Cools okay, but it produces insane waste heat and overheats quickly, causing it to stop cooling and just blow warm humid air, followed shortly by an error code. Turning off the machine and letting it cool down will reset it, but now everything is crazy hot again. The corrugated plastic hose and adapter click into either vent, but aren't sealed or insulated, so either your cool air escapes into the world, or your hot air exhaust escapes into your space.
The price is fair, and the A/C does work. The back side near the condenser gets pretty hot during operation. The included exhaust hose feels inexpensive and becomes very flimsy after about 45 minutes of use. I also had to duct tape the end cap to keep it from falling off.I tested it on a 99°F day while mowing yards. It brought the temperature inside my small extended cab Toyota down to around 80°F, although my temperature gauge batteries died, so I’ll need to do another test for more accurate readings.I placed a small fan behind the unit to help cool the condenser area, and it definitely helped. The back of the unit wasn’t as hot to the touch, and the fan also created a slight breeze that improved air circulation inside the cab.The unit isn’t especially heavy, but it can be awkward to position in a small space. I also found that running my truck’s factory A/C at the same time helped cool the cab initially, and once the temperature came down, this portable A/C did a good job of maintaining it. When the cold air is directed toward you, it feels surprisingly cold.I think this unit would perform even better if it were used in the shade or at night. I still need to finish insulating my setup and get everything mounted the way I want it. Once I’ve had more time to test it under those conditions, I’ll come back and update this review. Overall I am satisfied and have opportunity to fulfill more of my expectations.
Unit failed right out of the box. After letting it sit for a full day, i plugged it in and had a E6 error code. The company reached out to me and fixed the problem ...so 5 stars for them backing their product.
This little guy puts out cold air conditioning. I have it placed next to my power recliner which is located on my covered patio.Product is very easy to setup and use. It's heavy for my very weak arms but I won't be moving it around.Cold air conditioning is available whether the fan speed is on 1,2,or 3.It appears to be very reliable. Amazon shows that this product pairs easily with my Jackery 3600 solar generator. I will use the huge solar panels while charging and running this little guy if electricity goes out.The monsoon season arrives in a month. That means power outages during 115° plus temperatures.Again I am very impressed with this product.
Compact, affordable, reliable, and free since Amazon was so kind to refund me my money because I such a good customer. Thanks Amazon, and keep up the good products BougeRV
