BLU-09 9,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner Portable 3-1 Air Conditioner, Dehumidifier, Cooling Fan with 3 Fan Speeds, Window Sheet for UK Windows, Digital Display & Remote Control

I'll be honest, I was skeptical about these types of units but now that I have one, I don't know how I ever lived through summer without it before. The difference between this AC unit and a good big fan is Night and Day! Wow! It's changed my summer experience, especially the really hot summer days, from a miserable soaking in the sauna and cursing at the sun struggle fest to a blissful, heavenly zen like meditation session type of experience. Huge difference, sooo happy I bought this!On the cool factor, it definitely has it, especially if you have it blowing directly at you (though not recommended you might get sick), it feels like a ice storm sent from the poles. I really like the remote control too, a little bit better and cooler looking than other units at this price point which makes me feel like my money went somewhere useful. Functionally it's not different than most other units at this price, though you do have 3 fan speeds instead of 2 which is a nice touch. You also have a neat vertical auto swinging function that other units at this price don't often have which helps to circulate the air a little better. However this unit does NOT heat, keep that in mind if you wanted something for the winter too.That said, it's not perfect, but then nothing ever is. Indeed it is a tad noisy, however I did not dock a star for this as for me personally, this is not an issue, however if you intend to sleep in the same room with it, you may want to look elsewhere. For an office or other room where you'll be listening to other stuff anyways, it's fine! Also, don't go in expecting it to cool your entire house or flat, especially if it's big. In my so far limited experience with it, it has been doing a good job at cooling my small office and bleeding some of the cooler air into the rest of my flat too but not nearly to the same chill factor as the room it's in. That said however, I still think it's a God send on these wildly hot summer days!Lastly, in my case, I did have to fight one side of the exhaust tube screwing into the adapter thing for the window side but that might've been just me being silly. I ended up doing a quick pass or two of tape around both those ends anyways to really seal the exhaust air from leaking and it's perfectly fine now.All in all, I'm satisfied with this unit. It's good, not perfect but you'd likely be doubling the cost price to get close to perfect so I'm fine with it as it is. I can definitely recommend this! Just make sure you temper your expectations and know what you're buying :)

I’m genuinely impressed with this air conditioner- it arrived two days earlier than expected, which was a brilliant surprise has it was such a hot day. The packaging was thoughtfully designed: instead of wrestling with a heavy box, you simply lift it off the top and wheel the unit off the base. Very easy and hassle free!The air conditioner itself is sleek and smart-looking. It started cooling the room within minutes and was far quieter than I expected-especially after reading other reviews. It’s simple to use, intuitive,and glides easily on its casters when you need to move itBut what really stood out to me was the exceptional customer service. Around 7pm the same day, I received a call from the seller , concerned that the courier hadn’t confirmed the delivery. She explained how important it is to them that air conditioners reach customers quickly-especially elderly or disabled people-and that they always try to get them dispatched without delay. She was genuinely relieved when I told her it had arrived at 1am and I was already enjoying a lovely cool room.That kind of personal follow-up and care is rare these days and shows true dedication to customer satisfaction. Highly recommended-not just for the product but for the wonderful service behind it.

Why did you choose this product over others?:Good air conditioner - had it since 2018 - but, (1) the hose is too short @1.5m and hard to find an extension (that as sturdy - most of flimsy and emit quite a bit of heat), (2) NOT feasible for those with Velux/loft windows - for sash windows, more doable - although you had to put together the attachment to place on the window sill. Noise level is alright, but probably don't want it on all the time without wearing some type of noise blocker.

Bought this to use in my attic/loft room which I work from home in. Unfortunately it was never built with insulation so gets really warm, 32c plus in summer and freezing in winter.Fans just circulate warm air and do nothing when it’s really hot. Within a few mins of this being on with the duct out the loft window the temp drops 1c. It only takes 30 mins to an hour to bring the temp down to 21c which I set it at so it doesn’t need to be on that long. Because it uses 1kw, I then switch to fan mode to save on energy. The fan mode is really good also and is much more effective than any other fan I’ve used so depending on the temp sometimes just that is enough.I plan to keep using it like this, cool mode for really warm days and fan mode for the majority during summer. Really pleased with this.

The item arrived within one day of ordering and was well packaged with clear instructions on installation and use of the air-con unit.The mains cable is shorter than expected and the exhaust hose would ideally be slightly longer as we have top vent windows. The window kit is also useful with a zip to put the exhaust hose through and plenty of Velcro strip to attach the plastic sheet.The air-con on the low and cool setting was efficient at bringing the temperature of a bedroom down from 78c to 70c within 20 mins, it’d probably be faster on medium or high settings but not so economical. I’ve not used the timer, dry mode or fan and it’s worth noting that batteries for the remote are not supplied.The unit is quite noisy however , it’s not an unpleasant sound and blocks out any noise from outside. The unit doesn’t vibrate on a wooden floor and appears sturdy and well made.It’s not the cheapest or quietest air-con but it does work very well provided that your room is within the limits specified and keeping the unit on a low setting helps to keep electric costs down. Depending upon how it’s used I’ve estimated it costs about 30-35p per hour on low , cool setting used a few hours a day.Overall, I’m very happy with the unit.
