Shinco 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

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 This unit is way cheaper than the repairs for an outdated 20+ year old unit and while it in no way is something to cool off the entire apartment, it took my bedroom from 87 degrees down to 75 degrees in about 2.5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 (Outdated windows in this apartment) but overall, the slide is holding in place for now.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 love this air conditioner. I chose it because I don’t like the way traditional window units look. It was really easy to install, and it works very well. It is a little loud, but it’s very powerful and keeps my bedroom really cool. I would definitely recommend it if you also don’t want a bulky unit sitting in your window. I actually liked mine so much that I bought a second one for my spare bedroom.

Cools my apartment quickly but very loud. Even on the low setting it’s pretty noisy. It’s fine for my life and family but something to note. Easy to put together but the windowsill equipment is filsy and I had to MacGyver it. Would buy again but only if on sale again. Going to keep it but happier with my Midea AC… I like the wheels on the bottom and how sturdy is it.

So far so good. The only thing is the cool setting doesn’t turn on and I think it’s because it’s not hot enough yet. It hasn’t reached high temps yet to fully see how well it works. The standard shipping took less than 24 hours. The machine looks great, a little smaller than expected. Wasn’t to heavy and can be easily moved around. Installation was super easy. Happy with the purchase so far. UPDATE: Been almost a month using this unit for an apartment master bedroom. Have had no issues and it cools the room well. It is a bit noisy but having the room cool during hot weather makes it totally worth it. Happy with the unit and would recommend. When I read other reviews, seeing other units leak or are super loud, maybe they got bad ones or damaged in transit.

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.

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.

This thing is LOUD!!! It soinds like a table saw starting up and it continues to be super loud..... but it does its job and cools the air

Love this AC Unit. Definitely recommend having this. We live in an upstairs apartment im pretty sure the AC is old and needs to be renewed but owner could care less. The summer time my apartment would not stay cool at all with the apartment AC we would be cooking in our place and our Pg&e bill was through the roof. Which is crazy since we arent fresh in our apartment! i have kids so chose to buy this as a last resort. Let me tell you this is a game changer! Keeps my whole living room fresh to the point we can be comfy and not complain about the heat or sweating. I switched it to our bedroom to try it out there and works even better keeps is ice cold. I was worried about my electric bill with this but my bill was only $200 compared to the $800 from the apartment AC!!! This is with it running pretty kuch all day especially the hot summer days. Would definitely recommend would buy again.

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.
