This definitely is worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars So far it's great!!

I have only had the cool bus portable Air conditioner for a day , but I got a wonderful night's sleep last night using it in my bedroom . We live in a town house & the upstairs gets hotter during the day . We used to have to blast the AC ( which was one zone ) to get it cool enough upstairs . Last night with our cool bus AC unit we slept comfortably while keeping our whole house AC turned to a higher temp . We feel in the long run this will help save on our electric bill because we are no longer having it freezing downstairs to stay cool enough upstairs .I will start with delivery and packaging which was great . Our unit arrived in perfect condition .Set up ...was fairly easy . Be sure to have the vent hose fully uncrimped on the ends . This allows attachment for the unit and opposite end for the window attachment to go on easily . Basically it's pretty much ready except for the slide in window adjustment piece . My husband set it up but I could have done it &all you need is a screwdriver . We did set up a bucket for drainage , but after a whole night there wasn't any water . Be sure to set the unit upright in the box for 24 hours before attempting set up . The instructions say to do that .The unit is very sturdy and attachment pieces are as well . It has wheels to make it easy to move .Temperature control seems reliable and easy .I used the remote and it worked well . This unit has several options not only for AC but can just be used as a fan or dehumidifier. It cools very quickly & the air it blows is very cool & as if you were using a regular window unit .We had never used a portable AC before but for the price this seems like it was a good purchase for us .* Using it in the bedroom the display is bright but I just put a piece of paper on top to dim the light .Overall it is a perfect solution for us to keep our 12 x 15 bedroom comfortable.The dislplay is easy to read . As with any AC unit it does make noise going on & off but it's not disturbing .

Update: worked great for a few weeks, then one unit completely stopped working altogether for no apparent reason. We have tried turning in to warranty and can't even get a response. We sent an email and a complaint through Bolo and still nothing...The other unit still works but randomly decided to start leaking one night (we drain it to a 5 gallon bucket and empty the bucket as needed) when we woke up in the morning the bucket was dry and the water had leaked from the unit all over the floor instead and ruined our hardwood floors. So now we run it in a shallow tote but still drain to the bucket just in case that happens again. Either way, today we just decided to get a window unit and it cools a much larger square footage and no emptying buckets. Probably should've started with one but I hate blocking windows.Original review: This thing works amazing. We have two for our 1,100 sq foot main floor and we only run them on low during the hottest times of the day. They work well and very fast! I thought emptying the water would be a pain but after a week and a half we still haven't had to empty them. We haven't had many super hot days yet but the few we did have (upper 80's/low 90's and very humid, they worked great on those days as well! We have also been using the dehumidifier feature at night when it's cool outside and it has made a big difference in our humidity levels. After running one for one night our humidity levels went from 76% to 51%. Our windows were smaller than the window vent piece so we just cut it and it works great.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's an option.

It does work well and in comparison to others on the market this one would be my choice so far. It cools down the room two rooms, around 500-700 square feet. Keep in mind I am happy in 78-80 degree room (anemic)But the negatives are. Tube is awkwardly made and doesn't fit window flush also the sliding thing doesn't adjust to Fit smaller windows, my husband had to take the plastic to cut it for it to fit properly.I bought two of these, 1 of them the motor did not work so I had to do an exchange. Had no issues in getting a replacement, company shipped next day. I would suggest saving your box for a week or so just incase. It puts heat out of rear of the rear tube as all of them do, so it's not specific to this unit. I use white duck tape to secure a window seal. So it's not the best looking but is anything hanging out window the best looking? 🤷‍♂️Lastly, it's not a full vent, I feel like if the vent was larger it could probably cool a larger space. I use Tosot units for the remainder of the house but would recommend these the same. Additional note, the humidifier works well but the water reserve fills fast in my area like 1 hour absolutely max. It's hard to empty, you have to tip it. So I put it on a step and tip it over, definitely not ideal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect

Worked wonderfully. Got this in the summer and helped with the heat. Barely heard it at all. Instructions were easy to read and assemble
