DREO Portable Air Conditioner 318S, 8000 BTU ASHRAE (5000 BTU DOE) Smart AC Unit for Bedroom with Drainage-free Cooling, Fan&Dehumidifier 3 in 1, APP/Voice/Remote, Quiet Standing AC for Room Indoors

Love this air conditioner and going to probably buy a second one here soon for my living room. I replaced my Black + Decker for a smaller BTU AC because it would constantly trip my breaker. The 8000 stills cools my bedroom down significantly and I can run multiple things without tripping my breaker! I also love that I can use my phone to control the AC when I'm not home for my pets, even for vacations. This was something I struggled with on my old AC and I really wanted something I could control remotely. You can also set a timer, have sleep mode, control the fan level, and ofc set your desired temperature. So far, I haven't had to drain the AC after using it for a few weeks which is awesome. Setting up also took us only 15 min, and it's super easy to do in comparison to window AC's. As far as noise, it can be a little bit loud but it's just typical AC noise unfortunately. Thankfully, you can change the fan level to make it a little quiet and there's sleep mode as well. I consider it as white noise anyway, so I'm alright with it.

Single best purchase ive made all year! I have a very small 11x13 room that was converted from an office to a bedroom. It does not have a hot air return vent and the vent delivering the cold air is poorly implemented giving me about 10% of the air flow the rest of the house's vents get. I also have a PC that stays on a lot in this room that leaves the room hovering around 80 degrees at all times. This unit was worth every penny. It knocks my 80 degree room down to 68 in minutes, is multiple times quieter than the old window unit I had last year, works much better than my window unit since the radiator is in a window well. Since this just exhausts the heat to the window well instead of relying on the air in the window well for cooling the radiator the performance is that much better than a window unit in my case. It was incredibly easy to install compared to my window unit, and the app control and temperature readout from the app are such a nice luxury. If you have a small room in a basement with poor ventilation and a window well, this unit is perfect for you. Ive had it running for 50 hours now and havent had to drain it a single time. Im absolutely in love with this unit.

This portable AC is awesome. My son set it up for me, and overall it was pretty easy. I bought the used option, and I honestly can’t even tell it was ever opened. It looked great and works perfectly, so it was an amazing value for the money. The only challenge was getting it installed into the window panel kit because the large hose does require some space, but once it was set up, it worked amazingly well. It has taken my warm room from uncomfortable to almost freezing in barely any time. It cools the entire room quickly, and the remote is really convenient. The settings are easy to change, and I love that it can oscillate if I want it to. This has been a real game changer, especially because the AC in my house does not distribute evenly to every room. I would definitely buy it again and highly recommend it to others.

This AC doesn’t claim to cool more than 150 sq ft, so don’t expect it to cool an entire living space. It was fine to install, though it may take two people to get it framed correctly in the window, and it does produce chilled air. If you’re in a hot climate, I’d recommend turning it on first thing in the morning rather than fighting an uphill battle against an already warm room. It will not win that war. It’s small enough that it tucks out of the way in the corner and it rolls easily, though the window connection means that it might not be worth it to remove the unit during the winter. The description states that the unit is “whisper quiet,” which is definitely not the case. It’s about what you’d expect from a machine that has an internal fan and cooling mechanism.

This is a very good portable air conditioner. It is a premium product. Nice looking. Hence the price. It does blow air very strong but it is relatively quiet averaging around 40 -42 db from a few feet away. The sleep mode makes it even quieter. It has an eco mode supposedly for efficiency but didn't find it to be effective. The best feature is that it pauses and goes silent when it reaches pass its target temperature long enough just like you'd see from an HVAC. Somehow, I was not getting this during eco mode. As it gets close to reaching its target temperature, it gets less noisy. So it depends on how hard it has to work. I think this would be best in a room that is no more than 200 sq ft., although it can work further than that without a problem, it'll just take longer for it to reach its goal, if you're looking for it to be quiet sooner and silent. The app for the phone is very helpful too! You can control it remotely even outside your house, showing the temperature in the room it's been working with, and when it's time to clean it. All said, I wish Dreo had an inverter version because I'm in Houston and this may not stand well in the harsh summer heat. I'll just be hearing it working hard all day long.

I have been a DREO customer for quite some time. So when I came across this AC unit I knew I had to purchase it. The design is very sleek and modern and the air that comes out is ice cold. It is a little bulky for the average room requiring about 2 feet in front of a window. The foam inserts it comes with are plentiful and the AC is very comforting. I highly recommend for anyone searching to cool a warm room in a very reliable way.

