SereneLife 12000BTU Portable AC

I bought this portable a/c unit to use for cooling my workshop. I ended up needing it for emergency cooling for my house when my a/c went out. I really appreciated having the portable design, rather than a window unit, because it was so simple to move and hook up the exhaust to my window. The window installation kit is very simple to use and can be made to work with most windows. I didn’t even have to remove the screen. It doesn’t require any expertise, unlike windows units that require getting the correct angle and securing the unit so it doesn’t fall. This provided a great amount of cooling for the entire main floor of my house, I was really impressed. I have an open concept floor plan and the square footage of the space I was cooling was about 500sqft. Though rated for a slightly smaller space, I thought it did a good job of keeping up with the cooling load and keeping the space comfortable though I did have it running on maximum. In my workshop, I don’t need to use the full capacity for cooling. There I just set a temperature and it switches on and off as needed. I think it runs pretty quiet, no more loud to me than fan running. It’s a great unit and has an unobtrusive, sleek design that looks nice.
