Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Most air conditioners are incredibly ugly, but I loved the design of this Danby AC. It has a lot of nice touches, like a little form-fitting cutout for the remote when you're not using it. It's pretty energy-efficient for a portable, and I was totally psyched when I bought it. . . except for the fact that it didn't cool my room worth a damn.
At 7000 BTU, this AC is rated to cool 250 square feet, and I was using it in a 190 square foot room, so I thought it'd be more than enough. Instead, it was only able to cool the room by about 3-4 degrees even after running all night. In fact, when I woke up in the morning it was actually cooler outside than it was inside the room where I'd been running the AC at full blast. Geez, Louise!
I returned this unit and replaced it with a 6000 BTU window unit by Frigidaire. Even though the Frigidaire is smaller, it's much quieter and was able to cool my fairly small bedroom from 100+ and humid (we're in the middle of a major heat wave in the Northeast right now) to about 72 degrees in about 90 minutes.
I had a portable AC by Maytag that lasted about 7 years and worked very well, so I know it's possible to make a portable that does the job, but this Danby was just nowhere near as good as it looks. I'd give it one star, but the design is so much better than everything else out there that I'll throw them a star for that.
