Its great. No buckets of water to empty daily and well worth the cost. I use it to cool a spare bedroom that is usually very hot, and it has made that room cool enough to make it comfortable to sleep in. It does vent out a window, but easily moved into closet during cooler months or as a back up a/c when the whole house air fails. It will only cool one room, but at this price point, ([...]) its well worth any short falls. Velcro remote to top of unit so does not get lost is suggested or keeping remote in a nearby draw for safe keeping.

As a previous poster noted, Amana does not acknowledge the existence of these rebadged Haier units on its site. Unfortunately, Haier also does not seem to acknowledge them, making support put-near impossible. The a/c unit does require a small window (or a large one largely blocked off) which can take some work if your windows are not the right size, but that's true of any unit like these. It is a very handy unit, without the need to empty buckets. It is also fairly noisy, with odd controls that require the remote. It was great the first year we had it, less so the second despite careful storage. You'd probably do better with a domestic-production (or European, or Japanese) unit if you can find one.

While this is a nice unit, it does have a significant drawback. All controls are not on the cabinet. The remote control is required. If the dog chews the remote, you will be up the creek without a paddle. (Actually, they do give you an extra remote, but after that you are on your own.) Don't try ordering another remote from Amana... this unit is an Amana in name only and is not supported by Amana. All that said... I kept the unit anyway.

This unit works great. It is really powerfull and pretty quiet. Comes on wheels so it is easy to move around. Keeps our large rooms cool right through the summer. Note this needs to vent out of a window. No problem for me and I'm really happy with it!
By Anthony Wasserman (San Francisco, CA USA)
This product is advertised as being portable, but it must be attached to a window vent to work. It also won't work with a sliding glass door. So it's not portable. When I called to complain, the customer support supervisor would not give me contact information for higher management. She wanted my name and contact information instead.
Buyers should also know that Amana is now owned by Haier, which is owned in part by the government of the People's Republic of China.
