[Smart Wi-Fi App Control] With Wi-Fi app control, Dr.Prepare's portable air conditioner lets you change the temperature and mode settings from anywhere and at any time. Whether you're on your way back home and want to pre-cool the room, or you're in bed and don't want to get up to turn off the air conditioner, you can do it effortlessly using the app.
[Intelligent Timer Settings] With smart scheduling in the app, you can control your AC from anywhere. Set your ON/OFF routines and let the AC handle the rest. Alternatively, you can easily configure 1-24 hour timers via the intuitive touch panel or remote control (AAA batteries not included).
[4-in-1 Portable AC] In cool mode, it provides powerful cooling for rooms up to 300 sq. ft., with a temperature range of 61~90℉ (16~32℃). Ideal for hot summers and spaces with poor ventilation. Sleep mode, available only in cooling mode, maintains a quiet 45dB noise level for a peaceful night's sleep. Use fan mode for air circulation, and dehumidifier mode for removing up to 46 pints/22L of humidity per day, perfect for damp or rainy days.
[Easy to Move & Healthy Cooling Air] This portable air conditioner features four easy-roll casters and two side handles for easy room-to-room movement. The removable, washable, and reusable mesh ensures clean and healthy cooling air by protecting your family from dust and pet dander.
[Easy to Install and Use] Assembling it is tool-free, and installation is a breeze with the included accessories.

Its memory function will retain your previous mode and temperature settings, and it will automatically restart when power is restored, excluding manual power outage conditions.

Title: 5 stars for the quality, performance and features to the price ratio.
Review: Not sponsored review. I purchased this AC unit for $230 my own money and I'm satisfied. I have a central AC unit at the house but my sons room just cant get cool down to the comfortable temperature. After taking all in to the consideration it was the best option at this time to purchase a small separate unit. The room is not that big so this AC cools it down fairly quick which which is important with the current electricity prices (NY). It is not a whisper quiet, as I never came across an AC that was, but its quiet enough to sleep with it running without any problems. Installation was quick and easy, although I will most likely remove the exhaust vent with the window panel for the winter. What I like the most and it was the deciding argument for this model, the app and Wi-Fi. You have full control of this AC from your phone, including the schedule. You can setup the day and time which will turn on and off automatically and cool down to your desire temperature. There is one thing I would improve, I think it would be nice if more then one phone could control the same AC. Unless I'm mistaken and doing something wrong, when my son added this unit to his app, it stopped working for me. And as we all know well, daddy must have control over the thermostat so...

Title: Excellent machine
Review: I have a space that is difficult to heat in spite of central heating in my house. It is a kitchen/dining room/library that runs across the back of the house. My space heater warms the entire big space quickly and efficiently so I never have to run it for long. I worried about expense but so far, so good. It fits my needs well.

Title: Very cold
Review: This works as advertised and freezes our little 275 sq. ft. room. It's pretty heavy (check weight), so you may need help initially setting up, although it does have wheels. My biggest complaint is that there are only two fan speeds: loud, and louder. Even the "sleep" mode, the fan is still very loud.

Title: Not as good as they say it is
Review: 1st, I always check reviews before a purchase. Maybe I got a bad unit, but it didn't work all that great. I live in a 2 room apartment & this thing didn't cool off my bedroom. The only reason I decided on a portable ac is because I'm getting up in age & it's easier than lifting 1 into a window. I contacted customer service-joke. They told me to make sure it was vented out a window & on cool. Sure, cuz I'm a complete idiot & didn't think to do that. Then they replied to tell me they couldn't reply because of 4 days of holiday. Really?The cover over the filter had to be held on with tape or it just fell off. It has a very noticeable hum. It was not quiet at all. The thing just sucked. I went & bought a 5000 btu window unit for $100 & am happy with. Bedrooms nice & cool. So how come an 8000 btu portable couldn't do it???It was junk. Sent back & waiting for a refund.The only thing I liked, I could turn it on with my phone. Not worth the price.

Title: Does what I want it to do
Review: I've have health issues lately that prompted me to become more active. Unfortunately I live in Florida where the outside temp stays just below the boiling point, so we turned our enclosed sun room into a small gym. However, being surrounded by windows in the Florida summer, its impossible to keep the room below 80 degrees. I didn't want to super cool the rest of the house, and it just needs a little help to get to comfortable temps. I purchased this Dr Prepare 8000 BTU unit to help make it happen. The unit has a very small footprint, maybe a foot square, doesn't require a lot of startup amps getting the compressor started so it doesn't pop the breaker. Is small enough to maneuver anywhere in the room, and is VERY QUIET. What more could you ask for? I'll tell you APP CONTROL!. This was the only unit in it's price range that is able to be controlled over WiFi, plus it can be set up on a timer to turn on/off when you want it. It uses the Smart Life app ( I just happened to already have for other items). This way, if I follow my setup routine, it is already precooled and ready for me, or if I'm leaving work, and maybe want to hit the treadmill once I get home, I'll turn it on remotely, and once I get home, the room is perfect. Now will this unit cool a large room all by itself? No, not at 8000 BTU's. But if you have a room that needs a little assistance, this unit is perfect. Small, cute, quiet, and effective. All that at a great price!

Title: Out of.many purchases this is a great if not the best
Review: Typically I'm not happy about purchases through Amazon. This seller is a devoted person dedicated to making things happen. This will be my second machine coming and it's within a day. The unit has many features. And works better than my old 12000 but unit I have in the wall. I wish I had gotten a second one sooner. It's almost too cold. But that's okay. It doubles as a fan. After coming home in 90-100 degree heat. It's great to walk into a cold home without the crazy electric bill.

Title: On the fence
Review: NOTE: Most of the reviews for this product are people that received it for FREE. Ok, so far...this thing is definitely cooling down my apartment. It's been running for a couple of hours because I wanted to see what it could do. Being in Colorado where central AC is an upgrade, I needed this AC for keeping my kitchen cooled down for my Summer time baking business. And it's still cold/rainy here for the most part. It starts to heat up real good in June.I'm fairly certain this is probably a used unit. It's letting off a cigarette smell that I can't seem to detect from the unit and I am a non-smoker. I smell the air and up close, I don't smell it. I'm gonna give it a couple of days to decide if I need to trade it out because I definitely can't cope with it. I'm trying to be optimistic, but it's pretty strong.Setting it up was easy, connecting to wifi was simple and overall- I like the unit.UPDATE: 5/18/2024 I love this unit. Still has a smell on/off of cigarette that comes from the back of the unit but I'm hoping with time that it fades. I like that I can control the unit from my phone if I want to cool off the apartment before we head home from a full day at the ball fields. It also can be connected to Smart devices. I was able to hook it up to my Alexa and it works great.
