8,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner, AC Unit with Built-in Cool, Dehumidifier & Fan Modes for Room up to 350 sq.ft, Conditioner Remote Control, 24 Hour Timer, Installation Kit

I’ve been running these units for 2 summers now. Here’s a no frills Detailed Review to Help anyone looking for these types of ACs and is unsure of what to do Okay so I can’t instal window units in my place, landlord doesn’t want it. Fine. So last year I go nuts researching portable AC units. I didn’t want to waste money, I take my appliances seriously. So when looking for “bedroom” units for my room and kids rooms I came across this unit last year. After a bunch of research I decided to give it a shot. It’s was cheaper than others and for the bedrooms I didn’t need one of those giant fancy inverter units. I bought 2 last year. They worked great. Can take a hot humid upstairs northeast bedroom and bring it down to 68 degrees with ease. Fast forward. I just bought a third one this year for my office as I knew I could trust it. And it’s working great. Knowing my history with this brand let me break it down. It’s loud. Floor units are loud but this is noticeably loud. This is the no frills workhorse of floor ACs. You need cooling? You got it? The price is fair. Lower than others and it cools just as good as the more expensive ACs, but that price comes with some noise. If you like noise during sleep or are a heavy sleeper, it really doesn’t matter. If you hate noise when sleeping or are sensitive to changes in noise levels during sleep this one might not be for your bedroom use. It blows air efficiently. Ice cold. The low fan speed setting is perfect I never have to set it to high. It’s easy to use. Turn it on, set the temp. That’s it. No fancy touch screens, if you need an AC that just does AC functions this is it. Setting it up isn’t bad. It’s basically like every other AC in its class. Pull the hose set it up in the window, add some foam and maybe duct tape that matches your window color to keep that tight seal and hot air out. Good to go. Only thing I’ll say negative about the set up is the window kit doesn’t have multiple size inserts so what I did was took the adjustable piece out back and sawed off some inches with a regular old hack saw. Took me 2 mins. Measure your window and if u don’t wanna do some DIY stuff just buy an extra kit with the smaller size in it. Not a deal breaker. This AC is worth it. It’s also small. It’s nice for a kids room where you don’t wanna mess up their space with some giant appliance or like my office where I wanna save space. It’s not the lightest but that’s where the wheels come in, roll it around. Easy as that. I don’t think I’ve ever had to drain these things. Even units that aren’t marketed as self evaporating do self evaporate just as a product of the condenser heating up and the condensation blowing out the hose. So don’t get too hung up on the idea of excess water in it. It’s efficient, most of that waters blowing out the hose. Again. Value for the money on this is great when you’re trying to cool off rooms. Now to end this, if you need to cool an entire open floor plan living room/kitchen. You are going to want a big, powerful, and expensive dual hose inverter unit. Just the facts. Don’t by a small single hose AC unit for a space it’s not powerful enough to cool efficiently. If you have that large of a space look into the more powerful ones from this brand or shop around. I have a very powerful dual hose inverter unit in my living room downstairs. These ACs are my specific “room coolers”. And they do a perfect job. Furthermore this company has been around since the 90s. It’s not some random company that just popped up on Amazon. Funny enough Shineco started out in the world of DVD players back in those days. Bottom line it’s a solid unit from a manufacturer based in China that has been around for a long time. The price is fair. The parts are well made. The unit works great for the use case. Highly recommend considering I now own 3 and 2 of them are going on their second summer.

Great product! It Works! It’s LOUD! Definitely you get what you pay for. But it’s decently priced and cools down my son’s room in seconds. I have vertical sliding windows. The installation took seconds. It was easy.

This ac unit works great. Keeps it cool upstairs for the 2 small bedrooms we have up there. Easy to install. If you are looking for a quiet to sleep at night unit this is not it. It is very loud. I can hear it kick on when I am downstairs. It’s powerful and works great just loud.

