Shinco 12,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner, Portable AC Unit with Built-in Cool, Dehumidifier&Fan Modes for Room up to 450 sq.ft, with Remote Control, 24 Hour Timer, Installation Kit

I bought this to add to my hurricane preparedness collection however 1 week after I bought it, my main AC broke, for 36 hrs. I placed this unit in our central main open space, plus the master bedroom and a guest room were left open, it was vented outside my sliding glass door, with two floor fans on low, knowing it was way too large of a space but having older rescue dogs, we did it anyway. We were able to maintain a comfy. temp of 78, I was amazed, dumfounded! It ended up running for almost 32 hrs, no problem. I was not expecting this to be such a good product and now that I can depend on it, I can worriless, it is nice to be able to trust as a solid back up option. I ran it for the whole 32 hrs, temp inside was maintained at a cool 78, with two fans to help circulation. It is not the quietest but not annoying. I woke up many times, during that first night to check the unit, thinking it was too good to be true, but it did not let me down. I keep it in my kitchen area, using the strong fan option on occasion, when I am cooking, baking or working on a project, and can flip it on AC if If I choose to. If you are looking for great interior AC for a good price, you can depend on this is it. Air flow: blows strong cool air Remote control: solid product not a toy Ease of installation: just plug in Size: 12000 BTU

I have to say, I’m impressed. I grew up with central a/c, so I was expecting sub-par cooling. But, no! This a/c unit is easy to set up (I did it between work meetings); portable (wheels make it so easy!); actually relatively quiet (I can run it at night and it’s like a loud fan); and it WORKS. I’m in bed right now, sleepily enjoying 73 degrees (F) when it could be 10-plus degrees hotter. I’m used to living in the Southwestern US, where air conditioning is a must. Am currently live in the Pacific NW, where “heat waves”’are a thing now. My upstairs apartment gathers all the heat during the day. No more! I’m SO glad I bought this. It’s really been a game-changer in terms of comfort and liveability. I do see what other reviewers say about the heat from the duct pipe (it does get warm!), but it’s not enough to heat the room substantially I don’t think. I also have a smaller window, so the plastic panel didn’t fit the entire width, even with expander. I just got a small piece of wood to fill in. Voila! - Instant cooling freshness. Great investment👌🏼 I’m so happy.

I bought this on June 12, 2024. Used it during June, July, August and September. Did not turn it on once until this week. It powers up, blows air, but does not cool whatsoever. I've done all the recommended troubleshooting, and it just blows air which is not the purpose of it. At this point it's just an oversized fan. How can you help address this problem. I suggest you make this easier for customers to provide feedback via Amazon website where all transaction details are already available. Update 6/3/2025 - Seller has over a few months to respond to the above request for support and they have failed to even offer a "we're sorry" this should be a sign of how this seller is going to treat you once you part with your money.

I purchased several of these while getting work done on our home, and for the most part, we've been pleased. The units offer easy controls, come with a remote, and look nice. It's as heavy as you'd expect for a unit of this capacity, and is fairly easily repositioned or rolled to other rooms. They aren't that loud compared to window units I've had previously, and are in line with good portable units I've gifted to others. They do a great job of cooling down a smaller space, and can operate in multiple modes, including cooling, fan, and 'drying' (quasi-dehumidifier). The only downsides are the high energy use (the $800 power bill was sobering) and while the unit does have a drain line, it's positioned low on the back of the unit and there's no pump, so you need to be mindful - either position it on something where it can drain out the same window as your exhuast, or face handling the humidity increase as it sneezes the condensation out. That said, it's nice that it can continue running even if the drain plug is left in. Do note that, inexplicably, the quite adjustable plastic air exhaust pieces don't accomodate the drain line. I ended up needing to put large pots or trashcans under the drain when in use and empty them every 12 hours. Still, they did exactly what we wanted and I recommend them.

A solid air conditioner that does its job. It has decent air flow and can help cool a room fairly quickly. It is a bit on the noisier side but honestly isn't to bad.

I'm using this in my toy hauler camper. The rear ac doesn't work so I got this to see if it works. So I was able to vent the ac unit out of my window, which is all you need to do. You do not have to drain this unit. I was draining it and read the directions and it says it runs more efficiently if you don't drain it. Well I tried it that way and to my surprise it worked great. I use it three or four days at a time when I'm camping and do not have to drain it. I've also found if you just run it on dry mode it works just as well or I think better than the cool mode. I would definitely recommend this ac unit. I got the 12000 BTU unit and it cools the back of my camper just fine. Also I live in Florida and been using it all summer so I would say that's a pretty good test.
