Hisense 5,000 BTU Window Air Conditioner, Easy Installation,Ultra Quiet, Easy-to-install Window Kit Included, 2 Years Warranty

While my central AC's being repaired, 2 of these units are filling in (1 on each floor of a townhouse). They've held up well, including over a 90F degree weekend. They've not only kept their immediate rooms cool, they've kept other rooms on their respective floors tolerable. The dual hoses and inverter have vented most of the heat in the correct direction. Haven't had to insulate the hoses at all. They were trivial to install into the window panels, and the panels were pretty easy to install into the window. Sound levels have been tolerable. There's a bit of humming and slight vibrating at the lowest temp (61F), but they're easily the quietest portable units I've ever heard. The self-evaporating feature has worked perfectly so far. It's so nice not needing to drain it every 10-12 hours (or having to hook up a hose). Unpacking was a model for other similar devices. While there's plenty of padding at the bottom, it's just a matter of cutting the nylon straps and lifting the box up; no need for tipping or for having to cut open the long side of the box. The manual and accessories are nestled in one of the insulation bits, so keep an eye out for them. As for issues, the weight and size are greater than expected. Lifting them up 1-2 flights wasn't easy, even for a reasonably fit person. Fully recommend a handcart with straps, especially a cart that'll handle stairs easily. The units wheel alright over hard surfaces. Carpet or rugs are a bit trickier. Other than that is the power draw. These 2 units have consumed 50% more electricity than my central AC does during comparable weather. Not exactly a surprise, but something to keep in mind. Lastly is one minor UX piece. It'd be nice for the temperature buttons to have a hold feature. As is, the buttons need to be pressed for each degree you wish to adjust. In other words, if it's currently set to 70F and I want to change it to 75F, I have to push the button 5 times (instead of pressing once and holding). Can't speak to the bluetooth or remote control features as I haven't used them yet. Overall, I'm pleased with these units. They're the best portable ACs I've used. They'll fill in well for my purposes, and it's good to have backup units again.

This was the perfect AC unit for a small shed workshop of mine. Small and lightweight (easy to lift for installation) but with adequate cooling capability for my 10 x 18 foot workspace. Oh, and the remote control is quite handy.

I bought this Hisense window air conditioner a couple weeks ago for my bedroom, and so far it’s doing a pretty solid job. Installation was fairly easy — just needed a screwdriver and some patience. It fits snug in the window with adjustable slides and feels stable. Once I turned it on, it cooled the room pretty fast (it’s about a 12x12 space). The cold air feels strong, and the settings are simple to figure out. There’s a remote that works from across the room, which is nice when I’m in bed. The noise level is okay. It’s not totally quiet, but it’s more of a steady hum that actually helps me sleep. During the day, it’s barely noticeable. Overall, it’s a great unit for the price. Keeps the room cool, doesn’t look too bulky, and doesn’t use up a ton of power either. I’d recommend it if you need something dependable for a smaller room! Give it a try!

