I'm thrilled with the ease of operation.

Reviewed by Ginny (Value Oriented) from San Jose, CA on Aug 01, 2008

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Cools my large bedroom quite adequately. I love the remote control option, and the fact that it doubles as a heater. Will save me money in the future when I use it more. Weather has cooled down in CA so haven't used it a lot yet.

Best Uses:	Bedroom
Pros:	Easy Window Installation, Accurate Temperature Controls, Quiet, Even Air Distribution, Dehumidifier, Cools the Whole Room

works fine

Reviewed by pollkatz (Value Oriented) from chicago on Jul 28, 2008

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

It would be a lot better if the exhaust hose attached to the side of the machine instead of the back. It would take up a lot less of the room.

Could be a lot better

Reviewed by Nick (Quality Oriented) from Chicago on Jun 10, 2008

BOTTOM LINE No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The unit is reasonably quiet and very easy to setup (read all the directions.) You simply open up your window and put the vent adapter in the window and close the window. BUT, there are a few issues here. First of all, it is absolutely horrible at distributing air across a room. I have a studio apartment with approximately 400 sq feet and I cannot seem to get the entire room to cool down. I can get part of the room to cool down, but I needed to use fans to get the air moving around my reasonably small apartment. The second issue is that the fan runs constantly. The compressor doesn't always run, but the fan does, and that can get annoying. I guess it is good 'white noise' but if you need a silent AC unit that will stop running when it is done cooling you need to look elsewhere. The third issue is that is that it just isn't designed to 'quickly' cool your room. It even says so in the manual. It is meant to 'gradually' cool your room by pulling as much air as possible through the unit. Of course, if the heat outside is very high air is going to be leaking through the plastic window adapter faster than this thing is going to be cooling your room. I had to go out and buy more insulation from Lowes because of the very small quantity that comes with the unit for my large vertical window. Expect to use a LOT of tape to seal off air. If you can, stick with a window unit. But if that isn't possible you'll have to make do with these units.

Pros:	Easy Window Installation, Quiet
Cons:	Uneven Cooling, Doesn't Cool Air

Good Air Conditioner.

Reviewed by The Moose (Quality Oriented) from Virginia Beach on May 23, 2008

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

I have owned MANY portable no-name air conditioners; and most of them have never lasted more than one year. The best thing about Whirlpools is they LAST!!!! I won't have to plan on buying another one next year.

Pros:	Quiet, Accurate Temperature Controls, Cools the Whole Room
Best Uses:	Small Room

Not good for rooms with lots of windows

Reviewed by Jeannine (Quality Oriented) from Los Angeles, CA on Jul 20, 2006

I needed this ac unit for a sun room, which has glass on two sides. In turn, I bought another ac unit of this type for a studio with a sliding glass door. For the price I paid for each ac, I am disapointed with the ability of the machine to effectively cool the room. The flow of air for this unit is not suffient to disperse cool air through out the room. The cord on the unit is too short. So, I am limmited in where I can put this unti in the room. The hose could also be a touch longer. I had to spend another $70. to buy a fan and a 12ft long extension cord. (I had also spend about another $300.00 in sheers/curtains to help keep the sun out.) However, I do think that this ac unit may be sufficient in rooms with better insulation and few windows. Unfortunately, this ac unit did not meet my needs. If I still had the box, I would return it, and get a window ac. I give it a C rating.
