ZAFRO 8,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioners Cools up to 350 Sq.ft, Portable AC Built-in Cool, Dehumidifier, Fan Modes, Room Air Conditioner with Remote Control/Installation Kits, White

I have two of these units. One purchase in April 2024 and one in May 2024. One is in my daughter's room and the other is in my office on our 2nd floor. They arrive in excellent packing. The one box had been through it a bit in transit, but the packing made that a non-issue. Getting the units out of the box is very easy as you can snip the strapping and simply pull the box up and off of the unit. Getting the units into position was as simple as rolling them into place as the wheels on the bottom of the unit roll and spin with ease. I have both units placed near each room's window. The windows are not typical as they do not open terribly wide. That was no issue as the window adapter is able to slide to fit. As my windows are not 'typical' I did have to fit, mark, and they use my saw to trim so the opening for the hose was fully open. I could have left it and installed but I wanted to be sure there was full airflow so I trimmed it. Once the window kit was in I just had to tighten the wingnut and all good. I discovered for my windows, attaching the hose needed to happen before the window kit was in place so you should maybe check if the same is for you before completing the window kit install. The hose connection did take a little wiggling and finessing, but it is not hard, just have to be patient. Once I had them setup and all of the packing and tape removed, I fired up the units and they began to cool the space immediately. Both spaces using the units are over 300 square feet and it does not struggle one bit keeping them cool. My daughter likes an ice box so hers is set to 67 while I am between 70-73 for my settings. It cools the rooms right down and when they hit the setting temperature will turn on and off to maintain. I have a thermometer in my office and it is right on with that for temperature. The only thing that is a drawback (I knew this going into purchase) is the drain. I have a bucket with the drain hose empting into those as I cannot drain out of the window due to the height of my window from the floor and the hose placement. That as I said I knew would be the case before I purchased, so I jut have to make sure that when I am done my work day I turn off the unit and dump the water replacing the bucket emptied. My daughter has had one 'oops' moment and a rug had to be replaced, but she is on top of it now. All in all if I needed a 3rd air conditioner that was portable and did not take up allot of space, I would purchase this air conditioner in a heartbeat.

It's reliable and didn't cost a lot. It's great at cooling, but it's a noisy bugger. I had to buy another water hose to run the line outside. I'd buy it again.
