 If you stand right next to it August 16, 2010

The air conditioner works best if it is below 90, however when it is 90 or hotter, that's when I really want it. Apparently it doesn't work when it is below 90 either.
I bought this unit before last Summer's heat wave in the Northwest, and it arrived two days after it was over. This summer is the first time I've had a chance to use it. I bought it to cool off my living room, which does open up into the kitchen and the hallway. I had hoped that it would at least keep us cool within the small living room (which is about 400 square feet). It only feels like cool air if you stand right next to it. The single hose gets very warm and it adds heat to the air.
I'm very disappointed and might as well thrown my hundreds of dollars straight out the window instead of buying this piece of junk.
Please do not make the same mistake we did! Buy something else. July 29, 2010

We live in an apartment and wanted the flexibility of portable air conditioners so as to avoid blocking the window from regular use. Having read the tons of good reviews on this site, we didn't hesitate to buy two units. How I wish we hadn't.
These units are NOT suitable for home use. If you read the reviews carefully, most of the happy customers use the units in their offices. What they don't mention are a few key problems that are only an issue at night or when one is trying to sleep:
1. The units lights are EXTREMELY, blindingly bright. Truly painful, in fact, and will set the entire room aglow. There is no adjustment for the lights, so we had to make a makeshift, awkward cover just to be able to sleep. The lights are so bright, in fact, that they completely obscure what is written on the buttons, rendering them entirely useless. If they were going to make something bright, it should have been the words on the buttons, not some random accent lights surrounding the buttons!
2. The unit beeps very loudly every time you turn it on or press any of the buttons. So, if you are like us and have a small child at home, this can be problematic. When we turn our unit on in our bedroom, we can hear that the beep is audible in my son's room, even over the sound of his own air conditioner unit (quite a feat considering how loud it is - more on that next).
3. The unit is exceptionally loud. I don't generally have a problem with loud air conditioners, because I like the white noise, but what people who use this in an office fail to mention is the jarring WHACK the machine makes as the compressor turns on and off every few minutes in a smaller bedroom space. Perhaps this doesn't happen in a larger office, or perhaps it doesn't really bother the users, but it is a real problem at home. When it is really hot, or if you set the unit to a very cold setting, the unit doesn't adjust as frequently, and this is less of a problem in our larger bedroom, but in my baby's room, the constant on and off slamming sound was enough to wake him at least a few times a night on its own.
4. The unit has all of these bright lights on it, but it has no indicator light to mention that the unit is full of water from the compressor and needs to be emptied. Instead, if it is on the slightest of angles (how many people have perfectly level floors?), it will simply dump its contents onto your floor, or better still, it will beep loudly until you empty the unit. This is particularly awesome when it happens in the middle of the night!
5. Finally, the instruction booklet SUCKS. Absolutely no information to explain why the unit is making certain noises, how you can prevent the disturbances it presents, etc. A worthless piece of paper that serves to irritate rather than help.
I hate this air conditioner. Loathe it, in fact, and hope that I can dissuade anyone else from purchasing it for home use. Please, please reconsider before making this purchase!

If apartment where the rules say no window air conditioners or the widows are just to small to begin with, this is the product for you. The only thing you have to remember is that even though 10,000 BTU's this is not ment to cool the whole house. However i use it in the living room all day then about 45 minutes before bed, move it to the bed room (being so easy to do so), this works fine for me. I will be getting another soon, i believe that two would cool my 12,000 ft apartment real nice and cool.

We purchased this for my office and ended up using in the bedroom also...
Cons:
It keeps me awake at night as it is very loud when the compressor kicks on. Also the front panel lights are to bright.
It never cooled the room below 72 degrees, room is 15x15
Pros:
Small and compact, even though it not cooler below 72 degrees, it was better then 95 degrees outside.
Works beautifully in hot, dry, Las Vegas! June 15, 2010

We have an upstairs bedroom that gets the full brunt of the afternoon sun here in Las Vegas. Needless to say it gets very warm in that room even with our a/c on. The window in that room faces our front yard (and our neighbors) so we didn't want to put in a window a/c unit as it would look tacky.
I saw the ads for these portable air conditioners that used a small window exhaust port that wouldn't look so noticable to the outside. My wife and I checked them out online and we also looked at some being sold locally (Lowe's, Home Depot, etc.). We also checked out the sellar, Air and Water, Inc. They seemed to be highly rated.
Ratings for portable a/c units are few in number and though there were always postive reviews on the models we looked at, there also seemed to be at least some negative feedback as well.
Another issue we had was the size of the window in the prospective room. We were concerned that the window kit that comes with the portable unit wouldn't be long enough to fit. The product descriptions didn't give the diminsions so I figured if it didn't fit, I could probably make something that would work.
Long story short, we ordered the NewAir AC-10000E. It arrived ahead of time. As I feared, the window kit wasn't long enough (it's 44" in length and we needed 57"). However, I was able to get a piece of wood from Lowe's and attach it to the portion of the window unit where the exhaust hose snaps in. This worked very nicely - and believe me, I'm no "mr. handyman". I did paint the wood to match the color of our house so it wouldn't stick out visually. The results were quite acceptable. Anyway, I got everything hooked up and the unit worked perfectly.
Something else I did that I would recommend is putting weather stripping around the edges of the window kit so you get a good seal. Also, you should put some kind of security (piece of wood or a security latch) for your sliding window that fits next to the window kit - otherwise someone could just slide your window open to gain access to your house.
As to how well the unit worked? It was great! The room was about 81 degrees when we turned it on and it cooled down to 76 degrees in about 20 to 30 minutes. It worked well even in the hottest part of the day.
We've had it about a week and so far, we love it and highly recommend it.
