SereneLife 3-in-1 Portable Air Conditioner with Built-in Dehumidifier Function,Fan Mode, Remote Control, Complete Window Mount Exhaust Kit

12,000 BTU Unit - This is the 3rd floor model air conditioner I’ve purchased and I love it. The packaging was very sturdy. Heavy cardboard box, thick styrofoam padding and nylon straps outside the box protected the unit which was delivered in perfect condition. Unpacking was a breeze. One of the things I love about this unit is the exhaust hose is a heavy, more rigid plastic material that easily snaps into the unit. Other units like this came with flimsy exhaust hoses that needed to be stretched over the exhaust port. I always ended up buying heavier hoses and attaching them with large steel “worm” clamps. Not necessary with the SereneLife unit. The window insert is not as tall as others so it allows more visibility out the window but because of the size and characteristics of my window I had to raise it with a 1” board cut to fit the sill. I also had to trim about 4” from the slide out part for it to fit in my sill. Not a big deal. Took me a minute with my table saw but could easily be done with a hand saw. On a positive note, if you have a very wide window this will fit with no extra work. Also there is a tab to lock the slide expander j to place. I’ve never seen this on previous units. A convenient feature. Now to the important stuff - cooling the house… The unit easily cools my L-shaped living / dining room area as well as the attached kitchen. That’s about 1000 sq ft.. I do have 2 ceiling fans running at slow speed to help circulate the cool air. It is MUCH quieter than previous units I’ve owned. There is a feature that allows the cool air directors to slowly oscillate up and down. I don’t use it but you may find it beneficial. It has a sleek appearance that is aesthetically pleasing. The price was very reasonable for such a powerful, effective air conditioner. Now I’ll mention a few negative issues… 1. There is no screen to cover the outside end of the exhaust port. Depending on where your window is critters and debris can easily find its way into the hose. I’m going to make a screen cover for it. 2. The remote is pretty flimsy and there is no display. My other units had remotes that displayed the same info that is in the unit display. Also the lettering of the functions of the remote buttons is really tiny. 3. As stated, the window unit is very low profile and very wide. Depending on the design of your window you may have to raise the window insert and/or trim the width of the slide expander. All easy things to do but know that it’s possible. All and all I’m very pleased.

AC unit works as expected. Was easy to set up. COLD air and cools the room quickly. Will update at the end of summer. Hopefully the system can handle an Arizona summer.

It works pretty well, but it can be really loud and starts and stops a lot, which can be challenging if you're a light sleeper. Apparently that's a problem with portable ACs in general, though. I had to cut the window insert to get it to fit, so be aware that if you have a smaller window you might have to do that.

Works as expected. I think of it as primarily an A/C unit (it cools more effectively than it heats, but the heat does work). For heat, it seems to seamlessly reverse the heat exchange output so that the cold air goes outside and the warm air blows out of the front (reverse air-conditioning). It's a thermostat-controlled warm heat. It's not hot-hot air. It's warm to very-warm air. It has been good for supplemental heat in winter. The fan power is very good. The cooling works quite well in the summer. I find the noise level acceptable. The remote is handy. Timer function is useful. I'm pleased enough with it that I now have two.

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.

It doesn't take any time at all for A/C cooling or dry mode to kick in and immediately cools down the room. It's only the end of spring in Canada but I wanted to get one before the prices skyrocketed, so I've only played with the functions. Mostly I have it on the fan mode but am using the dehumidifier more often and it works very well. Our previous one was only 8,000 BTUs (This one is 10,000) and we had to make shift fans all over the apartment to circulate enough air to reach the bedroom. (It sucked.) I'm more than confident that we won't need to do that anymore. The power behind this unit is kicka** and it doesn't fool around. You say "Cold" and it says "No problem!" I like it. I'm happy with it. I did need to adapt the window thingie because we are using it in the patio door, but I was expecting that. For a window, I think it would be fine. It was on the lower side of the average price going right now and for all of the ones I examined on here I settled on this one because it kept coming up in the results that I was put in for the different searches describing what I was looking for, what I needed. I figured "Why not? It's got everything needed and is reasonable for what the competition offers." I'm not disappointed at all.

Petit climatiseur économique très bien pour ma petite chambre. Mais il est un peu bruyant mais quand il fait très chaud en s'en fou.

Este producto ha estado trabajando optimamente. La instalacion fue rapida. No necesite de servicios externos. No fue dificil, la caja traia todo lo necesario. Entro en operacion inmediatamente, funcionando muy bien. Lleva algunas semanas en operacion constante y hasta el momento opera al 100%. Solo observar muy bien la ventana donde se colocara el tubo de expulsion del aire caliente que es realmente muy caliente y fuerte, de tal manera que se adapte bien para que quepa y ajuste correctamente con el panel que trae la caja, ya que el tubo tiene correctamente cierto flexibilidad que realmente permite cierto movimiento del enfriador, lo cual es positivo para poder dirigir el aire frio a donde estemos sentados. En conclusion, totalmente recomendable.

Lo que mas me gusto es su versatilidad para moverlo de un lugar a otro, facilidad para instalarlo y la capacidad de enfriamiento, ventilación y calefacción, que aun que no lo he probado aun, creo que tambien sera satisfactorio. Lo que mens me agrado es que si hace un poco mas de ruido que un ventilador y si eres alguien que acostumbra dormir sin ruido, puede ser un inconveniente. Por lo demás muy bien.

I just got the SereneLife 10,000 BTU Portable AC and I’m really impressed so far. It cools my room quickly, is easy to set up, and I love that it also works as a heater, dehumidifier, and fan. The remote and timer functions are super convenient. It is a bit noisy on high mode, but totally manageable. Great value for the price perfect for small to medium-sized rooms!
