Dreo Portable Air Conditioners, 8,000 BTU Air Conditioner for Bedroom with Drainage-free Cooling, 45dB Quiet, APP/Voice/Remote, 24h Timer with Fan & Dehumidifier, Smart AC Unit for Room Indoors

Best air conditioner I've ever owned. Had never heard of this brand, but the very uncommon high percentage of good reviews, and the fair price, led me to try this model out. Over the last 21 years, I've owned 7 air conditioners. Two were window units and 5 were portable units with exhaust hose. Until I got this Dreo unit just over 3 months ago of a HOT summer, the window units I had were traditionally always more effective at cooling a room than the portable units. Heck, 3 of the 5 portable units I owned didn't even produce cool air after less than a couple weeks of use. And prior to the Dreo, the other one I owned made it thru 3 summers, but didn't get all that cold, despite being a 10k BTU unit and the Dreo I got is only 8k BTU. But it gets COLD, and VERY fast. This 8k BTU Dreo portable unit puts out colder air than all 6 of the previous AC units I've owned. And those used more power too, 10k BTU each. The "swing" feature is also VERY effective at wafting the cold air all over the room, without need of a separate fan to move it all around. Very, very effective unit. The Android app is great; easier to use than the remote control, especially in the dark. I also like how you can turn off the unit's display completely, and the chime sound, to maje it easier to sleep. And the "sleep" setting is actually to make the compressor quieter and turn off and on again less frequently, making it easier to sleep thru.

Granted we've only had it a day now so who knows how it'll stand the test of time but so far it's excellent. It was significantly smaller & lighter than the one it was replacing so I was initially worried it wouldn't cool as well. This was definitely not the case, it cooled out room quickly & well. It's well made & looks nice. It was very straightforward to get set up, probably the least hassle out of any we've owned. There is a remote for it, & the app is awesome. It was super easy to pair to the app- it pretty much did everything itself- & you can do/view pretty much anything from the app. The app also has the user manual & maintenance on it, which is a blessing for people like me that lose literally everything. Works great, very impressed. Hopefully it stays that way. So far would definitely recommend.

Buy this--Dont waste your money on any other air conditioners- this is better than any window air conditioner, portable air conditioner and even beats split acs or heat pumps if you are to think of how much much it costs to get a heat pump installed for the whole house. I have had this portable air conditioner since April this year. The evaportator functions works as advertised. It is easy to install, has wheels, cools the room and surrrounding rooms excellently. It is less noisy than a portable air conditioner. The noise level is good and doesnt bother when I am sleeping but most nights I end up turning it off before I go to bed as the room is already cool from running it for a few hours in the evening. The air conditioner is well-built, I love the quality. The remote has its own spot where it magnetically attaches to the air conditioner. I can control the air conditioner through my phone and through my voice on Alexa, what more can I ask for, I love it. I wasted hundreds on other window air conditioners and nonsense fans and air coolers, dont waste your money. Buy this and you will not regrest your purchase, I am one happy customer.

I live in an old house with no ac and summers over 100 degrees. I finally broke down and bought the ac unit. It works well for the small space of my bedroom. The app is easy and convenient to use. There is also the option of a remote. I gave it four stars only because it’s loud when it “switches gears” (I have no clue what its actually doing but it makes a clunk sound when it is trying to maintain a temp once it’s reached). The tube that connects to the window also doesn’t fully click into place and it has fallen off the windows multiple times. Other than that, it definitely keeps my room cool!

I'm pretty impressed with this AC! I have 4 portable AC units total in an older 2 bedroom apartment: a Danby and a Hovato in the main area, and a Tosot in the main bedroom, with this taking up residence in the office/2nd bedroom. The insulation isn't great so it's typically only a few degrees off from outside temps, especially in summer (what can I say, it's otherwise decent and absurdly cheap!). So each room has it's own AC, with the living/dining/kitchen area being large enough to need 2. As mentioned the Dreo lives in my home office and doesn't take long to cool the room, it seems to be more powerful than any of the others. It is quite quiet too, so I can keep it on low fan or low + cool during calls without too much noise. None of the other 3 would be able to do that. This outperforms all of the others, and though I'd love to move it to one of the larger rooms the noise trade-off isn't worth it. One thing to note is that the window kit would not accommodate a sliding door, only a window-sized opening. So far the only machine to come with enough panels for a door-sized opening is the Danby we have. The rest you would need to order additional proprietary panels. I don't love that. Wish they would just throw in the extra one. This is also the only one to have advanced features like the app that the others don't have. Easy to use and quick to respond as well, which is a bit rare for apps it seems. It also has a filter cleaning reminder, though it's based on hours run only, so not indicatave of how dirty the filter actually is. In a house with just two adults, no kids nor pets it usually goes for 2-300 hours without needing cleaning, far above the 100 hour default reminder. Overall this is a pretty killer machine, with advanced features, very powerful cooling, and very quiet to top it off. Well worth it, though it seems to be unavailable at this time. Still they have similar models that you can look to. Overall recommended!