I have had a few different portable AC’s. This one hits every mark. It’s relatively quiet, has a great app, and doesn’t kill your power bill. It’s remote is user friendly, and it will absolutely freeze you out. Mine is in my bedroom and it has helped it stay cooler in hot summer months. It will get louder if you don’t clean the filters, but a quick clean and it’s back in action.

Updating May 2026: still loving this product!! So happy and have shared it with others. In May & June in San Diego we get “May Gray” & “June Gloom” in that the ground temps are hot but ocean water isn’t heated up so there’s always coastal fog in the am, that burns off by afternoon. I can set this little guy to dry in the am & cool in the pm!! I can only imagine how well it would be in my old apt in Boston during those hot, rainy summer days 😬 Ok peeps, I hardly write reviews but I’m really impressed with this purchase! I live in So Cal - not really big needy on A/C, but yes summers are getting more humid than when I was a kid. Pair that with living in a 100 yr old building without central air (but pooled electric bill!) and I decided this was the year for shopping in this dept. I did a LOT a research, read a lot of reviews, parsed the pros & cons, and especially the prices. I wanted a unit that people rated the remote control & cooling as pros, I wanted to be able to control with an app when not home (to keep cat safely cool.) While there was a unit that was *slightly* better than this, the price on this unit made it a clear winner. When it arrived (thanks Amazon driver for bringing the box up the elevator to my door!!) all I had to do was lift the outer box off the styrofoam/particle board base, assemble the window slats and go! The remote sticks magnetically to the top of the unit, great because I use the app more often. It cools so quickly and covers a lot of sq ft!!! I love the fact that I can also use all the same functions on the front of the unit, if I’m running out the door, I can just tap it. 3 fan speeds + auto on the A/C, so there’s plenty of options. I may even try the dehumidifier if the traditional San Diego June gloom goes further into July! I don’t find it particularly loud, and I live in a corner studio. I’m used to it, it has become like a louder white noise. Can still watch tv and talk on the phone just fine. Super portable: I know it’ll roll into my closet just fine for storage. Bonus: about 2 months after I started using it, I realized I didn’t have the drainage hose to use with the dehumidifier function. I contacted DREO customer service - thru the app! Even the manual is available thru the app, so you can just recycle that paperwork! I asked if they could give me the dimension of the hose so I could buy a new one at my hardware store. Tina w their customer service had one at my door 3 business days later at no charge!! This is a really good product, I know it’ll last. I put it on a 3rd party payment plan and am so happy I splurged on this (it was a splurge in that I’m taking a few months to pay for it.) Trust my research, my frugal nature, and my recommendation here, you won’t be let down!

I purchased this DREO after returning a GE unit, which was a similar price, but had numerous bad designs and faults. I wasn't familiar with DREO products but I've been very impressed. Context: We're using this 8000 BTU unit in a medium sized bedroom. We live in a south-facing apartment with large windows in the Pacific Northwest: our apartment gets really hot and humid in the summer. Overall / cooling: This unit is really good. It's a great size for a bedroom; not so large that it dominates the space, but large enough to effectively cool the room very well. It's certainly not large enough to cool our entire apartment however, so if you're looking to cool a really large area I'd definitely look at something bigger than 8,000 BTU. The unit has self-evaporation, so you shouldn't need to drain the unit or use a hose outlet (unless you're using the dehumidifier mode). We've been running the unit continuously for 200h and haven't had to drain it yet. If you do need to drain it, the unit switches off and warns you, which is helpful. Volume: The unit is really quiet in comparison to the much cheaper 8000 BTU Arctic King unit we previously owned, and the GE 12000 BTU unit we returned. We sleep with it on all night, and it doesn't disturb us at all. When the compressor cycles on or off there's a slight volume change, but it's very minor. We typically sleep with a tower fan running all night, and this AC unit is barely any louder. Functions/app: The unit has the best range of functions + app that I've experienced. The unit itself has touch buttons which allow you to do most things, except set the schedule (which needs to be done via the app). It also has a really good remote that has the same functionality. The device has 3 fan speeds and 3 modes (fan, dehumidify, cool). We keep it set to cool mode, and set the unit to run the fan constantly. You can also set the device so the fan only comes on when the compressor is running, but we keep the fan running constantly to keep air moving. The unit can do celcius and farenheit, it has an eco mode and a sleep mode. The sleep mode adjusts the temperature overnight, so the room warms up slightly towards the morning; you can dial in the specific sleep temperatures via the app. The app itself is really good; very easy to navigate, allows you to control the device from anywhere, and tells you the current ambient temperature now and historically (this is great for us as we have pets, so it's good to know if the apartment has been getting too hot). You can also track your usage, and it'll inform you when the filter needs to be cleaned. The app schedule is really good, allowing you to set specific actions (e.g.: turn on cooling to 68 degrees, or turn unit off, or turn on fan) on specific days and/or times. Install kit: The window install kit is the best I've seen. It's super easy to put together, it comes with all the additional foam insulation you might need, and the components to hold the window kit together are all metal, rather than the cheap plastic parts that most come with (and inevitably snap). The one poor design element is how the exhaust tube connects to the window panel; this is with plastic clips that are super tight. They seem like a major weak point in the design and I'll be really careful when I disconnect the hose from the window. For that reason, if you're looking for a unit that you want to frequently move or disconnect from a window, this might not be the right one. Support: Lastly, I had a question about the product and contact customer services. They replied within 24 hours with all the info I needed; much better than my experience with GE who've outsourced all of their customer services to a different company.

