I received this Hisense 10000-BTU DOE 115-Volt Grey Portable Air Conditioner at a discounted price in exchange for my honest feedback.
Unboxing - The unboxing was very easy due to the packaging that allows you to simply cut the bottom and lift the package off of the unit. This was very helpful considering that this unit is very heavy (65-75 lb range). A huge bonus is that it has caster wheels to easily roll it around. It took me about 5 minutes to unbox it.
Initial thoughts - There's a lot of plastic here, but the build quality seems solid. The layout is very streamlined with all of the controls being on top panel. The instructions are well-written so that makes for an easy setup. It included a remote control which is a nice touch.
Installation - I installed this unit in the family room that's approximately 425 square feet. Everything that you need comes in the box. This makes for a quick installation. It took about 15-20 minutes to have it up and running. There's an adapter that quickly installs in the window to allow for the vent hose connection. The vent house quickly snapped into place. One thing I noticed is that the plug has a built-in GFI switch. This is very handy to prevent circuit overloads. Once I plugged in the unit and powered it up, the flap on top opened up and started blowing cold air within 15 seconds. The unit is fairly quiet for it's size. Most of what I heard was moving air. Overall, the motor and fan is is quiet.
Features - As I mentioned before, it comes with a remote control that works well. I was able to quickly change the settings and make adjustments. The control panel on the top is extremely easy to read and understand. The layout is very straight forward. It never hurts to read the instructions though. The fan mode is great for moving, circulating, filtering the air. Yes, it has a removable filter which is perfect since I have animals in my home. The caster wheels are so helpful, considering how heavy this unit is. I'm still testing the WIFI features that works with the app. This will come in handy when I go on vacation. I'll be able to control the air conditioner remotely.
Final thoughts - The unit is of high build quality. Although it's heavy, the wheels make it much easier to move it around. Installation was a "breeze." It keeps the room at a very stable temperature and is quiet. As it heats up here in Southeast Texas, I am confident that I will be cool and comfortable.
