Pro Breeze® 12000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner - Smart Home WiFi Compatible with 24-Hour Digital Timer, Smart Display & Window Venting Kit Included - Air Conditioning Unit for Home & Office

The media could not be loaded. Nice compact unit, very efficient, easily cooling a room with area just about the size quoted, have not tried it in a bigger room but seems like it would cope. Comes with a hard plastic vent kit for sliding sash window which could be left in place and still be secure and a Velcro and fabric kit for hinged casement windows which is only useful in an occupied home as it could be removed from outside and access gained. We have bought extra Velcro and can fairly easily move the kit from room to room if required and a longer 150mm diameter extractor hose so it doesn't need to be so close to the window. The power lead is about 2 metres. The controls are straightforward on the unit and by the supplied remote. Wifi app control is even easier. It was a doddle to connect to Alexa and we mostly use voice commands. Has two fan speeds, the option to circulate air only and a separate option for de-humidifying which we have yet to try. The fan is pretty powerful and subsequently quite loud. Having said that, we both manage to sleep with it running. There is a sleep function which turns the cooling down after an hour and then off later, but keeps the fan running. We just tell Alexa to "turn the aircon on for an hour" though. It can be programmed through the unit, app or Alexa to come on at a certain time. Very pleased

So the recent heat convinced me to finally pull the trigger on getting a portable ac. If I lived in a house and not a flat I think I’d have just drove myself mad installing a proper wall one with an external compressor but this is the best I can do in my flat.I did my research around these before buying and they’re a bit odd really cause none of them have super great reviews, always very mixed. The issue that is most common with these (that I’m not sure how could be avoided because there are so many loud parts to an ac and you’ve got it all in your room) is noise. This is loud, there’s no two ways about it. For me I can sleep fine with it and actually quite like the white noise but I could sleep through a bomb going off. Most people will struggle with it, it’s a dull droning with occasional assorted louder sounds. When you have the temp control on and it switches the ac part on and off it’s sometimes fairly quiet, sometimes sounds like a car door closing. Personally none of this bothers me and seems ubiquitous to these units, something to be aware of though.As for the cooling it’s not as good as I hoped, getting down to 16 degrees is a hope and a dream I feel but it’s still quite good. Went from 28 to 21 degrees in a couple of hours, then 20 steadily. Haven’t tried to go lower than that cause it feels colder than that with the circulating cold air. From how the temp drop slows though I’m sceptical of getting to 16 if it was running all day. Temp drops fairly steady, but once the ac part turns on (warms up for a min) the air is ice cold and even if the ambient temp hasn’t dropped loads yet that circulating cold air makes it feel much colder than it is. This is using it in a medium sized bedroom with the door closed.Included window seal for hinged windows is ugly but they have a YouTube vid for putting it on that’s helpful. Not hard to do and seals decently. I found a site online to get a Perspex window sheet with a cutout so might do that down the road.Overall I’m pretty happy with it. It’s loud, expensive and it doesn’t cool quite as well as I’d hoped, certainly not as well as a proper wall mounted system but it’s still quite good. It made the suffocating heat in my flat (atleast my bedroom where I have it) a comfortable cool, walking out of my room and back in with it on you can feel the huge difference even when the thermometer says it’s only lowered a few degrees.Definitely need to know what you’re getting into if you buy it but I like it. Haven’t used the app but the remote works well.

It’s small, looks neat, it’s not as heavy as I thought it would be. Easy to move around with the wheels and to install and put it together.I wish the power cable would be much longer, is just about enough, You need to have socket next to the window or use extension. Hose itself is extendable, but also could be tiny bit longer.It isn’t quiet, you will definitely notice it working but it’s not overwhelming. You can get used to it during the day. Most people won’t be able to use it during the night tho. Cool the bedroom before you go to sleep is the way to go. It’s too loud the sleep with it on. It’s also the same loudness if you not using AC but e.g. just a fan, which I don’t quite understand.Performance wise is very good or alright, depending where you gonna use it. I have kitchen with living room together (29sqm) with 2,3m height and it cools it but with a lot of effort. On mildly hot day (24C outside) it took 2 hours to go from 26 to 23 ( AC set to 16).But also it may be to me having casement windows with just had some fabric for hose insulation, which is as effective as the bar for sliding windows. Plus I can fully close my blinds while the windows are open which fights with effectiveness of the unit.In the bedroom tho (18sqm) does the job very very well. Was 23C outside, 25.5C inside and it made bedroom 18C in just over an hour. And it just had the hose outside the window, no seal (the fabric one is such a pain to install on casement widows opening inwards).So yea, if you room is is over 25sqm it may take some time to lower the temperature. Under that and with easy heat extraction it will work brilliantly.But very happy with the product. And it costs just over £200! Just fab, fab, fab!

As a woman of a certain age I get a bit overheated on the odd hot day we have in this country. I bought this when the price was reduced and it arrived on the first day of our 4 day summer. Perfect for instant cooling. In the bedroom it took less than 10 mins to drop the temp 6 degrees. Had it in the top landing too one day as I work upstairs and it kept at a steady 20 degrees no problem. Very loud on full fan but it didn’t really bother me. Worth thinking about tho. Does have a sleep mode which is quieter but we didn’t need it overnight. I did buy a longer hose from eBay to give us more flexibility and I stick that out the window with the curtain closed round it. Not used the window fixer yet as we move it around which is really easy on its wheels. Quite heavy so takes both of us to take it up and down stairs if we ever need to. Has a remote which is great but I love that it connects to an app on my phone as I am a techy geek.
