Perfect for dorm rooms
This compact unit will fit very well in small spaces like a small bedroom or a dorm room. The 8000 BTU cooling power will easily chill up to 250 sq. ft. spaces. The unit itself is very compact and lightweight, so it’s easy to store when you don’t need it and easy to move around, thanks to its casters.

Doesn't need supervision
Once you have set it up, you can leave the unit to work autonomously. It has a built-in thermostat, so you can just set the desired temperature that the room needs to be chilled to. The continuous drainage feature allows you to connect a hose to the AC unit and drain the condensate away from the unit, so it doesn’t need to be emptied from time to time. If there's a power failure, the unit will automatically turn itself on once the power is restored.

The manual could be better

Can be programmed with a timer
This unit has a timer that allows setting when the unit needs to turn on and off. With this, you can set the AC to turn on before you return to your home so that the air is already cooled when you arrive.
