hOmeLabs Window Air Conditioner 5000 BTU - Easy Mechanical Control Compact AC Unit with Washable Reusable Filter, 2 Cooling Speeds, 2 Fan Speeds - Ideal for Bedroom and Rooms up to 150 Sq. Ft.

What a great air condition unit. Cools my office well. It doesn't leak all this time. The size of the room is 10x10 and it cools fast. It is powerful with cold air blowing until room is cooled. It's been over 2 years since I bought it, it is a great unit and still works great under pressure being I live in Florida. With my golden retriever in the room there is hair on the A.C. unit and it is easy to wipe off. It is a wall unit and easy to install.

I almost returned this the day I received it due to how noisy it is. But keep reading. It's an easy fix. It's actually VERY quite. I wanted to reduce my home electrical bill. I work from home in central Florida. During the summer my AC is on almost constantly on. 98% of the time I'm in my bedroom with my computer and TV working. The TV is energy efficient but does put out a little heat. My computer generates a lot of heat as I'm a programmer. I keep the home A/C at 82. My bedroom is around 88 because of the electrical equipment. I have three fans running. My electrical bill this month (July 2018) is averaging about $3.89 per day ($117.00 per month). Since I'm usually only in one room I would try a window A/C to save money on electricity. This little A/C is amazing. I have a watt meter and it averages 412 watts when the compressor is on and 51 watts when it's off. My daily electricity fee is now $.98. My bill will be less than $30.00 in the summer...WOW!!! My room is 185 sq feet and I keep is at 1/3 on the temperature scale. It keeps the room 78 deg. My room faces the south and gets hit hard by the afternoon sun. This little guy is amazing!!! I read some reviews that it's very noisy. Which scared me. I almost didn't buy it. But I decided to give it a shot. When I first installed it. Which by the way is super easy. Took me less than 30 minutes. When I turned it on it was so loud. There would have been no way I could have slept with this on. I keep my TV volume at level 13. I had to turn it up to 55 to hear the TV over the A/C. I went outside to check the outside and found the problem. The compressor coil was hitting the left side of the unit (Left side if you are facing the controls). I pressed my hand against the left wall and the noise completely stopped. I didn't feel like unscrewing it and bending the pipe away from the wall. Instead, I just placed a piece of cardboard between the metal and pipe that the pipe was vibrating against. The noise completely stopped...problem solved. This little guy makes less noise than one of my house fans. I sleep like a "cool baby and my dogs love it too. Low cost to purchase, keeps my 185sq ft room cool at 1/3 settings, saves tons of money on electricity...GREAT PURCHASE...HIGHLY recommend it!

So we initially bought a fancy Frigidaire ac unit that can be controlled over wifi. In theory this was a good plan because we figured we wouldn't have to sneak into our kids' room at night to turn it off and potentially wake them. We quickly discovered that they found it hilarious to mess with it and shove things into the front vents. It was also 5k btu & waaay larger a unit than we needed for their room which is under 100sq ft. So we reclaimed the fancy unit for ourselves! I was looking for an affordable, simple, smaller AC unit when I bought this model. It may have been relatively inexpensive, but it works really well for our kids' room! It gets cold fast, and while I wish it, too, had an auto setting where it would turn off once it reaches a certain temp, we just monitor it closer. Which also works to check in on the boys' shenanigans. After having one unit taken away from them and being downgraded, our kiddos are being a little more respectful with the vents as well. I fully expect -even with our destructive boys- that this will last more than a few years even for us, and when it starts to struggle it will be of no fault of its own, but rather our kids when/if it gets clogged with paint chips, confettied paper, dust bunnies, etc *eyeroll* I'm very glad we went with it! Unfortunately, our windows are really old and our wooden storm windows are taller than the interior sill. This has caused us problems installing both units. We added a wooden ledge as instructed in both manuals and still have issues with firting. Even the fancy one doesn't seal properly with the included accordion panels. This more affordable ac unit doesn't have hard foam inserts like the pricier model, but when we have gaps even with the fancy foam version, I am not sure how much that matters. Both brands included paneling have left us gaps and we can't screw them into the window frame as advised. I think this is a situation that will be hard to avoid with older homes (ours is 103yo). I am actually glad we tried out an expensive unit first before this one because we aren't as frustrated or assuming the issue is because it's a budget price that it was lacking in this department. It doesnt fit quite as well, but it's not a significant difference either. Overall I give this 4 stars because I wish there were better instructions for how to adapt this to our windows, and because I wish it had the temperature auto off. Despite our frustration (with both units), I am actually really glad we got this one! The unit itself works as expected...I only wish I knew how to fix our installation issues.

This is a fantastic little AC unit ! This is rated for 150 square feet @ 5000 btu...my room is only 147 square feet, and this little AC will freeze me out. I only run it on low cool / temp 6 and it keeps it cold enough that i have to turn it off. I turn it off when i get too cold because the fan never shuts off. It's basic, it does what i bought it for, and it does it very well. It's also fairly quiet, not the most quiet unit out there, but i sleep with it close enough to my bed that i can reach up and turn it on or off without getting out of bed, and i have no problems sleeping with it turned on. I highly recommend this AC to anyone needing to cool off a bedroom, den, office, any small to medium sized room. I can honestly say that i am very happy with this little AC...oh boy does it get cold in here. Thank you hOmeLabs for such a high quality AC that is affordable, my wife and i are trying to figure out how to buy a second one.
