Garvee 12,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner - 3-In-1 Cooling, Remote Control, Fast Cooling for 550 Sq. Ft., Low Noise, Sleep Mode, and 24-Hour Timer

I bought this GARVEE 5000 btu window air conditioner for my small home office, and it is a lifesaver. Installation was a breeze; it’s lightweight enough that I could set it up myself without help. It cools the room down in about 10 minutes and stays very quiet while running. For a mechanical control unit, it feels very sturdy and reliable. Perfect for anyone needing to chill a bedroom or small workspace! My only gripe is the unit seems to be smaller than ones of comparable BTU. While it does cool down my small home office of about 250sq-ft, it struggled to keep up in my bedroom of 450sq-ft. Just keep that in mind when ordering this air conditioner, other than that it's a fantastic little unit!!

Wall mount air conditioners have come a long way over the decades. This is a really nice unit and has excellent features. One of my favorites is the 24-hour timer. We run on an energy plan that we select and it's nice to be able to effectively have this turned off during the high peak time without risking it coming on on its own. It will also shut off when the timer expires. It has a strong fan that quickly and quietly cools down a room with three speeds. This is a very complete well thought out and well made unit. Actually got this for our garage and I'm amazed how well it cools down a two-car garage even with the sun shining through the windows. I would definitely recommend it as an excellent value and a great way to cool that extra space be it a sunroom a garage or an outdoor shed.

So this air conditioner works fine. It's not adequate for a large room, but for a small room, especially as an adjunct AC to help a main AC keep up on hot days, it works well. It's pretty heavy, and be VERY careful not to touch the back fins, because they are sharp and they will cut into your fingers. (Ask me how I know.)Assembly in a window is pretty straightforward - after putting the top rail and side fins on, you position it in an open window and close the window on the top rail. However, it's precarious - the instructions say to just put it slightly outside of the window ledge ... in an open window ... when it is very heavy to the back ... so doing it by myself I was just picturing it tumbling several stories to the ground below before I could secure it with the closed window.I actually put a notebook under it on the outside ledge to keep it from falling backwards, which I then had to reach around from the neighboring window and retrieve. So, it would be better if it had little feet or something. It also tells you to make it slightly tilted back a few degrees, and a built in level would help that a lot. So it would be better with a few modifications to make installation easier, but once it's in that is no longer an issue.Also, it's pretty loud. That didn't bother me, but it did bother my husband ... if you like white noise, this'll be great for you! If not, well, you may want to pass.

We decided to install this 5000 BTU window AC unit in our kitchen—which might sound like an unusual spot—but it’s actually right in the center of our home and had the perfect window size for it. The unit arrived very well packaged, with everything protected securely, and installation was surprisingly easy and straightforward.Living in Florida, our main goal with this AC was to help maintain a cooler temperature during the intense summer heat. Our central AC tends to struggle to keep up at times, so we were hoping this unit would help take some of the load off—and so far, it’s doing exactly that.We tested it out today, and it kept the house at a steady 75°F without the temperature creeping up like it usually does. It blows very cold air and runs quietly, which was a pleasant surprise. Overall, we’re really happy with its performance so far and are optimistic it will make a big difference during the hotter months.
