About DuraComfort Smart Portable Air Conditioners
Overall Feedback:
95% positive
96% liked the cooling capacity
In 100-degree weather, my game room is cooled quickly by the portable air conditioner.
I have found that the portable air conditioner cools a room faster and is more efficient than any window units I have owned.
The portable air conditioner is easy to use and starts shooting out cold air quickly and quietly.
The AC unit can cool a room or small house quickly.
94% were impressed with the noise level, yet 6% found it slightly bothersome
I appreciate how quiet this portable air conditioner is compared to others I have used before. It's not completely silent, but it's quieter than a box fan or similar devices.
The noise level of this AC unit is comparable to every other portable AC unit I have owned.
The portable air conditioner is loud even in sleep mode, but it is much quieter in fan or dry modes. If I am a light sleeper, it may be best to cool down the room for an hour beforehand and then shut it off rather than keep it running.
I was surprised by the noise level of the unit, which sounded identical to the larger unit we had for 5+ years.
96% highlighted the portability and mobility, but 4% found it cumbersome
Despite its weight, I can easily move the unit around since it has wheels.
I appreciate the portability of the air conditioner, but it is heavy and built solidly. The caster wheels and built-in handles on each side make it easier to move around.
The AC unit is easy to install and has rolling wheels for easy movement between rooms.
This air conditioner is portable and can be moved from one room to another.

94% commented on the air Filtration system
I haven't needed to drain the air conditioner even in humid conditions, indicating that the air filtration system effectively removes dust allergens and other particles from the air.
93% found the ventilation options useful, while 7% were indifferent
I have noticed that the air conditioner ejects hot air through the hose and the sliding window adapter doesn't work with mesh screens or one-piece hinged windows. However, there are adapter kits available that can stick to the window frame.
This portable air conditioner is a single-hose system, which is not as efficient as a dual-hose air conditioner. The cooled air inside the room is passed over the condenser coils to cool the system and then blown outside, which results in losing some of the air that I have paid money to cool.
I faced issues with the exhaust hose and window vent. The collapsible plastic exhaust hose made it difficult to set up when moving from room to room. I had to cut the window exhaust panel with a hacksaw to make it fit. It was hard to maneuver and constantly disconnected when moved.
96% appreciated the remote control and smart features
I appreciate the convenience and functionality of the Smart Life app for smartphone control and the remote control's nice features, including the ability to use it as a remote thermostat to maintain the set temperature where I am instead of at the unit.
I appreciate the convenience and functionality of the remote control of the portable air conditioner. I like that it can act as a thermostat and bring the temperature to the proper level wherever it is placed.
I can control the air conditioner remotely using the app and smartphone.
I like using the app as a remote control whether I am at home or on my way home. It helps me cool down a room after it has been hot all day.
