SereneLife SLPAC12.5 SLPAC 3-in-1 Portable Air Conditioner with Built-in Dehumidifier Function,Fan Mode, Remote Control, Complete Window Mount Exhaust Kit, 12,000 BTU, White

This AC has greatly improved the quality of my child with hyperhidrosis. He absolutely loves it. It cools quickly, looks very sleek, and the wheels are smooth. Setup was very quick and easy, with one caveat. The window exhaust kit was too long to fit in a standard USA window. It IS adjustable, but only to get LONGER, and not short enough to fit without obstructing the exhaust port. I was able to solve this easily with a miter saw. After cutting off about 4 inches (10 cm), we were in good shape. The window width is about 34 inches (86 cm), and that was too short for the window slider.Pros:- Cools extremely well- Looks nice and high tech in the bedroom- Adjustable vent fins are nice.Cons:- Isn't too loud, but this is subjective. It isn't exactly quiet.- You may have to cut down the window exhaust kit to fit properly. This could be a deal breaker for some people, so I hope they fix it.

I bought this little dandy because our primary system is not working right and we needed something to cool a large bedroom at night while the AC repairman is waiting for parts to come in. This SereneLife 12.5 portable unit has been running continuously for five days and nights now and is doing a great job. I was concerned about the hassle of draining condensation but that has not been necessary so far - and it has been more humid than normal here lately. The instruction booklet says that in cool mode there is some kind of self-evaporation system and I guess there must be because after it had run a couple of days I did remove the drain plug just to check and only a few ounces of water came out, so I quit worrying about that. Noise is going to be subjective and I was concerned about that too, but for no need. We've been pleasantly surprised and don't find it to be very loud at all and most of the sound it does make is white noise, which has actually helped our sleep. It's much quieter than any window unit I've ever been around. I really like the design of the window vent kit, but did have to shorten the smaller sliding section by a few inches as others have also mentioned. With a circular saw using a plywood/laminate blade it was smooth and easy, but a simple miter box and hacksaw should do the job too, just anything to help make a smooth/straight/square cut. Last but certainly not least, it's blowing some mighty cold air and I plan to keep this thing handy even after the primary ac system is fixed. It was among the most competitively priced options when I bought it and well worth the coin. Just my own opinions and experience here, yours may differ. Good luck!

This bad boy really WORKS! It’s pretty heavy but makes up with great power and air flow. The Dehumidifier feature doesn’t really work as much as I was hoping though. It only seems to make the room extremely cold without actually sucking in the humidity (or maybe I’m using it wrong?). I own a chinchilla and lemme tell you, this bad boy makes it nice and cold in his room.Remote makes it extremely easy to use.

Honestly, a great buy. I live in FL, and I’ve had this for 2 years so far, and to deal with the heat, humidity, and the Summer time right now, it’s been holding up well. I kept up with general maintenance, like cleaning the filter, draining every month or two, and it’s strong. The sleek design makes it ideal for tight spaces, and it makes my room nice and cold, even at 75’ degrees. I have a container under it, just in case it starts to leak, I rather be safe than sorry considering I have carpet LOL (it’s happen in the past with other brands of A/C units). The mini controller it comes with works well, I try not to overuse it though, considering that it feels cheap. It’s easy to use, and if this one ever breaks down, I plan on buying the exact same one. 2 years strong, definitely worth the investment.Will update if something changes! Till then, a 5 star it is!

