The features and performance are exactly as advertised.
The side sliders to fit it in the window are a little short. We had to supplement the width with plywood to make up the difference but it's ok. We are satisfied with this choice.

Based on my installation a few days ago in a rental apartment this is a very good and affordable a/c unit. It cools and pushes an adequate amount of air, and is much quieter than the Frigidaire window a/c it replaced...an a/c unit that was only five years old. I did have to drill a couple drain holes since the fan blade was "lapping" up condensate water and the supplied drain hole is not in the lowest part of the pan...that's a stupid design flaw that takes 5 minutes to fix. Also, the unit had a few pieces of glue left over in the vent that when I first turned on the a/c they bounced around and startled me and my tenant...after turning off the unit and pulling out the big pieces it was ready to go and the tenant loves it.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I am very satisfied so far with the SPT 12,000 BTU Window Air Conditioner I purchased. I have an area that is around 17'X26' with an adjorning hallway, bathroom and bedroom. The unit cools the whole area including another bathroom, den, kitchen, 2 bedrooms and living room. It can be felt in the entire house. It does not take a long time to feel the results. I am very pleased.
Yes, I recommend this product.

We bought this to repace a verry old AC... it seems a bit louder than the one we had, but over all it works well. I put it in myself, and I wouldn't recomend doing it alone... It is heavy, but doable.
Yes, I recommend this product.

We got this unit to cool the garage during the peak of the Summer months. Although larger than what this unit is supposedly intended to cool, the air in the garge would get 30 degrees cooler than it was when the unit was started within an hour or less. Installation was very easy. It could be done by anyone strong enough to lift the unit. The remote is a nice touch, although we don't use it. It notifies you when you need to clean the filter, which is a very slick thing.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Great air conditioner. I live in a 650 sq ft 1br and this cools down the whole place in less than an hour. It has a remote which is very convenient. It also has the energy saver mode which is great for night time. I was expecting a much higher energy bill than what I got! LOVE IT!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Review 9 for 12,000 BTU Window Air Conditioner

Good features, seems a little cheaply made

For the cost, this is a good product. We've had it installed for about a month now, no problems yet.
However, after the first time I cleaned the filter, I can't get the front cover to fully shut. It seems like the filter isn't made quite right to fill in the opening properly. It's also kind of eerie how far into the unit you can see from the vents, but you get used to it.
Overall, though, it's relatively quiet, keeps the place cool, and was not a pain to install.

Does what it's supposed to
,PostedJuly 23, 2011

There seems to be a lot of discussion about how quiet this AC unit is. Perhaps I don't have enough experience with window mounted units but I don't think it's very quiet. I knew the low setting was rated at 55-60 Dba, which is a conversational level, and you can definitely carry on a conversation with it running without raising your voice but it's still quite loud. Normally the volume on our tv is set at "10-12" and with the AC unit, which sits next to the tv, we have to set the TV at around "20." Perhaps I had high expectations but it did not live up to the hype in this regard.
The dehumidifying mode runs the AC compressor. I don't have any sort of relation to if it runs less than the AC setting on low or not. I imagine it would but no way to confirm. This mode helped sway us into buying the unit but, now that I have experience with it, it is no or little different than running the unit on the low setting. I would not use this mode as a deciding factor.
As far as function, it works well. We have a room that runs electronics and is connected to our kitchen. We have been able to comfortably work and use our electronics without any issue. The kitchen sits at the opposite end of a "room" (great room: family and kitchen) that runs approximately 55'x16', with the stove top at the far end. The AC unit has no problem filling the room with cold air despite temperatures reaching 100 deg. recently. Our house is well insulated and it cools down the remainder of the downstairs as well.
Summary:
cooling ability: 10/10
sound:: 7/10
dehumidify mode: 3/10
overall: 8/10
