Pro Breeze 4-in-1 Portable Air Conditioner 9000 BTU - Smart Home WiFi, 24 hr Timer, Window Kit, Powerful Air Conditioning, Class A Energy Efficient AC Unit for Home & Office - WHICH? BEST BUY AC AWARD

Delivery was great, pretty easy to unpack. Set up on wifi using SmartLife app was remarkably easy. All up and running in just a few minutes. Installing the window opening cover was fairly easy, wish I'd spent a bit more time ensuring the window was very clean as a couple of bits struggled to stay stuck. I also supported the pipe a bit as its quite heavy to stay in place. May need to work on that. The only downside is its quite noisy, I could sleep with it on, easier than when it was unbearably hot before after all, but don't expect a gentle humming breeze. Power usage is not bad, around 1kW.

I bought this unit specifically for the bedroom because I simply cannot sleep when it gets hot. Overall, it absolutely does the job, but there are a few things you need to know before buying. My Routine for a Freezing Bedroom (The Secret to Success) First things first: this machine is loud. There is no getting around it—even the fan on its lowest setting is noisy. Because of this, here is the routine I use in London: About 1–2 hours before bed, I remove the duvet from the bed (VERY IMPORTANT). I set the aircon to the coolest temperature with the highest fan speed. I close the bedroom door and drop a towel in front of the gap to completely seal the room. When I walk in at bedtime, it literally feels like I’ve jumped into the freezers at my local Sainsbury's! If I turn the unit off at bedtime, the room stays cool for about 3 hours before getting hot again, which is usually enough time for me to fall asleep. It does have a "Sleep Mode" which is quieter (though still noticeable). I’m personally willing to sleep through the noise to keep the room freezing all night, but the Mrs isn't, so we have to turn it off when we get into bed. The Negatives The Noise: Do not complain about the noise if you buy this after reading my review! I’ve warned you—it is loud, even when just using the fan. Bulky Hose & Window Kit: The exhaust hose is very bulky and looks quite ugly in a bedroom. Plus, if you have side-hinged windows, using the plastic window kit means your window has to stay open a few inches. While it seals out rain and wind, it lets in outside noise pollution (cars, people, etc.). You can take the hose down and close the window fully every night, but it’s a total faff. Moving it is a Pain: It’s heavy and bulky. While it has wheels, moving it downstairs for the day is a chore. Plus, the warning sticker on the front states you should wait 2 hours after moving it to let the gases settle before turning it on. You’d also need to buy a second window seal for downstairs, and since the family constantly leaves doors and windows open during summer anyway, it defeats the object. No Hose Insulation Included: The exhaust tube gets incredibly hot, which radiates heat back into the room and makes the unit work harder. It really should come with a heat shield. I bought an insulation blanket off Amazon for £15 to wrap around the hose, which completely solves the problem and keeps the heat out. Security Risk: If you plan to leave it running on Sleep Mode all night on a ground floor, be aware that your window will be left slightly open. Design Quirks: I would prefer the air vents to be on the very top of the unit rather than the top-front panel. The manual direction flaps are also a bit finnicky to adjust. Finally, it has no heater function, so it's strictly for summer use. The Positives It Absolutely Works: As long as you buy the correct BTU size for your room, this thing chills spectacularly well. Better Sleep: I can finally fall asleep without waking up drenched. It has made my days much more productive because I'm actually rested. Smart/Wi-Fi Features: The Wi-Fi control is an absolute game-changer. Being able to turn it on from another room is fantastic. You can even control it when you're out of the house or set smart schedules (e.g., setting it to turn on at 8 PM so the room is ice-cold when you get home at 10 PM). Post-Shower Relief: If you're like me and usually overheat right after showering and getting dressed, cooling the room down completely stops that from happening! Bottom Line If you can look past the noise and the bulky setup, it’s a lifesaver for summer. Just buy a hose jacket for it, set a routine, and enjoy the cold air!

So far so good, unfortunately I've not used it during heatwave yet. But I've been able to drop my 23c room down to 16c and felt the effects across the whole top floor of my house & the fan only mode is nice just for a breeze if it's a warm night. App setup was easy enough, and Alexa integration works for nicely for Alexa turn on the AC, fan only mode, cool mode & off. For those worried about the expense of running this, I'd suggest buying a smart plug with energy monitor built in so you can keep an eye on the expenses and only use it when you really need it.... Talking around 30-35p an hour of running flat out. -- It turns off AC when temp is at target, this costs will be reduced.. but initial flat out run is pricey & the more heat there is the more often it'll be on. Portability - it's portable in once you have it you can wheel it around the floor, but it's about 15kg I believe and quite awkward/must be kept up right so transporting it up and down stairs frequently isn't something I'd consider an option, sure massive heatwave I'll move it downstairs and keep it there for the duration. There's no motorised oscillation which while I generally point fans etc at me and that's it I was quite surprised you have to direct the air manually. Quality wise, pretty good very heavy remote is generic but functional and there's no real issues. My only gripe however is it's quite noisy, even on normal fan mode -- while it certainly shifts some air, it's substantially louder than my existing fans, I have a large 18" metal fan which is more similar for noise... And with air conditioning mode on, add to that the noise of a loud refrigerator. But, honestly when it's hot I really wouldn't care in the least.. really looking forward to the next heatwave and being able to sleep in comfort.

“I’ve been really impressed with this Pro Breeze 9000 BTU air conditioner. It cools down my bedroom surprisingly quickly, even during the warmer days we’ve had recently. Within 15–20 minutes the room feels noticeably cooler and much more comfortable. The setup was straightforward, and the included window kit made installation easy. I also like the Smart App and remote control, which make it convenient to adjust the temperature without getting up. The unit is easy to move around and the timer function is useful for cooling the room before bedtime. It’s not completely silent, but for a portable air conditioner the noise level is perfectly acceptable and well worth it for the cooling performance. Overall, great value for money and a fantastic purchase for anyone looking to keep their home cool during the summer. Highly recommended!”

cooling excellent but far far to noisy for a bedroom

It cooled my room by about 7 degrees in an hour. It was easy to set up, looks amazing, and powers up through heatwaves quite well. Portability is top rated due to wheels installed. Very powerful when put on high too. I don't have enough space to have one in every room but what I do, is I set it up in my bedroom and leave an extra fan on rotating and pushing the cold air from the Pro Breeze towards the door so it goes into my living room too. Very compact and efficient!

It works very well & hooked up to the app easily. Feels well built and the accessories supplied are a bonus. Be aware this unit is not quiet in-fact it’s noisy. If it had a quiet mode it would be 5 stars But when you are uncomfortably hot I suppose it doesn’t really matter. I would have liked a slower fan speed as it only has low or high. The sleep mode I was hoping would be that slow fan quiet mode but it’s not. If you are putting it in the bedroom then maybe some headphones with noise cancelling would be an idea. It came with blue tape on the side joints I messaged them and was told they are just for transporting and should be removed.

This is our 2nd AIr con unit replacing our old one . It is excellent , really quiet and lovely and cool in our lounge WIll be ordering another one now for upstairs Highly recommend this AIrcon
