I own an awful portable unit now that in fairness was on low end of price scale. Does this unit blow very cold air? I also like the heater option.

It's like a little blower. I definitely recommend it. I am hot all of the time and always haw some sort of portable fan with me. This is now one of my favorites!

I personally think all window units are noisy. We have a newer one in our bedroom and use this model in the dinning room and it does a surprising good job at cooling the whole ground floor of our 5,500 sq ft home. It's about as loud as the one in our bedroom but puts out much more cold air.

Yes, the unit is cool to touch. It is not like a regular heater. Where the heat comes directly from the unit is not that hot as to burn you like a conventional heater.

Please note: this device does not have a heater. It has a heat-pump.Basically it runs the air conditioning in reverse, pulling heat from the outside and releasing it inside.This means that yes, you must exchange air with the outside, cause that is where the heat is coming from. But it also means that if it is very cold outside, there is not enough heat to pump to the inside. If the outside temperature is below 45-50 F it will be very difficult to heat anything. At that point a small electric heater will work better and far more economical.

I have owned mine for several years and not noticed the unit making my room warmer. Basically, it has a multi-speed fan which moves the air across the filter and out the other side of the unit. If anything, it makes the air feel a bit cooler if set on one of the higher fan speeds. I consider the air temperature change to be minimal, if at any at all.

Yes. The unit is surprisingly powerful. I would put it in front of the cold air return and turn the fan on. You DO NOT want to be in the home when this is turned on. It could kill you, it produces so much ozone. We turn it on and get out. Highly effective. Come back later and immediately open the windows to get fresh air in. Good luck!

This unit works great. I love in Alabama and gets hot here also. I have purchased 2 of these units. One for our church over a year ago and one this year for one of my business. This unit keeps our 1200sq ft space cold even when it's 100 degrees outside. So cold that you can't sit under it to long.

It seems to blow the same. I do not use the cool button. I just turned it on and held in the cool button, and the air flow seemed the same.

The 6000 BTU unit has no blower but this little heater works very well in my bathroom. Warms up in no time at all.

Where I used mine....I didn't have an electric bill. But....the efficiency of these is lower than a standard window unit. You are using interior air to cool the condensor, then pumping that now hot air...outside. But if you're pumping air out, it has to come in from somewhere. That somewhere is outside hot air. I would only recommend a portable unit like this if it is your only and last choice. The unit itself works fine, just poor efficiency.

It should NOT blow out hot air. Your unit may be defective. I'm very happy with this product.

No, this unit doesn't cool. The fan blows and osculates the warm air around the room, but does not cool.

I don't know if it's normal or not but mine does the same thing. I think that this is supposed to happen but I also think it reduces the efficiency of the unit. It blows out very cold air but does an inadequate job of cooling the room which is fairly small. Not happy.

I can barely get the energy saver to work, essentialy I keep the remote in my hand to control the unit. The only reason I am happy with the unit is that it blows really cold air.

Yes a small fan blows the heat. It will not heat an entire room. But it is a good supplemental heater.

nothing to noticeable, to be honest. we also have a heat bulb we can put in if cold, which reminds me I should put it in, lol. unit works pretty good for us.