SHOULD READ BEFORE BUY!! - Absolutely in love with this AC and how cool it can make an attic converted bedroom! Bought the 10,000 btu unit and glad I did because this room gets hot quick due to poor insulation and this AC cools it down to a nice consistent 70 degrees. Decided to give it 4 stars, however, due to one little issue. I’ve had many different window AC units for this same room and I never had a problem with excess water because they all had drains holes. However, I was surprised to see there was no drain holes whatsoever on this unit. I worried for a bit until I did some research and found out that it’s ok for some units to not have any drain holes because they’re designed to rid of any built up water by flinging it into the coils in the back, evaporating it. There is also what is called weeping holes located on the back bottom of the unit to allow the water to slowly trickle if the water should rise too high. So I was relieved to know that there were two measures of excess water build up prevention. I decided to leave it on overnight and I was glad to feel cool during the night, during this ridiculous heat wave. When I woke up in the morning, I was shocked to see a little puddle on water on my window sill. I got a little upset because I had just returned a previous ac that wasn’t doing anything for me and I was worried that I would have to return this one too and look for one with a drain hole. After looking at it for a while, I came to the conclusion that the water built up because of the pitch of the AC. It’s common knowledge that any window AC unit has to be pitched downwards at an angle to allow excess water to drain. I knew this already and never had any issue with any of my previous AC’s. However, this unit was different. My windows only allow for one positioning of any AC. There’s no way I can slope any AC further down because of the bottom tracks/ridges my window frame has. So no matter what, any AC I own is only allowed to sit in one position. However, I never had a problem with the slope or angle. Because of the weight on the back of any unit I owned, the unit would always be sloped properly. This unit though was designed differently. The only angle my window frame allows was not enough for this unit or brand. It wasn’t steep enough of an angle so any excess water that was built up ended up getting flung, not just into the back coils, but also into the front of the unit which caused it to drip down and create a puddle. I’m sure the unit would work flawlessly if I somehow was able slope it down some more, allowing for the water to reach the weeping holes better, but I can’t. Like I said, my window frame only allows for one position. So I worried and I was getting upset. Before I decided if I should even return it, I did some more research and found out that it’s normal for people to drill a small hole in their units if there is no drain hole already there. A lot of people said it helped with any water problems they had. I was a little scared to alter anything on my unit because I knew that once I did, I would likely void any warranty and a chance of return. I was debating for a while if I should. I really wanted the AC to work out for me because I was tired of returning bad ones and I was tired of waiting for new ones to arrive, especially in this heat! However, I decided to take the leap and drill the hole. I mainly decided to do it because I knew the AC worked and cooled my room perfectly which is what I really cared about. I knew I was taking a risk and likely voiding warranty’s and returns but i just cared if it worked in terms of cooling. So I drilled a hole in a spot where the water was most pooling up in the unit. Then I put the unit back in the window and left it running on cool while I stepped out for a few hours. When I came back home, I was so happy to see that there was no more puddles and I looked out another window and saw that the unit was draining excess water with no hesitation. I was also glad that my room was still nice and cold. I’m glad I made the decision to drill the hole but that’s why I had to give it 4 stars. I wish the unit was better designed to accommodate for that excess water, especially for the price I paid for it. I will continue to keep an eye on it and there may be a possibility that I may have to drill another hole in another spot but only if I see that water is dripping towards the front of the unit. So far there is nothing so that’s a good sign. Just be aware to anyone looking to buy this AC unit. You may have to drill a hole into it but it all depends on the slope/angle your window allows. Just note though that if you do decide to drill a hole, you also may be voiding any warranty or chance of returns. And if you do decide to drill the hole, I took a picture of where I drilled mines and so far it’s a good spot if you wish to replicate. Still a fantastic AC! Works flawlessly and the noise isn’t all the bad. Just be prepared to modify! I’ll update if I end up drilling another hole into it or modifying it in some other way.

This portable air conditioner is a bit tall, almost 50 inches tall, but it doesn't take up much space, 13.8 inches long and 13.2 inches wide. I like its design very much, it's easy to clean the dust on the shell, it doesn't require me to connect an extra drainage duct during the cooling process, if I connect a water pipe it can become a very powerful dehumidifier. My central air conditioner broke down, and I didn't want to spend expensive repair fees, so I bought this portable air conditioner and installed it in my master bedroom. It has a very fast cooling efficiency and can quickly make my room feel cool. When I go to bed at night, I can press the silent mode, it will automatically minimize the noise, there is still a little sound but it is within an acceptable range. I usually just turn it on for a few hours and then turn it off when I wake up from the cold. It is worth mentioning that it also has a timer function, you can set the time, it is easy to install, you can easily do it yourself without asking someone to install it! It saves my electricity bill a lot! It has three functions: cooling, heating, and dehumidification. At present, I only use the cooling one. It is high quality and worth the money！

