Pros & Cons
Pros
The fan is pretty powerful. It looks pretty sleek. It is very durable and well made. And lastly, the build quality and design of this air conditioner are excellent.
This unit is way louder than the claimed 52 db. This is an indication of a fairly powerful fan and compressor. The ge is louder than my older model but does a credible job of cooling about 700 square feet.
An adjustable thermostat allows me to set the desired temperature. Two hose units use outside air for cooling. Energy saver mode helps conserve energy.
The remote and controls on the unit are self explanatory. Either operate with the remote or manually. I also love that it has a timer and remote.
Installation was really easy, it even comes with the foam tape for the window piece. After installing the window vent and attaching the hose to the ac unit it's ready to use. Quick and securely install the unit in my window without any additional tool... Read More

The unit is not small and requires two people to safely bring up to my 2nd floor. It’s not a mobile unit although it does have wheels. The largest problem of this unit is the noise. Firstly, it is very very loud.
Highlights
Quality
Product was easy to setup and has been great since first day of use, cools a room down pretty quickly.
Its cooling efficiency, multi-functionality, auto evaporation feature, easy installation, and overall quality make it a top-notch option.
I knew the compressor would be loud soo it was not suprise, that is the downside with poratble ac units like this.
I only tested this for about 30 minutes to make sure i know it works and to operate it properly as i got this in case another h... Read More
Price
Plan on buying the weather tape and/or nice weather stripping because what is supplied is basically worthless.
For the price i paid, totally worth having.
Finally, i do think it's a bit pricey for only being 5100 btus.
Competitiveness
Likely it would be an off brand so the cost is going to be your preference of brand name vs more cooling area.
