Shinco 8,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner, AC Unit with Built-in Cool, Dehumidifier & Fan Modes for Room up to 200 sq.ft, Conditioner Remote Control, 24 Hour Timer, Installation Kit

Purchased in 2019 for use during summer in Alaska. Moved to Texas in 2024 and after 1 year of almost daily use, it's still going as strong! The exhaust tube was replaced, a generic one purchased and retrofit on to ends from the old tube. No drainage, easy to vacuum and a very sensitive surge protector on the plug. The plug usually resets itself and it seems to go off a split second before other items or a power outage. I've rolled it around on carpet without issue. I can't say anything bad about this unit, it's been my saving grace in Texas

I work from home using one bedroom as a home office. The room is upper floor and faces south west so it gets the afternoon sun. Also computers can add a degree or 2 to room temperature and so its quite warm in summer.8000 btu unit works great making the room very comfortable. On cool you can select your temperature and it will get there and turn off and then back on again if it needs to.As it seems a little noisy I was afraid it would be too loud if I have web meetings but I have a decent headset and coworkers say they dont hear anything. so if you are in that situation do not worry.I have been using it a couple weeks and I am quite happy. It was worth the purchase for sure. Even though a little noisy because it does not interfere with my work at all and works great I am giving it 5 stars

I couldn’t find any reviews comparing this air conditioner to a window unit. I’d like to share that I’ve only had my unit for a little over a weeks now but so far I really like it. At my apartment complex, they do not allow window units without a special permission and I didn’t want to go through that trouble so I went ahead and purchased this portable unit, that didn’t take any altering to my window aside from the panel to vent air. This portable unit is just almost just as cold as the kind that sit on the window sill. I was worried that it wouldn’t be the same type of cold but it’s very comparable!!!! I’m so happy it takes about 30 mins the first time you turn it on to completely get cold and work full capacity but after that it’s cold as soon as you turn it on. The remote is very convenient. It was very easy to install. It took me about 20 minutes. the window attachment for the vent has a clip which allows it to hold in place once you adjust to the size/length you need. This made installation so fast and easy. NO TOOLS REQUIRED!!! I will say it is quite noisey compared to other units I’ve used in the past. It can be a bit annoying in times when you prefer no noise. I’ve caught myself a few times needing to shut off the unit because I get annoyed by the noise which is one of the downsides.I just moved to an upstairs room and it gets soooo hot now so I bought this. i need to make sure my dog is ok when I leave for work. This does the job and keeps my room chilly. It’s soooo worth it and the wheels make it easy to move around and it looks of quality. I’ll say it again, this unit is pretty much just as good as the window units. It gets CHILLY 🥶❄️ try it!!

I bought an expensive name brand portable ac unit 2 years ago it is 14,000 btu but would not cool the very small, open floor, home I live in. I have health issues that cause me not to do well with heat and when temperatures outside hit 100+ degrees and my home cannot cool below 90° that sends me in the hospital.This little Shinco ac 1200 btu is AMAZING! I really could not afford to buy it but so glad I did. It was easy to install ( I did need help) but it took less than 30 minutes. The longest part was the sliding glass door kit however, that is because the door is old and some what crooked. The end result -- 108° outside and 72° inside, making 4 dogs, 3 cats, and mama all happy!

I have central ac but I put it in my bedroom so I don't have to cool the whole house down at night for sleeping. Does a good job for that. At first it was a little noisy, like an air-conditioner in a hotel, but now I don't even notice. I like it, works for me.

I bought this 3 years ago, but it only made it 2 years. The tubing that connects this ridiculously heavy unit to the window broke the first year. I was able to use it with Duct tape the 2nd year, but then it completely broke. It was painfully loud, and never shut off, even at the right temp setting. It gets 3 stars only bc it cooled my bedroom. Also, a nightmare to install. Had to cut the side flaps with an electric saw (not in my wheelhouse as a single girl) to fit my window. Also huge, ugly and an eyesore.

This is a smaller unit overall than the others I’ve had. I like that it turns off when the room hits the set temp. The big glaring issue is the noise. This thing is easily 30% louder than my last rosewill unit. Also when it kick on and off it will wake me out of a deep sleep it’s that bad. Either I can’t find it or there isn’t a quiet/night mode. Huge drawback otherwise it would be a great unit.
