Fast delivery, easy to use and it works.
The item arrived within one day of ordering and was well packaged with clear instructions on installation and use of the air-con unit.The mains cable is shorter than expected and the exhaust hose would ideally be slightly longer as we have top vent windows. The window kit is also useful with a zip to put the exhaust hose through and plenty of Velcro strip to attach the plastic sheet.The air-con on the low and cool setting was efficient at bringing the temperature of a bedroom down from 78c to 70c within 20 mins, itâd probably be faster on medium or high settings but not so economical. Iâve not used the timer, dry mode or fan and itâs worth noting that batteries for the remote are not supplied.The unit is quite noisy however , itâs not an unpleasant sound and blocks out any noise from outside. The unit doesnât vibrate on a wooden floor and appears sturdy and well made.Itâs not the cheapest or quietest air-con but it does work very well provided that your room is within the limits specified and keeping the unit on a low setting helps to keep electric costs down. Depending upon how itâs used Iâve estimated it costs about 30-35p per hour on low , cool setting used a few hours a day.Overall, Iâm very happy with the unit.

Excellent
First off. The window vent kit is a lot more practical, simple and durable than others I’ve seen. I haven’t installed it yet, though judging by yhe quality of the velcro I am hoping it will be a breeze.The unit is sleek and slim but packs a punch. A little noisy but I don’t mind that at night.The duct fits easily onto the unit. I bought an extender so I can move it about without too much hassle.Bring on the hot weather.

A great unit
Been using it for a month now and my wife and I are very pleased with its performance. It was easy to setup as the instructions were simple to follow.It has a good amount of features like fan speed, timer, etc. The remote control works great. However, be aware that it will reset the timer if you turn on the timer on the AC itself and then use the remote.We only use it in our bedroom and it cools the room down really fast.It doesnât really make much more noise than a fan, except some water drizzle as the coolant is going around but itâs not a problem.Only con is the pipe can be a little tricky to get in position properly in the window but thatâs about it.I can recommend this AC if you need to cool down a small bedroom or personal home office.

3 years later, itâs still working wonderfully
I bought this air con because of the good reviews and thankfully it hadnât disappointed. Weâve had this for 3 years (I bought it for £360 back in 2020 so the price is actually £10 less right now) and it is a GREAT little machine. Cools a large room, to the point that when London reached 40° last summer, our bedroom at night was even, dare I sayâ¦.coldâ¦.we were under the covers. Haha! Id recommend buying this before it goes out of stock. We bought a secondary air con that is a different kind for the babyâs room and it is frankly not very good, much heavier and was way more expensive. Plus the other unit doesnât have self evaporating coils like this one. If your unit doesnât self evaporate, you have to run a thin tube out and let it drain in a washing up bowl. But with the Blu Air Con, itâs perfect and minimal effort besides running the tube out a window. I wish I could have purchased a 2nd of this model but it was unavailable when we wanted to buy another one again. The noise of it doesnât bother me. I agree with another reviewer that it sounds like relaxing white noise.

A great AC unit!
I did so much research and read so many reviews before making my purchase so hope this helps others when deciding on which portable air conditioning unit to buy. In the midst of a current heatwave I have now been able to try this unit out and can comment on how effective it is, so here goes:- it came well boxed and wrapped, it is heavy but once inside and opened up the instructions were fairly straight forward for assembly. I have windows which conventionally open outwards (rather than sash or tilt openings) so I havenât fitted the window guard for holding the hose in place, I just hang the hose out of the opened window and pull the blind and curtains down and across which is fine. The unit makes about as much noise as a powerful tower or pedestal fan. I have a big bedroom (about the size of a double garage) and this unit chills the room to a comfortable temperature within 30 mins, outside temperature has been around 29-33c, the rest of the house inside was around 26-27c. This has been a godsend, I am so happy I made this purchase, it has meant we can sleep in comfort and coolness. I havenât tried out the sleep mode yet, I have figured out how to set it so will have to have another look, however I have used the timer and tend to set it to run for about 2-3 hours, if we find the room starts to get warm again after that then we have just put the fan on. The unit is on wheels so can be moved around, (a bit hard on carpet but fine on laminate flooring). The only thing is after our first night of using we woke to find the kids had dragged their mattresses into our room! Now we know how great this unit is, I think we will be buying a couple more for their bedrooms.
