Portable Air Conditioner 318S, 8000 BTU ASHRAE (5000 BTU DOE) Smart AC Unit for Bedroom with Drainage-free Cooling, Fan&Dehumidifier 3 in 1, APP/Voice/Remote, Quiet Standing AC for Room Indoors

Single best purchase ive made all year! I have a very small 11x13 room that was converted from an office to a bedroom. It does not have a hot air return vent and the vent delivering the cold air is poorly implemented giving me about 10% of the air flow the rest of the house's vents get. I also have a PC that stays on a lot in this room that leaves the room hovering around 80 degrees at all times. This unit was worth every penny. It knocks my 80 degree room down to 68 in minutes, is multiple times quieter than the old window unit I had last year, works much better than my window unit since the radiator is in a window well. Since this just exhausts the heat to the window well instead of relying on the air in the window well for cooling the radiator the performance is that much better than a window unit in my case. It was incredibly easy to install compared to my window unit, and the app control and temperature readout from the app are such a nice luxury. If you have a small room in a basement with poor ventilation and a window well, this unit is perfect for you. Ive had it running for 50 hours now and havent had to drain it a single time. Im absolutely in love with this unit.

This is a very good portable air conditioner. It is a premium product. Nice looking. Hence the price. It does blow air very strong but it is relatively quiet averaging around 40 -42 db from a few feet away. The sleep mode makes it even quieter. It has an eco mode supposedly for efficiency but didn't find it to be effective. The best feature is that it pauses and goes silent when it reaches pass its target temperature long enough just like you'd see from an HVAC. Somehow, I was not getting this during eco mode. As it gets close to reaching its target temperature, it gets less noisy. So it depends on how hard it has to work. I think this would be best in a room that is no more than 200 sq ft., although it can work further than that without a problem, it'll just take longer for it to reach its goal, if you're looking for it to be quiet sooner and silent. The app for the phone is very helpful too! You can control it remotely even outside your house, showing the temperature in the room it's been working with, and when it's time to clean it. All said, I wish Dreo had an inverter version because I'm in Houston and this may not stand well in the harsh summer heat. I'll just be hearing it working hard all day long.

excellent- goes together quickly - cools very quickly and can be easily linked to a smart phone. nice to have the remote control ( doesnt come with batteries). comes with 2 types of insulation strips for around the window opening. My window width is pretty small and i couldn't use the window panels as is since one panel would be covering up part of the exhaust duct hole. I measured the window opening and cut off 2" of the "A" plastic panel on the end with a small hacksaw and now it fits perfectly. Easy to cut. It slides with a wing nut with panel "B" so you can adjust it (and it comes with several extra panels that you can put together for the window opening if you need). It is Sturdy and on wheels that are already attached. The unit itself as shipped is heavy in the box- i am an older woman and i could just barely get it in the car and needed someone to take it up a flight of stairs. One thing i noticed is that the exhaust duct on the exterior has a grate cover but probably easy for a bug to get in it. i am investigating whether a piece of nylon mesh over the end would be a good idea. also even though its on a second story building it feels a bit unsafe security-wise; with the traditional a/c window unit i didnt worry about someone removing it to come through the window. I purchased some sash window locks from amazon that need no drilling- they go in the tracks and are tightened with a key. that should help.

Ac quality is excellent. The cooling power ia also excellent. The sturdiness and fit of construction is excellent. The quietness of operationg is excellent. But is only fair with humid air extraction. I do recomend this very much.

Best air conditioner I've ever owned. Had never heard of this brand, but the very uncommon high percentage of good reviews, and the fair price, led me to try this model out. Over the last 21 years, I've owned 7 air conditioners. Two were window units and 5 were portable units with exhaust hose. Until I got this Dreo unit just over 3 months ago of a HOT summer, the window units I had were traditionally always more effective at cooling a room than the portable units. Heck, 3 of the 5 portable units I owned didn't even produce cool air after less than a couple weeks of use. And prior to the Dreo, the other one I owned made it thru 3 summers, but didn't get all that cold, despite being a 10k BTU unit and the Dreo I got is only 8k BTU. But it gets COLD, and VERY fast. This 8k BTU Dreo portable unit puts out colder air than all 6 of the previous AC units I've owned. And those used more power too, 10k BTU each. The "swing" feature is also VERY effective at wafting the cold air all over the room, without need of a separate fan to move it all around. Very, very effective unit. The Android app is great; easier to use than the remote control, especially in the dark. I also like how you can turn off the unit's display completely, and the chime sound, to maje it easier to sleep. And the "sleep" setting is actually to make the compressor quieter and turn off and on again less frequently, making it easier to sleep thru.