I purchased this item in late June. I was able to install it a few days later, and it cooled beautifully. Unfortunately, it was also emitting a terribly noxious odor. I checked online, and it said this could be "off-gassing." After running for a few hours, it should stop. Well, I fell asleep and a few hours later, my entire apartment was filled with noxious odors that gave me and my child a terrible headache. I called Hisense and was told to unplug the unit, don't turn it on, and a repair technician would be sent. A couple of days later, I received an email stating that these units were not serviced and that I'd have to participate in the "Small Appliance Field Destroy" program. I'd receive a call with instructions. Well, I never received a call, but I did receive an unclear email and needed further guidance. When I called Hisense customer service again, I was told the e-mail was wrong, and I was supposed to "troubleshoot" with them. Troubleshoot what? That the unit filling my home with noxious odors that made me and my child sick? I was put on hold forever and told they'd "try" to get me a refund, but "a noxious odor" isn't covered under warranty, and I should return to Amazon. Easier said than done, since I no longer had the original packaging. The representative said they'd explain this to "inventory" and see if they could send me a replacement unit, and I'd hear from someone within 48 hours. Well, TWO WEEKS passed with no contact, and I called them back again. I was told I'd need to speak to a supervisor, but none were available so that I could expect a call back within 48 hours. I told them I had NO FAITH that I'd hear back and was willing to hold, but the rep said they couldn't hold the line any longer. I was livid and emailed customer service and Hisense management. FIVE DAYS LATER, I got a response via text saying they tried to call me - they didn't - I have my received call logs - they didn't, so I called them. That's today. They said I will receive a refund in 2-4 weeks (summer will be practically over - so helpful!) and once I PACK AND SHIP the defective unit back to them, I'll get a $50 Amazon gift card for my inconvenience. I was told I'd receive the FedEx return label via e-mail. Well, I'm still waiting for the FedEx return label, but I got an email asking me to send proof of purchase again! I have already provided that A MONTH AGO, and the supervisor I spoke to today CONFIRMED that and said I didn't have to send it again. If I don't receive the label within an hour, I'll call again. Meanwhile, during one of the hottest summers on record, I am stuck without the air conditioner I purchased. I plan to update this review to see if Hisense sticks to their word and: 1) sends the label for return, 2) refunds me, 3) sends the Amazon gift card as "compensation." Forgive me if I lack faith in their ability to do the right thing. In fairness, Amazon has offered to help now, but I feel that Hisense should take responsibility and do the right thing. This is the WORST customer service experience I've ever encountered, and I would never, ever purchase any Hisense, Toshiba, or associated product ever again, and will encourage family and friends NOT to purchase as well. Going forward, I'll make these purcahses locally - this has been a terrible experience!

