Shinco 12,000 BTU（7,500 BTU SACC) Portable Air Conditioner, Portable AC Unit with Built-in Cool, Dehumidifier&Fan Modes for Room up to 450 sq.ft, with Remote Control, 24 Hour Timer, Installation Kit

Really happy with this purchase. Cools down quickly. I like the wheels to move it away when I don’t need it. I had to cut down the window insert to fit my small window but it was super easy to score/snap to fit. My only complaint is that the plug blocks access to the other outlet. Outlets are not well-placed in old homes so a little bummed because of the only outlet I could commandeer both slots was next to a window I really didn’t want to use. Not an dealbreaker. Overall, would recommend this air conditioner for someone looking to cool a large room.

After using this unit for a few weeks, (98°F yesterday) I've found it to be quite effective. It really is in a fight too, because it's cooling an open loft room in our log home. The floor area is 20 X 25 feet. Even so, it can maintain 70° F on my wife's the side of the bed. If this was a closed room, there would be ice sickles. It does remove gallons of water so I keep two 2-gallon buckets to catch the condensate. I mentioned the quality of this unit. Well, the quality is so obvious at a glance! Very beautifully built, and the styling is very sleek & modern. The modest cost of around $305 was well worth it. I recommend this unit.

DO NOT BUY THIS. It broke 1.5 yrs after I bought with only light summer use. Light use meaning infrequent use during June, July & August and then the rest of the time it sat unused in the same room I installed it in. During its last week of functioning (June 1st - 4th) it started to shake the whole machine when the condenser would engage which I thought was weird, but it kept blowing out cold air so I didn’t think much about it. It worked ok this morning (June 4th 2026) when I used it for a while and then turned it off as I was leaving for the day to do other things. Upon my return this evening I turned it on and all it did was blow hot air, the condenser refused to engage. Trouble shooting didn’t seem to effect anything so now I just have this $400 fan that I now will need to pay to throw away/recycle as no one will take it otherwise due to the condenser chemicals. So now I’m hot and pissed, great combo when it’s 90 plus degrees inside my house. Save yourself time and money and get something else.

I'd previously purchased a similar Black & Decker 10k BTU unit for a different room. This 12K BTU Shinco doesn't seem to be quite as effective. Oddly, it sometimes seems to do a better job of cooling if you set it to dehumidifier mode (a nice feature the B&D lacks) rather than A/C mode. The included window kit wasn't quite long enough for my windows (the B&D just fit), but fortunately I had a spare SIKADEER window kit that fit both the window and the Shinco hose. The unit has a folding vent cover on the front (where the cold air comes out) which automatically opens when you turn it on. The vent cover seemed broken when I took the unit out of the box, but it turned out that the pieces just needed to be snapped back into place. Took me a minute to figure out how they were supposed to go, but it's worked fine ever since. It's not exactly quiet, but it's about as quiet as you can reasonably expect from what's basically an enclosed box fan pushing air over the cooling coils and out the vents. It does have some nice features. There's a timer so you can set it to wait a few hours before turning itself on. (Useful if you're going to be out all day, don't want to waste energy leaving it on the whole time, but do want the room to be nice and cool when you get back.) The remote can be handy if, say, you want to adjust the temperature without getting out of bed. This isn't a bad choice, especially if you can get it on sale. But I think I like the Black & Decker unit better for my purposes, even if it doesn't have a dedicated dehumidifier mode.

This unit is amazing. Easy to use it doesn’t take up too much space and cools down an area and helps make it very comfortable. It is a little weighty so be careful when getting it out the box. Its appearance is simple and nice. The setup was a little trying with the vent but it got put together. The window piece couldn’t extend out all the way so I had to take out the extension piece completely and fill the rest of the slack with a piece of ply wood but that’s my only gripe other than that it’s a solid unit and if I had to pick it up again I would.

Consider buying another one considering this unit does such an amazing job. It can be as quiet as it it loud depending on the setting. Very powerful unit. Quick and easy to install, and vent kit that came with was high quality I strongly recommend

This air conditioner works great, it cooled my bedroom down in about 10 minutes. It keeps the room at the temperature i programed it at. It is a little loud but extremely happy I bought this one.

Cools down an upstairs effectively, however my tube arrived cracked and damaged at the end.
