AMCOR AMCOR Compact A Series 8000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner AF8000E  Product Reviews

"Much better than my old window units. Because of the portability you can make the most of the 8000 BTUs by directing the air at the right location and level. I also live in the Northeast so there are many days I can just roll it into a closet until the next heat wave. No ugly window unit just sitting there all summer. You may have to cut a piece of plastic if you want a custom window fit but I simply make up the gap of several inches with a small white rag that blends right in -- easy to move to windows of different sizes. Highly recommend this Amcor model!!! Be careful if you select other units as this is a newer technology at these price points so a brand name may not mean much. I never heard of Amcor but the great reviews on this unit swayed me and it has been rock solid. No water to drain. I suspect as you go to higher BTUs with any brand you run the risk of it being more unreliable."

"Portability is definitely an advantage of this AC. And it does cool down the room for a good night's sleep."

"Overall I am very satisfied with this portable air conditioner. The Good: -Shipping was extremely fast (2 days for standard shipping). -Installation was a breeze. -The air that comes out is actually cold, and powerful. The fan produces a terrific draft of cool air. -It cools the room quickly. -The evaporative draining system is great... no emptying buckets of water constantly! The Bad: -It does make some noise (no more than a normal window air conditioner would). But I would say the relief from a hot, humid day is well worth the buzzing noise. -The exhaust hose was larger than I expected. Which means if you don't place the air conditioner strategically, it can be a huge eye sore in the room. However, it does do its job well and I would recommend this unit to anyone needing to cool a room/dorm/small apartment. Enjoy! "