This is exactly what I've been waiting for to install in my Sunlite 16' 13BD travel trailer with its DIY-added 700 Watts of flat-mounted roof-top solar, 600AH of Lithium battery storage and 2,000 Watt inverter. The trailer came with a cheap 5,000 BTU air conditioner which was both insufficient on hot sunny days and used too much power to be run continuously off my solar/battery setup. The old unit consumed ~425 Watts on High Cool, ~60 Watts when the compressor cycled off (rarely), and had a very high measured inrush startup current spike of ~12.9 Amps, which meant I couldn't even run it off my earlier pre-solar 1000W camping generator. This new 6,000 BTU unit is exactly the same physical size as the old unit it replaced but has 20% more cooling capacity and uses much less power with no measurable inrush startup current spike. For example, with my trailer sitting in the spring afternoon sun with an interior temperature reaching 87 degrees, turning on the new AC unit results in a ramping up of fan and compressor speeds to a maximum measured power consumption of ~370 Watts. It remained at this level until the trailer reached my set temperature of ~72 degrees. The power consumption then begins stepping down, first to ~250 Watts with continued cooling, then to ~215 Watts, then it drops to ~170 Watts. It remained at this level while maintaining a cool interior temperature under a continuous spring sun load on the door-side of the trailer. After a period of time, the compressor ramps down and off and power consumption for high-fan-only remains at ~50 Watts (or ~35 Watts on low fan) until cooling is needed again. And if in ECO mode, the fan ramps down and off after ~4 minutes and then consumes under 4 Watts in standby mode. I can imagine that peak power consumption will be higher on hotter summer days, but what I am seeing so far is incredibly impressive! This is the first window AC that I can actually sleep with it in ECO mode because instead of the fan/compressor loudly and abruptly clicking off/on and waking me, it gradually ramps down and then back up! I do wish the remote was RF or Bluetooth based instead of line-of-sight IR based, and I do wish the remote's LCD screen used more English words/abbreviations instead of cryptic symbols, but hey, it's at least a usable remote control, something I did not have before. Note that the power sweep vane is vertical only and can be stopped at any vertical position or allowed to sweep up and down under very low power (<2 Watts) but does require you use the remote to make these adjustments. Horizontal vane adjustment is manual-only but is split in half so you can point air both left and right as needed. I like this new AC unit a lot so far. It's quiet, efficient, and well-featured, but only time will tell how long it survives repeated trips over Utah roads mounted in my travel trailer, versus the much more sedate life it was designed to experience in a residential bedroom window. EDIT 5/12/25: I took a weekend trip to the west desert and encountered much higher outdoor temperatures in the upper 80s with high winds, as compared to my earlier tests at home, and for the first time, I measured power consumption ramp up to approximately 520 Watts upon startup. It stayed at this level for a period of time and when I returned to the trailer later, I found that the temperature had reached 72 degrees and power consumption was now at ~320 Watts, and after a period of time I noticed it was at ~250 Watts (about an hour after startup). EDIT 5/22/25: Having lived with this new AC for a month now, a few words about noise levels... The relative quietness of this AC compared to my earlier cheaper AC was not a major consideration for me personally, but it is interesting how differently this DC Inverter variable speed compressor AC sounds in comparison to the old-style single speed on/off type compressor AC. While this new AC is most definitely quieter, it does vibrate more during initial cool down under hot ambient conditions, until the compressor begins to ramp down as less cooling is needed. Noise levels at each fan speed do vary as the compressor speed starts high and then ramps all the way down to off once the set temperature is reached. Here are some readings measured from 10' away with an ambient sound level of ~26db, with the first number measured at start-up with high compressor speed and the second number after compressor ramps down: Hi Fan: 55db - 52db Med Fan: 52db - 49db Low Fan: 50db - 47db Quiet Mode: 44db - 38db Note the wider sound level range under Quiet Mode, which is an ultra low fan speed, resulting in the noises made by the compressor, circulating refrigerant, and condensed water in the pan being audibly louder in comparison to the very low fan noise. EDIT 6/22/25: This AC has seen a lot of use in my camping trailer over the last 2 months, and yes it can ramp up and draw 700+ watts for a period of time when ambient temperatures are high, calling for maximum cooling before ramping down to maintain the set temperature. And when it is running at these high levels, there is a noticeable vibration which increases the sound level quite a bit until it ramps down. Also, I was curious about all of the negative reviews, and having read them, I can't argue with nor confirm any of them based on my experience and specific needs. There simply was no other brand for me to choose for my application as this was the only EnergyStar inverter-type AC available that fits perfectly in the hole left by removal of the factory-installed 5K window AC in my Sunlite trailer. I remain very happy with this decision. This model WCT06W25A is listed as EnergyStar certified (ID# 3706663) on their .gov website.

Ok this may sound goofy but I am STUCK on how quiet this unit is! Maybe I'm just used to pre-owned units the neighbors give me that, holy cow will make your brain rattle. We got used to never hearing anyone knock and now I find myself checking to make sure it's on because it's so quiet in here \(⁠'⁠⊙~⁠⊙⁠`)/ It arrived safe and sound though I did let it sit for about half the day to make sure the refrigerant and any oils were settled where they should after their trip to here. I was thankfully able to install it myself and I'm a 5’ nothing middle aged chick but I did take advantage of the futon just below it to get it there. I've installed numerous acs so I only did a quick glance at the instructions and they're extremely well detailed so someone who's never installed a window AC should have no problems with installation. They include weatherstripping strips that you may need for around your window, the little metal pieces to screw your windowsill and your air conditioner together so that somebody can't yoke it out of there, and they include these white foam insulation type pads that cover the fins on the sides. So you would put your AC in and then pull your fins across, screw them in place if you can, and then cut the little foam insulation pieces to fit completely over each side panel and stick them in there to help prevent loss of any heat or air and prevent the opposite from coming in. They include a remote that's digital and the best part is it connects to Wi-Fi so there's an app that you can download to control it. Aside from finally having cold air I think the app is one of my favorite features! there? There is so much you can do with it like control the temperature of your AC, set timers, alarms, all that good stuff. But my favorite, favorite part is the meal planner. I'm not quite sure why it's on there, but I think it is a fabulous idea. So many functions to choose from, everything works flawlessly, air flow is just right and easy to adjust and the temperature can be controlled via the unit itself or the app. This has been great for us! I went from two old ridiculously loud pre-owned AC units downstairs (I have a less than 700sqft apt) to this one that actually had us covering up while watching TV tonight!