Ok peeps, I hardly write reviews but I’m really impressed with this purchase! I live in So Cal - not really big needy on A/C, but yes summers are getting more humid than when I was a kid. Pair that with living in a 100 yr old building without central air (but pooled electric bill!) and I decided this was the year for shopping in this dept. I did a LOT a research, read a lot of reviews, parsed the pros & cons, and especially the prices. I wanted a unit that people rated the remote control & cooling as pros, I wanted to be able to control with an app when not home (to keep cat safely cool.) While there was a unit that was *slightly* better than this, the price on this unit made it a clear winner. When it arrived (thanks Amazon driver for bringing the box up the elevator to my door!!) all I had to do was lift the outer box off the styrofoam/particle board base, assemble the window slats and go! The remote sticks magnetically to the top of the unit, great because I use the app more often. It cools so quickly and covers a lot of sq ft!!! I love the fact that I can also use all the same functions on the front of the unit, if I’m running out the door, I can just tap it. 3 fan speeds + auto on the A/C, so there’s plenty of options. I may even try the dehumidifier if the traditional San Diego June gloom goes further into July! I don’t find it particularly loud, and I live in a corner studio. I’m used to it, it has become like a louder white noise. Can still watch tv and talk on the phone just fine. Super portable: I know it’ll roll into my closet just fine for storage. Bonus: about 2 months after I started using it, I realized I didn’t have the drainage hose to use with the dehumidifier function. I contacted DREO customer service - thru the app! Even the manual is available thru the app, so you can just recycle that paperwork! I asked if they could give me the dimension of the hose so I could buy a new one at my hardware store. Tina w their customer service had one at my door 3 business days later at no charge!! This is a really good product, I know it’ll last. I put it on a 3rd party payment plan and am so happy I splurged on this (it was a splurge in that I’m taking a few months to pay for it.) Trust my research, my frugal nature, and my recommendation here, you won’t be let down!

I absolutely love this DREO Portable Air Conditioner. It’s honestly one of the best portable AC units I’ve owned to date. I use it in a finished basement, which has always been tricky to cool properly. In the past, I’ve struggled with other portable ACs not keeping up, especially because the exhaust hose itself becomes a heat source. Even when the unit is technically sized correctly, that hose can undo a lot of the cooling work. With previous models, I even bought insulation for the hose to try to compensate, but they still never quite delivered the performance they advertised. One of the features on this unit is the automatic swing for the air output. At first I wasn't getting the performance I expected and so I figured well I'll try the automatic swing and it made all the difference in the world. I had thought it was just kind of a gimmick, but as I read about what it's actually doing (from outside resources) I found why it makes the difference it does. This one actually does what it claims. It cools the space effectively and maintains the temperature without constantly feeling like it’s fighting a losing battle. The airflow is strong, the unit runs reliably, and it doesn’t feel like it’s straining all the time. I’ve only used it for one season so far, but up to this point it’s been wonderful. If it continues performing this way long term, it’ll easily be the best portable AC I’ve purchased. Based on my experience so far, I highly recommend it.

The window installation is not as time consuming as it seems. The adhesive tape is very sticky and foam is weak so make sure you don't touch the sticky part or it will tear the foam when you try to pull it off. I'd recommend you installing the window hose before you attach it to the plastic window cover to prevent any damages to the window cover. I've already had a DREO smart fan so the app was easy to use. After plugging it in, the startup was quick and easy, the color display was bright and nice. Now the negatives... I'm not sure if my model was a used one since it was missing a few things... Each of these were listed as included on the booklet, it was missing the: Drain hose (to let the built up water exit without hassle) Remote battery (to control the device) L-shape window lock and screws (to prevent opening the window from the outside for security) 2 week update: The AC was working fine, but the weather here jumped up from the 70's to mid 80's in just a day. Now there's water built up and leaking all over the place, the wood tile floor is warping because it was leaking for a while and no one noticed. As I previously mentioned, the drainage hose wasn't included/missing in our package so we got nothing to drain the water out yet until we buy one separately. Very displeased... a missing piece of rubber tube resulted in all this water damage... 1 Month & FINAL UPDATE!! The company finally sent a replacement for missing parts last week. To set it up, I placed it on top of 2 benches to make sure that the hose will send the water right down and not get stuck before reaching the jug. I wanted to try it out based on some of the other reviewer's experiences so I connected the hose to a .5 Gal. jug of Tropicana orange juice and I was going to wait a few days. BIG MISTAKE!! After a few hours and the 1/2 Gal. jug was overflowing and leaking water everywhere. If I had connected the hose to a pot of plant, that plant would've drowned in a few hours. I got a couple of old recycled 5 Gal. water Jugs and connected it to that immediately. So I thought, maybe now I wont have to empty the water out for a while. WRONG!! I took a power rest and when I woke up, it was 7hrs and time for work. It only took 7 hrs, and already half the jug was filled, that's 2.5 Gals in 7 hrs!! So why does the product get a low score? Not because for it's ability to cool down my bedroom, that part it does just fine, but I could've done the same with a window AC, and then I wouldn't have to give up indoor and floor space or even keep track of it as often. I got it so I wouldn't have to deal with the water overflowing mess. That was the whole point of this "Air Conditioner for Bedroom with Drainage-free Cooling". THAT WAS A COMPLETE FAIL. There are plenty of OTHER LOWER-COSTING portable AC's around that are Alexa compatible, but this was the only one that claimed to be "DRAINAGE-FREE". *Sigh* Well... it's been a few days over a month... so I'm stuck with it, don't make my same mistake... Look elsewhere buddies~
