  First of all, I should mention that I found it on sale for around 200 euros. With the heat we've been having lately, I didn't hesitate much! I was tempted and bought it without doing any research!

  I’ll start right away with the advice for those who don’t want to read the long text I wrote.
  -- Don’t buy it. It’s not good. --

  More specifically.

  Initially, it is an air conditioner for cold air, a fan, and a dehumidifier. It DOES NOT have a hot air function. This is to avoid confusion.

  I wanted it exclusively for cooling, and its intended use was a small, open space of about ~25 sqm~, not perfectly insulated, closed (small window opening for the device's exhaust hose) and generally for simple use. As I mentioned in the introduction, unfortunately, it proved to be inadequate.

  To be completely fair, if you are positioned right in front of the air outlet, it cools. However, it will in no way provide sufficient cooling for your small space. So if you plan to buy it thinking about the portability and performance of a small wall inverter... you will be sorely disappointed. It seems that 800 watts / 7000 BTUs simply are not enough.

  Aside from the classic temperature and intensity functions, it also has a Wi-Fi mechanism that theoretically allows you to adjust it as you wish via your mobile ~SmartLife app from the store~. It’s unnecessary to mention that it has compatibility issues... like a cherry on top ~in my case~ the accompanying remote control didn’t even work... so everything is manual.

  It should be noted that it is quite noisy (65 dB). It’s like having 2 fans running at high intensity simultaneously. For me, it’s bearable, however, there are many who generally cannot tolerate noise.

  Regarding the liquids, they exit from two outlets (middle and bottom). Strangely, it does not come with a rubber hose... (!!!) so you have to buy it yourself (commercial ones fit for standard faucets). For better understanding, look at the photos I uploaded. Another negative, a sign of poor material quality... is that the caps for the liquid outlets may not fit well, resulting in spills... at the spot where you have the air conditioner ~during its operation~.

  Something that doesn’t show in the pictures but is a reality for portable air conditioners is the exhaust hose for hot air. In this case, it is about 1.5 meters long, so it would be best to use it near a window or door. Otherwise, it will expel hot air into the room (you don’t want that).

  In summary, we are talking about a product of low construction quality and disappointing performance. The consumption/result ratio makes me regret purchasing it.

  Have a good summer everyone.

  Notes:

  1. I have no issue with people who disagree with my review. However, it would be more productive for all of us if they publicly shared their own different experience.

  2. If you absolutely want a portable air conditioner, it’s better to look for 12000 BTUs+ and mainly check the reviews.

  3. I have it on a chair to facilitate the drainage of liquids.

  4. Even portable air conditioners require maintenance.