My old AC is similar, also 14 000 BTU but 10-15 years older. This is like night and day, it cools way better and half as loud. It is actually pretty quiet, not that much more than a fan. When the cooling start you can hear the compressor start but it's not much more loud. The fan from low to high makes more of a noise difference than the cooling itself. I used it in the last heatwave and it worked pretty well, always comfortable even when it was so hot it was not able to keep the temperature as low as asked but I don't think any portable AC could. One thing this AC has that other don't always have is the automatic oscillation up and down, it helps a lot to cool a room because the air is circulating more and it's not always going straight in the same direction. Another thing I like is that the panels included are pretty tall, I have one tall window and usually panels are not long enough but this one provide one more panel than usual. Good to note that the panels have a weird shape ( included in my pictures. ) so they won't be compatible with other kits available online, if you ever need to replace one panel or want to extend it. The panel and hose being black make it seems less cheap but that also make it way harder to find matching panel. Another minor thing I like is the magnetic remote you can simply leave on the AC. I always had to add velcro or something to hold the remote on my previous AC but this one has this fixed and it looks nice. I did not remove any stars, because it's not something I needed, but I was not able to test the app. Like too many appliances still, it is wifi 2.4ghz only and my router use the same SSID for 2.4ghz and 5ghz which confuse them.

This air conditioner is a solidly built and reliable unit, offering impressive cooling performance and convenient features. With a cooling capacity of 12,000 BTU, it’s significantly more powerful than my previous model, and it efficiently cools my bedroom and hallway. The fan, even on its highest setting, moves a lot of air and cools the room quickly. It's surprisingly quiet, even with the compressor running, and doesn't vibrate excessively—though there is a slight noise when the compressor kicks in. The unit’s design includes a motorized front vent that opens and closes slowly when the AC turns on or off, which is both amusing and a bit unnecessary. The included window kit and foam tape for sealing ensure a proper fit and airtight seal, making setup easy. I appreciated that the unit came almost fully assembled, requiring only the window kit and hose connection to be set up. The air conditioner also has a built-in evaporator, so there's no need for frequent draining or a floor drain, as long as the room isn’t too humid. This is a great feature since my older AC model often had condensation issues. Despite its large size, it’s easy to move thanks to smooth-rolling wheels and handles on the sides—though the handles could be a bit deeper for a more comfortable grip. All in all, this AC is an excellent choice for keeping a larger space cool and comfortable without too much hassle.

Elegantly designed, this portable air conditioner works very well. Set up: It was very easy to unpack and get it started. It came with lots of foam, double-face tape, long good quality air hose and plastic window pieces to fit any window or balcony door size. I love that some of the pieces are length adjustable, which made it fit perfectly in place. Performance: The AC worked perfectly. I needed for my 200 ft2 office. It took less than 5 minutes to turn that hot and humid room into a very pleasant and cool room. Noise wise, it's pretty quite and doesn't produce too much noise. I can easily sleep while it's running. Can it be improved? Maybe... the only thing that I think it can do better is oscillation. It oscillates up and down but doesn't do right and left, which I think would be better. I like this AC and I think it can even handle a larger space. But for the space that I'm using it for, it's excellent and would highly recommend it.

- Big and bulky, which is to be expected from an air conditioner. That is why the caster wheels that come with the unit are super useful to move the unit around the apartment, from one room to another as needed. - The overall look is futuristic and looks like a piece of technology from years into the future. Does not look boring like the other portable air conditioners I have used in the past. - The sleek smooth curved body looks great. - The large LED display on the front gives all the necessary information and details. - There are several touch buttons on the front to control fan speed, temperature, sleep timer, etc. They are very responsive to the touch and I have not seen any noticeable lag. - I love the top opening design of the vent. That allows cool air to be thrown up towards the ceiling first before that cool, heavy air falls towards the floor. This is a nice design and helps keep upper areas of the room cool right from the beginning instead of starting with the floor like other air conditioners do. The vennt also sends air out swinging from side to side, and I love that design idea. - This one is definitely one of the more quieter air conditioners I have ever used. Not too loud. You can still hear it working but it does not disturb your concentration and after a while you stop hearing it when your ears/brain gets used to it. I like that quiet design. - The best part about this unit is that it is "smart" and connects to Google Home or Alexa. There is also the manufacturer's app to allow for several different controls through the phone, but I usually control the unit through my Google Home. It works fine and I have not had to use the manufacturer's app too much. I only use that app occasionally. - All in all, this is a beautiful looking, smart home compatible, silent, sleek, modern looking portable air conditioner that can be moved around in the house as needed. I love the performance so far.
