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’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 it But 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.

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 :)

In terms of its core function for most people - providing quick and easy solution to cooling a space with minimal setup - this definitely does the job. At least when new and with full charge of refrigerant, the unit is able to cool a room almost unbelievably quickly. I'm used to car air conditioning that seems to take a while to get going but this isn't like that at all - it simply starts pumping out cool air almost as soon as its turned on. The fan is strong (if somewhat noisy) and can circulate that cool air around most size rooms quickly and efficiently. I'm using this in an average sized living room and it is able to cool the room comfortably within minutes of being turned on. The only real downside is the heat exhaust pipe. The pipe is firstly just too short - it barely stretches one meter, and since the unit has to be placed at least 30-50cm from any walls, this just isn't long enough to reach a window unless placed right in front of it - the exhaust pipe REALLY needs to be longer. The 'seal' provided for placement around the window is also a major faff to install, especially if being used on ground floor windows that need to be shut when not in use - it relies on velcro for seal and the seal is one-size-doesn't-fit-all. Honestly, the pipe and pipe seal together are almost enough to make you tear your hair out, and its such a shame when the unit itself is so great. The unit is fairly heavy but is easy enough to move around when needed. I've no regrets about buying it since it makes the room so much more bearable in summer, but I really wish they'd put more thought into the heat exhaust pipe and the window seal. As it is, recommended, but 4 stars rather than 5.
