Horrible! Do not buy!!!
This didn’t cool my 100 sq. Ft. room. AT ALL! It didn’t go below 82!! It would make a good heater. Maybe they should rebrand. I don’t understand how they’re even allowed to sell this. They should pay me for the trouble of hauling this upstairs and back down.

We are sorry to hear this ! Our units work best in enclosed, well insulated spaces. Room environment conditions such as ceiling height, sunlight, number of windows/ doors and level of insulation can affect cooling efficiency and there are ways to increase the capacity of these units. There could be other reasons for the unit to not cool- temperature setting could be too high, or the exhaust hose may need re-installation to avoid the heat from coming back into the room. Please do give us a call at 1-800-474-2147, Monday - Friday 8:30 AM - 5:30 PM (EST), or send us an email at usinfo@jmatek.com with the reference code number THA0821. We look forward to making this right for you. Thank You ! JMATEK

    The tube is way too short. If you have a couch in front of your window, it's a scramble to fit it next to it. They would not provide extensions and threat you that waranty will be canceled if you do so. The "adapter" for sliding window" does leave a lot spacing in between and the hot air gets in as it's blown out, ironically. The tube and the head of the tubing that leads out does not screw in properly and leave gaps, and again, blows the very same hot air right back in. I had to duct tape most of the window area around it. Looks lovely.

    We are sorry for the inconvenience caused to you because of this portable air conditioner. The length of the exhaust hose is determined, keeping in mind the amount of air it can expel and we do not recommend lengthening it. Depending upon the size of your windows, you may have needed to seal the open gaps when installing the window venting kit. Our customer support team will be able to assist you with the installation of the window bracket, as well as the exhaust hose. Please do give us a call at 1-800-474-2147, Monday - Friday 8:30 AM - 5:30 PM (EST), or send us an email at usinfo@jmatek.com with the reference code number THB0820. We look forward to making this right for you. Thank You ! JMATEK

    Thank you for your review! We're happy to hear you're satisfied with the performance of our Honeywell Portable Air Conditioner, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. Our units work on self evaporation and do not need to be emptied, unless operating in very humid conditions. Honeywell portable air conditioners make use of dual motor technology, making them quieter than most others in the market.

    Very easy set up. However, my apartment window is smaller than the two plates that need to attach to place at the window, so I ended up using one plate and creating a make-shift end of the other plate with cardboard. I would just measure your window dimensions properly before ordering this.

    Thank you for your review! We're happy to hear you're satisfied with the performance of our Honeywell Portable Air Conditioner, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. If the size of your windows is larger than the window bracket and its extensions, you may want to consider our sliding glass door kits. These are available for sale separately and not included with the unit. Please feel free to write to us at usinfo@jmatek.com for any assistance or information from our customer support team.

    I’m using my portable air conditioner to cool a 180 sf space and it works great. 10,000 BTUs are just right or more than enough.The Honeywell was very easy to unpack and install. It is very quiet even on the higher fan speed.

    It works it gets my bedroom cool but that’s about it. It is pretty quiet compared to other models I’ve had but it doesn’t seem to push the cool air without help form an additional fan plugged in making it hard to cool more than my small bedroom.

    GOOD SO FAR
    Good so far. Take a while to cool down the room. Would have been better if insulation tapes for windows were included. The whole purpose of home delivery is so you don’t have to go to store. Also, the remote control doesn’t have led light. So can’t see the remote functions at night. Come on now? Really? Very stupid idea. But good overall.

      This air conditioner cools my room so fast and it stays exactly the temperature at which I set it even when it's 100 degrees out and the sun is shining directly in my huge windows. It was the easiest installation of any appliance I've ever done.It's a little louder than I anticipated but very reasonable; quieter than my housemate's wall unit.I honestly couldn't live without it!

      Works like a charm. My window was a bit narrow for the vent cover, but after sawing it down it fits fine. It’s able to cool my master bedroom fairly quickly after I turn it on. Highly recommend for rooms without AC.
