Dreo Portable Air Conditioners, 12,000 BTU AC Unit for Bedroom with Drainage-free Cooling, 46dB Quiet, APP/Voice/Remote, 24h Timer with Fan & Dehumidifier, Smart Standing AC for Room Indoors, AC515S

QUIET!!After an extensive rabbit hole search for the best bang for our modest pensions. We settled on this unit. Settling on this $500 unit as an investment for years to come. After our apartment complex management no longer allowed window units but require portable units that have a zero clearance on the outside of the exterior windows.We ordered this months before it was actually needed. May 1st was our first 80+ day. So here are the facts.Arrived promptly. Packaged 10 out of 10.Easy to unpack. Directions are clear and easy to follow. Took maybe 20 minutes to set up. Remote is really easy to use and senior friendly. Display on unit is easy to see and understand.The space is staying a very comfortable 75° by choice.This Unit is cooling, Aprox... 400sq ft. area.Living, Dining, kitchen, entry combined open floorplan. Long wide hallway that leads to 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. We keep those doors open to those areas during the day. These spaces are not as cool as main area but not blistering hot either.We have this Unit in the dining room farthest from the living room. Everything in this shared space is at a comfortable temperature. Unit is considerably quieter than the one it replaced. We've really enjoyed the fact that it is like a mellow white noise in the background.Our apartment is a 60's build apartment with very high raw timber ceilngs with little to no insulation. We typically keep the drapes closed in the winter to reduce draft from windows and equally closed during the hottest part of summer. Bedrooms have their own individual units that run in the evening with doors closed when needed.This unit will run on auto, economy at 80° during night time when common living area is not in use.

My honest review.. I normally don't leave any reviews.. I purchased this because i play video games and I truly get hot. My room itself will get extremely hot with my PC and i've had days of my room getting up to 80-86 degrees. I'll admit that temp is horrible to game in. I purchased this in hopes that it would truly help. I received my order a few days ago and have ran it throughout each night. I also ran it while I was off work today and played video games. This fan is so amazing! It blows ICE cold air. I run super hot and have never been frozen until now. Not only is it comfortable as heck to game for as long as I like. But sleeping is sooooooooo amazing now! I keep the AC on fan level 1 and can sleep peacefully all night long. I am shocked that something was finally able to cool my room down completely while I game. While gaming today and it being hot outside. My room stayed as a comfortable 72 degrees with the AC being set to 73. The AC also doesn't run 24/7. It only runs when it detects the temp going up and then will turn off which is amazing. The app is also flawless on the phone. Installation was pretty simple, the Remote control is perfect if you don't want the app, however the app is way quicker. For what I paid, I can say it was worth every single penny. I may update this review in the coming months to update whether i still love it or if i have any issues

I received my unit about 2 weeks ago. I read all the reviews good and bad and here’s my take. I live in a 35 foot RV in Florida (it’s HOT). This unit cools my entire Rv. The noise level is less than a window unit and while the display is bright, it’s not bright enough to keep me awake. As of right now, I’m extremely pleased with this purchase. While it is pretty heavy, it was super easy to set up and immediately dropped the temperature by 10 degrees within 15 minutes. I would recommend this unit to anyone who needs a portable unit.*additional edit* I’ve seen some reviews where people complain that it switches modes on its own. We keep ours set on high as it is intended to cool a larger area. However, when that temp has been reached, the unit will switch to low until the area starts to warm up again. Then it will switch back to high.

Excellent AC unit. Cools the room down quickly. It's quiet. It's easy to install.I had a small issue upon delivery. The box was really beat up (thanks UPS), and I'm pretty sure one of the panels for window installation fell out. I called Dreo, and they shipped me a replacement very quickly.I just call a callback after a couple of weeks from Dreo to check in on me and the product to make sure everything was OK. Thanks, Jane from Customer Support!This is worth your money.

A bit overpriced, like everything these days but whatever. At least this unit delivers some cold air, but it only cools downtown 65 which is kind of lame considering it has to kick the compressor on and off, and you only get the really cold air when the compressor is on. I would expect it to go to 60.I'm beginning to think none of these standing ACs are great compared to a window AC unit or a quality central air.This is the third standing unit I'm trying from Amazon. I tried two different MIDEA standing AC units and had to return them both. One was a returned item sold to me as new, and the other did not cool well AT ALL. I would stay away from that brand personally.This Dreo unit is very good. Unboxing was as expected. Quality packaging and everything in new plastic. The unit iteself feels quality as well. Immediately upon turning the unit on everything is pleasant, and to my surprise the front directional blades are automatic going up and down to direct the cold air evenly. You can also pause them the direction you want.The App controls are great right from your phone via wifi, schedules etc. etc. I've used Dreo for my tower fan products and I'm pleased with this AC as well compared to the Midea I tried. I just wish it blew the cold air for longer periods I guess,but it works and when it's blowing cold air it is pretty darn cold.One thing they need to improve is how the exhaust clips into the window insert. It works but it's hard to do after you install the window divider and screw the window locking brackets in place for an older window.
