Sleek, Modern, Cool... sort of
By TravelGal
...I bought this machine for my apartment living room after my landlord refused to install a window a/c unit in it for "aesthetic reasons." (Who cares if it's 100 degrees and your tenant is boiling to death).But I digress... PROS: The design is very modern-looking and doesn't take up a whole lot of space. It gets cooler and runs fairly quiet. Price of $249 can't be beat! (Bought somewhere else).I have been running it non-stop from 10am-midnight for over two weeks with no issues.The machine will turn off when water collects at the bottom; making sure you remove it before it works again. This has not happened to me yet. Running with no leaks or drainage.CONS: The vents are on the top of the machine, so the air shoots up, not out. Takes much longer to cool a room. It cools my living room/kitchen by about 10 degrees. But to get a better/cooler outcome, I have to run my standing fan next to it so it can blow the cool air towards me. (Hate to see what my electric bill is going to be)!If you have a smaller, enclosed room with closed doors, I'm sure it will be much cooler for you.As far as installation, I could not remove the cap from the grated adapter; it refuses to come off. Perhaps there is a trick to it. So I'm not using it. Also not using the window piece to install properly because I have windows that swing open; not open up and down. So my window has to be open for this to vent. Not the best scenario. But okay for now.Would I recommend this to a friend? Yes, if you have sliding up and down windows and smaller rooms to cool.

Pleasantly surprised
By MinneMan
I have a 14,000 BTU dual-hose portable air conditioner, but to use it in my bedroom I have to run heavy duty extension cords from another room due to the heavy electrical load. I researched which portable air conditioners use the least electricity, and this Koldfront model seems to be the winner at only 600W. I bought it specifically for its minimal power requirement.The little Koldfront works well and surpassed my expectations on what it can accomplish despite only having half the cooling power of the bigger unit I have. It's not particularly stylish but not ugly either. It's really small, so it won't have a lot of presence in the room. I positioned it between the bed and the window and you can barely even see it it's so short. The sound level is decent, and definitely lower than the larger portable air conditioner I have. The tone of the sound is mostly air movement, but when the compressor runs it has a light, buzzy, reed like sound that is not objectionable. It's possible to sleep with this thing running near the bed. If I set the temperature control to a number in the 60's, the room stays between 71-72 degrees, so it seems to have a natural limit of how cold it can make a room. I think this unit is adequately powerful for a small/med sized bedroom, but it may not get a large bedroom as cool as you'd like, and it definitely couldn't handle a small studio apartment on a hot day.CONSIDERATION:It's a single-hose design and that means it will be sending some of your cooled room air to the outside. Because of that, replacement warm outside air will come in from around the doors and windows and wherever outside air has a point of entry to the house. Single-hose air conditioners are good if you have central air conditioning and have a problem room, or if you want to keep the thermostat higher in the rest of the house and have one cold room. If single-hose portable air conditioners will be your sole source of cooling in your entire living space, they will not work nearly as well as window units because window units don't cause warm outside air to move inside. Dual-hose portable air conditioners, which also don't suck hot outside air through the cracks, cost more and are usually the largest and most powerful ones. If you are cooling an apartment, I'd strongly suggest getting a dual-hose model.FAULTS:The button panel has glowing lights that light up the room when sleeping. You may need to tape something over it at night. It has a glowing orange LED temperature display, and unfortunately the clear plastic cover over the numbers has a texture that makes it too foggy to actually read the numbers. It's pretty annoying and negates the usefulness of the remote for changing the temperature. If you aren't standing close enough to press the temperature buttons on the unit with your finger, you won't be close enough to make out the shapes of the numbers in the fog. I consider this a design blunder and I knocked off one star from what would have otherwise been a 5 star review.The warranty is 1 year parts but only 90 days labor. If you are trying to research this unit on the web, Koldfront is made in China for Edge Star. The distributor is Living Direct, which is located in America.Overall, I'm quite happy with this purchase so far.

By Srikanth R.
Hi All..I live on the 5th floor of a 10 unit walk up in NYC. Pros: looks great, easy to use remote, the hose for me worked great in venting to the window, can move it easily per the rollers and easy mount into the window. Cons...I have a 400 sq ft studio, I was looking to have this cool down 200sq ft and it does bring the temp down by 7 degrees or so and that is it despite running it for several hours + ! Also, the cool air shoots up into the ceiling and not out into the room. I think this unit would be good for 100sq ft small room. It is a bit noisy when placed on high which is what I needed. I am now going to buy a window mount unit with 12000BTU.