Bought the 8000 BTU, loved it so much, bought the 14000 BTU as well. The AC is as told - quiet and quick cooling! There was noise that développed later on, so, I checked the manual and they advised me to clean the filter. After cleaning the filter it operated quietly again! If you download the app (which is amazing! It recommends when you should clean the filter,you can access their FAQ and user manual digitally, turn your machine on and off when you're away from home). The filter is easy to clean because you can separate it into two pieces. The placard you put in your window is easy to set up as well (it has bolts to set the pieces in place so that it doesn't keep sliding). All in all, really happy with the machine. I've been using it for a month now.

I was pleasantly surprised by how well this unit cools. After properly sealing the window and optimizing the exhaust hose, it cooled my bedroom so well that I had to raise the temperature to 74°F because it became too cold! Even on the lowest fan speed, it cools efficiently without needing an additional fan. It's a bit loud on high, but that's expected for a portable AC. Overall, I'm extremely happy with this purchase and highly recommend it.

I purposely waited a month before writing this review because I wanted to be fair and experience the device before commenting. While I won't dispute the many 5-star review about the unit's cooling abilities, there are other areas that aren't so great. To begin: I've never really understood the term 'portable' with these devices suggesting you can easily move it from room to room because it's on wheels. There's a problem with that thinking.....there's the not so tiny issue of the hose tethering the device to a convenient window. While I applaud DREO's engineers for the lovely coupling they created for the hose-to-machine scenario, unfortunately they didn't carry it through to the hose-to-window accessories. My hose poppoed out of the window unit in less than 24-hours with a distinct and very loud POP at midnight in the middle of a sweltering heat wave. Wrestling the hose back into the window aperture was really a barrel of laughs....NOT. The coupling is now secured with the requisite lengths of tape which seemingly adorn all portable AC units I've ever seen.....so exactly what makes this PORTABLE except for the wheels. In terms of the unit itself....it cools very quickly and efficiently but any notion anyone has that this unit is quiet enough for a bedroom....sorry, it's not. I've had mine set to AUTO for the entire month and I can tell you that when the engine cycles to full cool mode, you can definitely feel and hear the rumble.....both of which have woken me repeatedly. I suspect it will do better in the main portion of my apartment next summer.....definitely not the bedroom. Additionally, the remote device I received didn't work.....although DREO support staff replaced it quickly and efficiently and FYI....responded to the support request within hours so they've got great customer service. Just need to up their game regard to the hose-to-window coupling!!

Ma pièce n'est pas bien grande alors cet appareil est amplement efficace pour la refroidir adéquatement. Le kit de fenêtre s'assemble facilement. Le ventilateur est un peu bruyant quand il fonctionne à son maximum , mais c'est rien d’insupportable et on peut très bien s'endormir quand même. Se connecte au réseau mais en 2.4 GHz seulement. Comme j'ai d'autres appareils sur mon réseau qui sont dans le même cas, ça ne me pose pas de problème. Sur la tablette Galaxy l'interface est assez conviviale mais certaines fonctions peuvent être un peu compliquées à comprendre de prime abord.
