VAGKRI 14,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner, 3-in-1 AC with Fan & Dehumidifier, Cools up to 700 Sq.Ft, Energy Efficient AC Unit with Remote Control, Sleep Modes, 24H Timer for Bedroom, Room, Office

This saved my summer! I bought this AC unit because our central air had gone out, leaving our apartment dangerously hot. The landlord completely ignored us all early summer, and the July heatwave was the final straw.It says 700sqft, but managed to make over 900ft feel nice and cozy. Our livingroom dropped 4 degrees in an hour, and was comfortable after 3 hrs. After a day, the entire 3br apartment was cool.Some things to note:The window panel is hard to finagle at first. Attaching it to the hose seems easy, until it's time to seal it in the window. It doesn't lock in, it just kind of barely holds it there. So when you close the window, the hose will pop out a little. Make sure you have the panel and hose sealed tight or it'll just blow hot air back into the house.If you find it isn't cooling or the temperature is suddenly rising, make sure you check on that seal. The easiest way is to hold your hand in front of the panel and move along the length to see if you feel any warm air. If you do, the panel needs to be readjusted.It moves a lot of air really fast. It is a little loud, because it's a big unit. I have to have it on sleep mode when I sleep near it, or it'll wake me up as it turns off and on. However, you can barely hear it from a room away. The sound is just the sound of fast moving air though. It doesn't vibrate or go berrrrrrrrrrrrrr like some I've used before, which is nice.It's really heavy in the box, but the actual unit has handles and wheels, making it super easy to move once unpacked.It's not going to reach through closed doors. These seems like common sense, but I definitely made the mistake of closing my bedroom door for hours (when the unit was in the living room) and the temperature jumped up FAST. It'll keep the ambient temp low, so it didn't get as hot as it would've, but make sure you keep airflow going to any place you want cool.The panel is designed for windows that are flush. If the window closes below the windowsill, you'll need something underneath to lift it up a bit. Otherwise the hose will pop out. We ended up cutting a 2×4 to put underneath it to create a flush surface. It worked like a charm!Tldr: Unit is amazingly powerful, can cool a 3bdroom apartment in 24hrs, a little loud, and is tricky to install. It's not hard, but you really have to pay attention to make sure hot air isn't coming back into the house. The panel and hose connection could definitely be more secure. Cons included, this unit still outperforms my expectations. It's 101°f outside, but 68° in here!!!

This was such a HUGE game changer!I dont have central AC at the house, so I did some research and ordered this unit...let me tell you I'm glad I did!The packaging was VERY secure so it took a little work getting it our of the box. It's heavy too, so you may need second person to help.All in all it took about half an hour to set up. The quality of this product is a 5. I set it up exactly as the instructions read and had it going thr first night. There is a little "white" noise but its manageable...similar to any AC or heating unit. You'll definitely need to monitor the drup bucket depending on how warm it is. The more you run the AC in warmer temperatures the more condensation you will see dripping into the bucket you need to have set up. Thr remote is pretty self explanatory and easy to use. Tepm controls are very efficient. There hasn't been any leakage other than what supposed to drip from thr provided hose. If you READ THE INSTRUCTIONS and properly maintain the unit, its should last for quite some time. Its built pretty tough! 5s all the way!My bedroom has gone from a searing 90 plus to a cool 68 in not time! This is a SOLID BUY!

Update 5/28/24 with original review below:After 7 months of back and forth in email, I have finally received a resolution. I sent a video and they were able to identify it as a panel issue. They sent a replacement panel. They had me hire an electrician that I paid for out of pocket at $155. They agreed to refund the amount. I will update the notes here if I receive a successful refund. The panel did fix the problem right away and the electrician was able to put the unit back together no problem. They sent step by step instructions with pictures for the panel replacement that were very helpful. The unit blows cold again instantly and responds to the remote as well as the touch panel. My only complaint now is that I wish it hadn’t taken this long to get a resolution.Original review:WASTE OF MONEY. BUY SOMETHING ELSE. BROKE AFTER 2 MONTHS. VAGKRI WON'T HONOR 1 YEAR WARRANTY.Stopped work after 2 months. It took forever to install it properly in our window. We had to make our own board to close the window since what they provided didn't work. We have a normal sized window. It worked great and pumped cold air but DEFINITELY not 700 square feet. It was struggling to keep one bedroom cold enough. We live in San Diego. It doesn't get that hot outside. Then, it just stopped working. Once day we went to turn it on and it is completely unresponsive. The dust cover opens then closes again when unplugged and re-plugged in. It doesn't respond to the touch controls or the remote. We bought in July 2023. Email support in November 2023. No response. Submitted a help ticket via amazon in January then finally got a response. We sent a video to Vagkri and they said it was the panel. There are no appliance repair or air conditioned repair that will work on a portable unit so nobody could help. We told them they could arrange for someone to come and fix it instead of reimbursing us for it but they just stopped responding. We just submitted to Amazon for their warranty team to investigate and provide us a full refund. WASTE OF MONEY. BUY SOMETHING ELSE.

We are still getting to know this machine, but we’ve had it for like two weeks and it happen to come in in the hottest day of the year. The hardest part was getting the venting out the window. We’re going to go to Home Depot and buy a longer drainage hose because I hate having a bucket in the middle of the room. So it cools off my whole downstairs. I don’t live in a very big home, but we leave the air conditioner on upstairs in the air compressor conditioner on down here and the whole house feels nice and cool was well worth the money it runs good it’s quiet and now after the initial running of this, the water has tapered off there’s hardly any water now and I love it because it’s portable. I would definitely buy this again.
