperature probe located in the center of the room. Running cost to me (my tariff is 16 p per kilowatt hour) works out at about 12 p per hour (780 watts) running continuously, or less if the thermostat kicks in, 10 hours £1.20, not bad for the amount it will get used in the UK. I am happy to pay that to remain comfortable during the hot weather.Update, I tried setting the timer for the first time in just over a year since purchased, the numbers set ok and the temperature but when allotted time arrived it did not switch on. tried again same thing and the yellow timer light was not staying on, only when setting up was the light illuminated. There is no mention in my inst book about any further procedure, however thinking about it it seems that the inputted info is not being stored, so tried a few things and low and behold if you hold the timer button down for a couple of seconds after setting the digits, then the yellow light stays on and the timer works as it should do. Later instructions may have corrected text of course, I hope this helps anyone who has had problems setting the timer up.

  Expensive fan
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 August 2019
  We left it running all day at the 16° setting, and it was only ever cool when standing directly in front of it - the room itself did not get any cooler. In fact, it felt hotter and stuffier, despite following all the instructions and keeping all the windows and doors closed.In the end, we returned it to Amazon, opened the windows and doors and used our cheap tower fan and it felt better than this unit ever did. It'll do for us until we receive a new air conditioner from a different brand.

  Perfect cooling!
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 June 2019
  This air conditioner is ideal for a 1 bedroom flat. A bigger apartment is more difficult to cool down. Silent, and cools very quick, ideal for the hot days. Would definitely recommend, well worth spending the money!

  Great for cooling, can be quite noisy.
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 January 2020
  This product is an amazing cooler. It is great for cooling my server room at certain times of day. However, it is important to note that the timer function does not work on loop, once it reaches the time it turns it on/off and forgets the timer programming. If you want it to come on at certain times of the day and off at others like me, I purchased a broadlink rm4c mini, which allowed me to set it up to send the ir signal from the remote to turn it on/off at certain times of day. It is also important to know that the unit can be quite noisy, so it noise is a big factor there may be other units, but I couldn't find any others that were quiter. Despite this, it does the job well and is GREAT value for money compared to many other units on Amazon.

  Does what it says on the tin
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 July 2019
  Delivers cool air however its reach is somewhat limited. In a reasonably large bedroom it dropped the temperature by 4 degrees centigrade when outside temps were 33 degrees however it took many hours to do this.Air direction control is also limited as vent only goes up and down however whole unit is on wheels so can be easily turned left and right.As with all these types of air con units, the hose is too short for most homes.

  Great for cooling single rooms.
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 September 2019
  This was purchased for my sister in the middle of our summer heatwave. She has an illness that makes it hard for her to use ordinary fans because the feeling of a breeze sets off extremely painful nerve reactions in her face.While this unit isn't going to cool a house, it cooled the bedroom beautifully, and did help lower the overall temperature in their one bedroom bungalow very slightly.This really is best used as a one room unit, so pick the room you wish to keep cool, and recognise this is a small unit, so as I said, it's not designed to cool an entire house.It was quick to set up because we ordered the window adaptor the same time... be prepared to add that to your costs.Running costs were not as bad as some units, and noise levels were bearable.

  Very good,
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 September 2021
  I have wanted an air conditioner for so long and I finally took the plunge! After several days of comparisons, reading reviews and the usual deliberating that I always do. I went with this one, it had many positive reviews and the main complaint was noise!In a nutshell, it's actually very good and zero complaints, the noise is as expected, I personally think it's okay, yes its noisy but no more than my large floor standing industrial type fan, the type that sits close to floor and has metal mesh case, it's got a smaller footprint and it actually cools the air, no more getting hit in the face with a warm wave of air!! Air is fired out the front but directed to the left side not straight ahead which I found strange, one reviewer here made fins to help send breeze forward instead of to the left, I think thats a good idea but where I have mine placed it's not necessary.Having finally got one I discovered the pipe at the back of the air conditioner is to pump the warm air gathered out of the room, I didn't know that, although it's obvious really, (I expected liquid or something, shows you how much I know about them). so it's very important to use an air conditioner in a sealed room, no open windows. It will still pump out cold air but the heat removed is actually rather warm and your room's temperature will not change too much.Controls are easy to use, it cools my room down nicely and I will have it for Years to come.So my advice is to bite the bullet and invest in an air conditioner, I'm happy I finally did and this one is probably as good as any at this price point. I was tempted to get a more expensive one but I doubt there will be much if any improvement.I've had it a few months now, moved it round the house and it's all good I noticed prices go up in heatwaves as demand rises, I was going to buy another but it had gone up by £80!
