Highlights

Quality

It cools the front room down quickly, is relatively quiet, and looks like it is quality constructed.

It's well=built,, sturdy, and has wheels strong enough to roll it over carpet without much effort.

We pulled gallons of water out with this ac before mold even had time to realize it was wet.

Same thing the connector sucks and comes off alot even used gorilla tape still pops off

Price

I would highly recommend this unit for a 14000 btu ac at this price point.

Glad i bought this one, definitely worth the money.

I bought this when it was marked down to $288.

I purchased a 14,000 btu unit although i could have spent $100 less.

Shipping

Item arrived ahead of time and was easy to install.

There was an issue with shipping and amazon sent me a mini fridge by accident.

Prime members should pay attention to the note that it takes 2-3 days to ship (then you have your 2 days of shipping on top of that).

Packaging/appearance

It arrived in perfect condition in sound packaging with no plastic.

Competitiveness

This machine delivers better than any 14000btu machine we have ever purchased.

You'd think that the makers of portable ac's could come up with a better solution.

Then i wanted a longer hose so i replaced it with a good hose from the hardware store and a hose clamp similar to a dryer vent.
