We live in an older 3 floor walk-up and are on the 3rd floor. We have window units and have always wanted a portable unit. This was a great opportunity to try out a new unit from a brand we were unfamiliar with.
Overall, we are satisfied with the unit - unboxing and setup was relatively easy. Also it cooled off the room pretty quickly. It is really quiet compared to our window units which. is a plus because it is currently in my daughter's bedroom.
However, the setup did have some challenges - our windows are older and we have storm windows. We needed to properly arrange the window and storm window a few times to keep the exhaust locked in and get a good seal. The unit also takes up a lot of space - the exhaust tube is flexible but requires a lot of space.
The controls and remote work well, but there is a significant delay in response time. That said, the different modes work exceptionally well. We've had quite humid weather this summer and the dry mode is fantastic when you need to suck out the damp air. The cool mode works super fast, and the fan is quiet and move the air around.
I will say Hisense did a great job with the box. I was worried I would have to lift the unit out of the box but the base of the unit and box slide right apart. Very intuitive packaging.
My final word is if you want a quiet and fast cooling unit that you don't mind taking up a bit of floor space this is the way to go. If you have a smaller room and need to maximize available space you may need to go a different route.
I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion.
