Refurbished AC
I was a bit worried because it is refurbished, but we have had zero problems. It is perfect for our bedroom and cools the room down quickly. A feature I like, it will shut off when it hits desired temp. Turn back on when it rises. All in all, good purchase.

Not Happy....
junk!!! Ran for a few hrs, turned off every so often when i changed anything on the remote. Now it won't stay on at all. And the remote on/off doesn't work. No reason at all for this. It's a very heavy unit

    Best AC unit ever!
    I love this AC unit! My son's bedrm is in the back of our place so it gets hot back there. We only have an AC unit in the front. When he installed this, he found the window attachment easy to install too. It blasts COLD air! When he moved out he took it with him so I got the 2nd one to replace it. I love that it comes with a remote control and a timer so you can turn it off after you go to sleep (like set it for 2 hours or whatever time you choose). I had first gotten one that requires adding ice cubes or water which blew very slightly cooler air, nothing like this one! The only negative thing is the tube needs to be at least a foot longer. From the window there's not much choice on how far away you want to put the unit and I wanted it to be closer to the corner of the room instead of right under the window. The good thing is it's portable and also on wheels so it's easy to move around. And you can take it if you move out!

    Unbelievably awesome!
    I was very worried as I had not really looked at the ratings/reviews for this before I purchased it . We were expecting an unusual heat wave and I was in a hurry. I ordered another portable unit with this one (different brand) and was shocked that this one out preformed the other one that was not refurbished and has a higher BTU . This one was late in arriving so I put the higher BTU one I ordered in the bedroom. When this one arrived I put in the living room with open floor plan into the kitchen and it cools the area making it pretty comfortable for a small lower BTU unit like this . Totally surprises my guests. I am so impressed I am waiting for it to come back in stock to reorder for another bedroom.

    Unhappy
    Finally got the chance to unbox my A/C, I noticed filter and the bottom where the drainage nozzle is was damaged. I let it the ran for a while, what I didn't like is the fact that the external duck was given off a lot of heat making the room unable to get cool. Very disappointed.

    Only worked a couple weeks
    Only lasted a couple of weeks, got home today and it was blowing hot air which is the exact opposite of what its supposed to do so that is no on whether I would recommend it or not. Also this site will not let me use an apostrophe because no one ever uses contractions.

    Hard to Tell, So Far -- Will Update
    As usual, I didn't read detailed reviews until I'd already ordered this item. To say they're "mixed" is generous -- especially if you limit the search to the most recent reviews. Prepared as I was to be unsurprised with a useless device arriving at the house, I noted off the bat that the box seemed to be well-packed and new looking, as opposed to some prior negative reviews. Encouraged, I opened the device to find brand new internal packaging and accessories and all in good order. Upon removing the a/c unit, itself, it did become apparent that this was used equipment. Minor scratches here and there, some scuffs, a little discoloration, and maybe just a tad bit of grime were tell-tale signs. Again, all accessories including flexible duct and connection panels/grates appeared to be brand new. Upon plugging the unit in, though, I was elated to find that it blew very cold air almost immediately. Within just two or three minutes, the converted attic room in which it was installed dropped from a stifling 90* to about 85*. Fan blows strong the unit is actually quite quiet for this kind of device. One star off because the Hisense is already extremely hot to the touch and I have a feeling the "refurb" team plugged this unit in, experienced the same blast of cold air I did, and then cleaned it up for repackaging. I've also tripped the breaker twice since plugging this one in. Two rooms in the house already have similar units from other manufacturers (which are actually in theory more "powerful) and I've never had that issue before. There's probably a grounding issue in the motor given the heat and breaker tripping. I'll give it a day to see if I can relocate some other power hungry devices and keep the Hisense going long enough for it to do its job. In working order, this would be an excellent, affordable option for cooling medium- to smaller-size rooms.

    Noise is horrible. Not for everyone
    Makes huge noise once down to 60 degrees. Sometimes 70 degrees it's loud as I don't know what. First day purchasing out of all the air conditioner units this was the loudest. Not just any loud noise it sounded as if the motor was going out.

    My a/c experience
    This a/c is just the right size for my mom's apartment. It came two days earlier that expected, but I am grateful! It has a timer, a fan mode, a dimmer and a sleeper features. Happy with my purchase!!!

    Not great. Not terrible.
    It came with a broken louver and no bottom on the box just Styrofoam. Had some scratches on front. It barely cools a 12x12 room and puts out a lot of heat. It needs to be pointed at you or near you and blows less cold after a couple of hours. It's VERY loud. Can not watch tv in a small room with it on. It's really limited as to where you can put it because of the exhaust hose. And a bucket needs to be used to catch the condensation drip. It was missing two of the clips and to be screws I need it. It's not a bad option read up on these units before you buy one.

    Skip the hassle of having to return it.
    A really bad job with factory reburbishing. It was missing the vent tubing attachment, so there was no way to connect the vent tube to the unit. It would stop blowing cool air after 1-2 minutes and then switch to the fan. Don't waste your time or money. This wasn't any better than a fan. I'm so glad Walmart accepted the return at the store! I returned it and bought a new (rather than refurb) air conditioner unit that is working perfectly. Definitely worth the extra money.