This is a review for SereneLife SLPAC14 Portable Air Conditioner (14,000 BTU). I had a great AC that died recently. So, I did some research to find the ideal AC, however I had the hardest time choosing one due to lack of information on the AC’s listing pages and lack of honest opinions. So, I’m writing this review to help you make the right decision, or rather to save you from making the same mistake I made.In short, this AC is not good. Stay away. Don’t buy.To elaborate more:- Manual is in broken English. Some instructions are hard to understand.- The AC is heavier and larger than an average portable AC. Plus, you need around 20 inches of space around it, and the hose needs to be 35 inches up and away from the floor. Small room? Low window? No good.- Manual states “When the temperature is higher than 40c/104-f, it’s not recommended to use this unit.” Go ahead, buy this AC, but don’t use it when it’s hot outside. Shouldn’t this be in the product description? Shouldn’t one know BEFORE buying?- Wheels are useless. Needs A LOT of effort to move the AC if you have carpets on your floors. Therefore, it’s not truly portable. You can’t easily move it from window to window, and you might need help to get it to the window you want to install it in. Can’t comment on wooden or tile floors.- Manual states “If the machine is shut down in the cooling operation state, it needs to wait for three minutes before it can be turned on automatically”. And that is exactly what it’s been doing. You set it to cool and pick a temperature. When it reaches the set temperature, it turns totally and completely OFF. Three minutes later, it turns on again, then off. Without switching to fan mood in between. Why is this a problem? Well, you know when you first turn on white noise? You notice it at first, then it blends into the background. It drowns out all other annoying noises and helps you sleep, work, study, etc. Even when it’s loud, you don’t notice it until you shut it off. That’s what this AC does. It turns on with a LOUD white noise, then it turns COMPLETELY off. Doesn’t switch to fan mood. Then, a few minutes later, it turns on again. So you are constantly listing to the sound of white noise turning on and off, repeatedly. It gave me a terrible headache within the hour. It wakes me up every single time it turns off, or on. No restful sleep what so ever. I woke up exhausted and grumpy. If you want peaceful, restful sleep, this AC is not for you.- Control Panel: It sings TELALA in a loud, high-pitched voice, announcing itself to my entire building every time I press any button (panel or remote). How do you feel about your AC shouting at you every time you touch its buttons? If someone is sleeping, and you attempt to adjust the settings on this AC, you’ll wake them up.- Remote: Doesn’t sync with the panel on the AC. If you use the panel to turn on the AC and adjust the settings, then you grab the remote to change something. The settings on the panel will suddenly revert to the last settings you choose the last time you used the remote. All the settings you picked on the panel are now changed. Basically, you’ll need to stick to either the remote or the panel at all times and don’t touch the other. Although, if you want to use the temperature in celsius, your only option is the remote.- Window Kit and Hose: The hose is paper thin. So thin it wrinkles and lets in heaps of heat and sunlight. Window kit is just as bad. Thin plastic. Warps when you close the window, leaves tons of gaps, and doesn’t even fit a standard 35”-36" window. You’ll need to shed an extra $50 for a new kit.- Filter: A cheap thin layer of mesh. Never seen AC filter this cheap. Already showing signs of wear and tear and it’s brand new.- Drain Outlet: There is only ONE drain outlet. Positioned at the very bottom of the AC. It’s so low, it’s touching my carpet. No space, not even for the thinnest pan or tray. If there was a second outlet, you could easily open the bottom outlet (water won’t flow yet), hookup a drain hose, then open the top drain outlet, and THAT will cause the water to flow from the bottom drain. But with just ONE outlet, you need a yard, balcony, or other suitable place that allows for draining without a tray or hose. Many people don’t have such options. Also, when the AC tank is full of water, according to the manual, it’ll start beeping. Who’s in for a midnight awakening during a heat wave because the AC is throwing a fit?- Cooling Power: Even though I got the 14,000 BTU, and the temperature outside is only 22-c/72-f, and the room the AC is in is about 350 sq, I’m sweating! Most likely because the AC is not switching to fan mood. It just keeps shutting down every few minutes. Leaving me feeling suffocated with no flowing air or white noise to save me from my noisy neighbours like my previous AC did!Conclusion: The heat is sneaking upon us here in south California. It’s hard to believe how unlucky I got with this AC. Trapped in this terrible situation. Unable to afford another AC, and have no physical strength, transportation, or help to return it. I just want to cry. So upset. Sad beyond words. Do yourself a favor and look into other ACs from other companies. With that, I end my review and hope that it helped you in your search. Best of wishes to you all.