Received the 8k BTU unit to set up in my bedroom where my computer is for work and for gaming. My bedroom wall and window faces the west so the sun beats down on my from just after noon until the sun finally dips behind the trees at 6pm. Living in the southeast, summers are hot, muggy and unbearable, and recently my whole apartment AC has decided to no longer work. This unit is way cheaper than the repairs for an outdated 20+ year old unit and while it in no way is something to cool off the entire apartment, it took my bedroom from 87 degrees down to 75 degrees in about 2.5 hours. (170 sq foot space). The air flow is strong, and once it starts cooling, it's ice cold in front of the unit with the rest of the room feeling nice and comfortable. My only issue is that the noise level from the unit is in no way 55db. This thing is loud. Louder than some actual window units. It'll be great for white noise to fall asleep to, but is a bit of a problem while in a work meeting or on Discord with gaming buddies. Had to do a little McGyver-ing to get the slide for the window to install right. (Outdated windows in this apartment) but overall, the slide is holding in place for now. Assembly of the hose was easy to do, but be careful not to pull too hard on the bracket or the direct exhaust piece that goes into the window because they will come off. They were easy enough to screw back into place, but it was annoying trying to get the hose positioned correct. As of today (05/17/2026) it's an easy 5 stars from me. I will update once my whole apartment AC is fixed or the summer ends, whichever comes first. Highly recommend for anyone in a pinch.

I should have googled the negative reviews more and check about this product before I bought it. I saw the review of a customer in Amazon that the aircon does not last long. I ignored it and went ahead and bought it, when it arrived to me, the item is too heavy and can only be moved using a dolly. It is also too loud. I intended to return it but because it is too heavy, I did not. I purchased the item last week of November 2024. As instructed in the paper that came with it, I religiously clean the filter and always check the container of the condensation to make sure it is not full and the water continuously flow, the aircon is located near the window and in a clear area. My son installed the item, followed all the instructions so from start of turning on the aircon, the aircon has been running fine until first week of May 2026, when the aircon does not put out cold air anymore. I notified Shinco the problem, their response is “ Dear customer, the lifespan of the machine is related to various factors such as the usage environment and time. Generally speaking, the machine can be used for a long time if it is placed as per the instructions. Who buys a $200+ product that does not follow instructions? My son installed the aircon. If my son did not follow all instructions to install the aircon, it should not have been running fine for a year and few months after my son installed it, The usage environment and time and all instructions in the paper that came with it are followed. So obviously, the aircon or the product won’t last long, or the product became defective after certain months of usage. And the company does not acknowledge a product produced that became defective after certain months of usage. The hassle of always watching the water container of the condensation is also a problem. If you are planning to be away from your home for few days or a week, or longer, this aircon is not good for you. The aircon that sits in the window does not require a container for the water condensation, so I would recommend that instead. Another company would be acknowledging a defective product, not Shinco. If I would give no star, I would but there is no way to give a zero star. Only starts with 1 star.

Works great, had it for a week now. Cools down the room pretty quick. Remote works very well. However even on the "low" fan setting, it is still super loud. Even with earplugs its super loud.

I ordered this ac a little while ago in prep for the summer, I just installed it today, let me tell you I’ve paid more for less compared to this, this kit came with everything you need and was super easy to setup. The AC works well, it’s about what I would expect noise wise, not bad by any means. It came without damage and the price was amazing, I’m using it for my rather large bedroom and it works amazing, I don’t have to run it more than 10 mins to enjoy a nice cool room, the dust filter and such is super easy to clean, and the ac itself it’s heavy when you have to drain it it seems. I would buy this again without a second thought.

I bought this in 2021 and have used it daily for at least 9 months out of the year maybe more because i am so hot natured in live in the south where the mosquitos carry fans it's so hot. I've never had any trouble with it. I think this is a great unit that is really easy to set up. I also like that it has never leaked. The room i use it in is 19 by 17 and it cools it easily. When its 90 outside my room is 65. It takes it about 10 mins when it's 80 outside to get it that cool and when it's 90 or 95 it takes it about 20 or 25 mins but considering the humidity outside i think it's great. I would definitely buy this again and i am very happy i did! One other thing- the remote is easy to replace which i like because i lost the original:-). Every summer this is my favorite purchase. Its a little loud but as someone that is autistic it's not so loud that it bothers me because it blocks out other noises and helps me sleep.

Éste aire acondicionado es demasiado ruidoso. Lo compré para mí recámara pero al prenderlo no se puede oír la televisión y no se puede dormir. No lo recomiendo.
