Review: Works great! - I just got this today. I was really nervous because there were quite a few complaints and I just wasn't sure how well this would work. That being said there have been a lot of good things about this unit. It came a day early, which was wonderful because my home office is not climate controlled and the hot, humid summer of KY is about to kill me (90+ days already with 80% humidity). It was very easy to set up (took less than 30 minutes). It has cooled my office down from 86 to 74 in one hour. I had a ceiling fan and another fan in my office up until this point and they just weren't cutting it any more. I was expecting this to be loud, but on the low fan setting it has cooled my office really well and I can have phone calls and not have to turn off the unit. It is much more quite than a window unit. It is pretty loud on the highest fan setting, but I'm in a small space and don't need the high setting. I was considering getting an Emerson Quiet Kool, but it was a lot more expensive. I decided to try this one instead and save some money and I'm not disappointed so far! I am happy and cool for the first time in over a month and hope this thing works for a while! If anything changes, I'll revise my review, but so far it's great!
Review: Only option that would fit - and it works - PROS about as small and light (50lbs) as they get comes with remote comes with window kit powerful fan thermostat very little assembly/packaging CONS no accessible drain pan machine itself only had power button (no controls) loud OVERVIEW I live in a 300sq foot studio with a 15 foot ceiling and a south-facing bay window. My apartment gets hot when it's sunny and is almost always damp/humid. I got the Koldfront because it was the only unit that would fit in my available surface area: on top of my kitchen cabinets. I already had ducting running through my cabinets to vent my over-range microwave, so I popped the Koldfront on top of my cabinet and tied the exhaust into my existing duct work. It takes the Koldfront about 5-7 minutes to cool my apartment down to habitable from digustingly hot. Technically, I think my space is supposed to be a little too big for this machine, but having it blow cold air across my ceiling seems to do a good job of displacing all the hot air, and since it's located high up, it should be sucking warm air out as it cools the condensers. I ran this machine for a couple of days at ground level and was less than excited about it's potential, I could actually feel a temperature differential about two feet off the ground between cold and hot air. But moving it closer to my ceiling made all the difference. When it was on the floor, all it did was move air and maybe cool a little bit. Now that it's at ceiling height I'm actually getting chilly. FAN SPEED There are three fan speeds: high is pretty loud, and low is still relatively loud. I've gotten used to it pretty quickly though, it pretty much acts as white noise, dampening external sounds. MODES AC, Dehumidifier, and Fan are the available mode settings for this machine. I'm happy about these options since you won't always need/want the condensers coming on and off, and you can dehumidify when it's cold out without turning on the AC. WATER RESERVOIR The koldfront is supposed to vent humidity out through the ducting, but has a water resevoir for high humidity situations. Unlike some machines, the reservoir isn't a bucket that you can remove from the machine. To drain the reservoir, you have to pull out a little plug at the bottom of the AC, which is about two inches off the ground. That doesn't give you much room to maneuver a drain pan. Fortunately, at 50LBS, it's not too heavy to put in the bathtub and let drain there. The lack of an accessible reservoir is a definite con though. Apparently the Koldfront is made to be able to hard-wire a drain, so that may be an option for some. I ran my machine on and off for a couple of days in San Francisco and it drained something like a cup of water. I don't know the total size of the reservoir, but the drain indicator lite hadn't turned on yet before I drained it. THERMOSTAT I've read some reviews complaining of an inaccurate thermostat on the KOLDFRONT, but mine seems to be about spot on. REMOTE AND LCD PANEL Don't lose the remote, or if you do, hope you had your Koldfront set exactly how you want to have it because there's no way to change settings without the remote. The remote itself is pretty intuitive, with power, up, down, mode, fan speed, Celsius/Fahrenheit, timer, and cancel buttons. And it comes with batteries. The LCD panel reads the ambient temperature in either Celsius or Fahrenheit until you press the up or down button on the remote, in which case it reads your preset temperature preference. There's a blue/green/yellow LED that indicates whether you're in AC/dehumidifier/ or fan mode, respectively. The information on the LCD is large enough to read from several feed away. ASSEMBLY Like most appliances, the Koldfront came with a cardboard cover over the packaging and plastic ties keeping it on. You just cut the ties and lift the cardboard cover off the machine. Inside, there's just a couple pieces of Styrofoam, the AC, and the window kit, plastic duct, instructions, remote, and two AAA batteries for the remote. The AC itself doesn't require any assembly, aside from plugging the duct in. The drain plug on mine had popped out, so I just twisted it back into place. There's a little more involved in assembling the window kit, but the instructions are pretty good on how to get that together. All you need (if your window is the right size) is a phillips head screw driver. The window kit is held into place by the weight of your window and doesn't need to be screwed into the window frame at all. CONCLUSION Overall, I'm happy with my Kodlfront. Mine arrived fully functional out of the box, and raising it to ceiling height has made it a lean, mean studio-cooling machine. It's a little bit bigger than I had guessed from the picture, but it's still smaller than most, and fit where I needed it to. It's loud, but inexpensive and has a built in thermostat and remote. Draining it is going to be a hassle, since I've moved it out of easy reach, but there's nothing else on the market that would have worked for me, so four stars for working properly, but not five, because of the lack of controls on the machine, the lack of a removable reservoir, and the loudness of the fan.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing
*by G***K on September 16, 2019*

This unit is powerful and well made. Cools my second floor nicely. I have 3 bedrooms and a bath upstairs in a 100 year old house with odd AC ducting. My 2nd floor always stayed 10 to 15 degrees warmer than downstairs with the AC running. To get the 2nd floor cooler, the first floor would be freezing cold. This is a great fix, and with an 8-foot run of ductwork to the window, it positions the unit closer towards the center hall. Removes humidity, cools effectively. Might be a tic loud for a light sleeper if it's in the same room. I have it in one of the Guest Rooms and it doesn't bother my sleep while running on High. I highly recommend this unit. I can't manage window unit on my own. I did that a few years back. Too heavy and scary for a second story application. This unit weighs about 40 or 50 pounds but you can position it close to the window, or up to 8 feet away. Then in the Winter, roll it into the closet (it rides on 4 casters) and shut your window. Super easy.
