Testimonial

"I am using these a temporary ac units in the back of 3 of my fast food restaurants. We decorate ice cream cakes in those areas and if it is too warm, the cakes start to melt. These units do a great job cooling the air. I installed them a 6 inch insulated hose that works way better than the provided white 6' hose. I also installed a 6" dryer vent and am venting the line outside. It is amazing how much heat these things reject. They are doing exactly what I was hoping they would do. - If you do use the provided hose, be sure to secure it to the back of the unit with some type of tape. Hot air escapes where the hose is and this make the unit very inefficient. A bad hose connection design, but it can be remedied fairly easily. Good unit overall. I currently have three units in 3 separate locations. I have had them now for more than a month and they have been used non-stop. I will let you know if anything comes up with them." - Anthony

Testimonial

"I have purchased several different brands of portable air conditioners; Pinguino & Sylvane . This is almost ideal. Only requires a single vent out the window (I've had dual hose). It is much smaller in size which means it takes up less space, so when entering the room it isn't the first thing you see. I love that it is fully self evaporating; which means no inconvenient water tube to be emptied into a bucket every how many hours. It cools my bedroom which is approximately 12x15- temp in NYC of late about 90F hot and humid. No sticky humidity in my room either. Noise level, on par with other portables. Doesn't stop my hubby from watching tv and falling asleep with the remote in his hand- same ole, same ole. lol Bottom line- I like it and so far, it's great!" - Mitsuko

Testimonial

"Wow! Never has a product changed my life for the better so much as this portable AC. I had 4 fans going in my room constantly until I pulled the trigger and order this beauty. I just received it today, it was the easiest to install. No hassle and very intuitive to put together. I was a bit overwhelmed by the thought but once I took it out of the package it was pretty clear how to get it assembled. The window kit was painless and fit perfectly. It's very adjustable to whatever type window, vetical or horizontal. The noise is not too loud for a small bedroom and I feel it's instant cooling effects. I am very pleased and hope that it continues to work like a charm all throughout the hot and humid Hawaii summer. Thanks Shinco and Amazon!" - Kim

Testimonial

"When this AC first arrived, I was worried about the results because I saw many negative yet some positive reviews. I didn’t know what to do. Now, I’m glad I bought this AC. It may seem too cheap to be worthy of 14k BTU but trust me, this puppy don’t play. The best thing about it is that there is no negative pressure, it simply converts inside heat to inside cool air while blowing hot air outside. It’s literally feather touch enabled. I slid my finger across the panel and it recognized every action I wanted it to make. Even better, it came with a remote so I can stay a couch potato if I want to be a coach potato. I haven’t tried the heat yet hence the winter season is coming but it’s still blazing hot here. I will revise this review as I continue using this unit. So far, 5 stars for design, customization, originality, ease of control, and the sleek metal appeal that has me at awe. Get it while you can!" - Eko

Testimonial

"Since I'm bending the rules on the practical use for this thing, I think a fair review is due. I bought this to cool off our 600 sq ft garage for a couple of reasons. (1) I didn't want a window unit hanging out of our new home we built in Oct 2017. (2) We had a stray male cat take up with us a few months back and he's not allowed in the house because our 17 year old female cat says...NO WAY. So "Cletus Ledbetter" the male cat comes in at night to his cozy little cat cave, aka the garage. We live on the coast in Southeast Ga and let me tell you it gets HOT and HUMID down here...ya'll. So at 96 degrees and 85% humidity it's a wee bit uncomfortable in the afternoons. (Meanwhile back at the review) This little unit actually keeps our uninsulated garage at a very pleasant temperature. I also have 3 small fans running 24/7 to keep the air circulated. Now granted it's not going to drop it down in the 70's but last I checked it was 82-83 when it was 94 outside. We normally turn it off late night and crank it back up in the mornings. With the humidity here I find it's best to drain the holding pan every 2 days. The unit isn't over the top noisy as some have suggested, but when I'm in the garage I have the music on anyway. Yep this little unit is doing OK. Cletus the cat is in from his morning hunt and stretched out in nap mode. So I guess it's a keeper." - JT

Testimonial

"This portable air conditioner works perfectly in my own room. Once the AC was arrived , I can’t wait to install it because my house temperature was not even. My room is farther down the hallway , so my room is always hotter than any other rooms. If I turned it down the ac then other complain too cold . So , I decided to have my own additional Portable AC to put in my room. This AC is very easy install and comes with a remote control to adjust the temperature. Not too noisy and very convenient to use. The little down side is you probably have too dump the water often . But it’s all right , all I care is cooling in my room and relaxing ." - Peralta

Testimonial

"We purchased a fixer upper home in Dec 2016 where the people before us smoked inside. It was a fixer upper, so we removed all flooring, about half of the sheetrock and painted every remaining surface of the home within 2 months (minus the internal doors). We aired the house out almost continuously (weather permitting) and the cigarette smell lingered- especially when we'd go away for a weekend and it was closed up. Finally in June 2017 before the Texas summer, I purchased two purifiers - this XL one for the open concept living room/ kitchen area and a smaller one for the baby's room. Within 4 weeks there was an amazing difference and within 6 weeks, the odor was completely gone. I am sold! I chose the wi-fi option to enable me to turn it up on high when we left the house or went to bed. (I could manually set it before leaving, but I'm usually in a rush to get out the door with two kids in tow and I forget). It notifies me when I need to rinse the pre-filter (which takes a minute in the kitchen sink and maybe 30 minutes under a ceiling fan to dry). Its taken much more abuse from my kids than I ever intended it to see - but its been 3 months and this purifier is still working as well today as the day we received it. The silent mode is truly silent, the turbo mode is truly turbo, and there are 3 settings in between. The light on the front can be set to indicate the "pollution level" in your home - it goes up when you cook, haha - or can be turned off to be less enticing to small children. I really could not be happier with this machine. It was expensive, but its worth every penny to finally have a fresh smelling house." - Becky
