so unpackaging it was a pain in the butt because I was down a hand (injury). and I didn't realize until I was tearing into the box that I could've just lifted up on the box and then picked it up to take the styrofoam off the bottom. A little card of how to take it out of the packaging would be nice but...Setting it up was very easy I mean very very easy! The only thing that was difficult is the dang tube! what I found that worked is I only stretched the very end of it and kept the rest of it compressed and then held it with my legs and screwed it on it kept going on crooked so I resorted to desperate measures lol. once the tube is on though it's pretty sturdy.When you first turn it on it's pretty powerful! I mean the whole machine makes a jolt. and it will cool down a room that is around 83° weather down to 65° in 25 mins.you're able to angle the direction of flow too up down left and right.it claims to be very energy efficient per the yellow sticker, it says it only adds $77 annually. The rating on the website is a bit confusing because one thing says it has one star and then the other one says that the rating is 6.5.I had to resort to a small trashcan next to it to collect the condensation, I started with a water bottle but that filled up insanely quick!There's two options to let it fill up or two have it continuously drain into a bucket or container.I opted to put some type of container by it because the location where I have it is a little bit cramped.I don't really use the nighttime mode where it claims to be quieter, I can sleep through a tornado lol it does have a loud fan like noise and when it's working really hard you hear the compressor shutting on and off and it makes a loud jolt.I got the 8500 one for 300 ft.²my bedroom is around 120 Square (feet i think) paid around 202 usd.With memorial day holiday it got delayed two days but Amazon kept me updated where it was.Another complaint is the window panel piece, I first couldn't even figure it out how to attach it to the hose then I just gave up after I realized it wouldn't even fit in my window. so I resorted to cardboard and just folded it to make it have a seal. No issues with that but if it's raining heavy then I have to take it out. I wish that different sizes were sold instead of just being told well you can cut it in the directions. another thing if you really do not know what you're doing the directions are no help at all!Oh and one thing is I ran it without the tube just to see what would happen and it made my room insanely hot! The tube is definitely needed! And honestly I wish they put it on all dehumidifiers because the one that is in the living room does not have a tube and it makes the house hotter as it removes the moisture.There's three settings fan, Dehumidifier, and AC.

My whole house A/C went out and it’s warm here. I just got the Coolbus yesterday 6/4/24 and got it hooked up in my upstairs. It was really warm up there as you can imagine. I hooked up the hose and placed it in a I gallon container at about 10:00 p.m. I checked it at about 4:00 a.m. and it had removed 1 gallon of water. The container was very full. My first suggestion is give it plenty of room to remove the humidity (I had no idea how much it would remove). It did its job and had cooled the upstairs to a comfortable temperature I had it set on 69 initially. I set it on 70 because I would be at work all day and went into overkill on the container. I did not know how much more humidity it would draw out so the hose was placed in a 27 gallon tote. I arrived back home 3:10 p.m. and that tote was dry as a bone. I will check it daily and empty as necessary. It has been a game changer for my upstairs. My house is approximately 1600 sq ft. I have another portable downstairs that I bought last year, but this one really does a great job cooling. If you are hesitating on buying a portable A/C don’t they are really easy to hook up and easy to move from room to room. I’m 65 and an average sized woman.I haven’t found any leaks and for that I’m grateful. I believe I found a quality product at a good price and would definitely purchase again from this seller. I won’t know how efficient it is until I get my electric bill :). Hopefully efficiency will be one I’ll add later, just too soon to tell at this point.Good luck and stay cool, give these a try you’ll be surprised how well they cool.

I have only had the cool bus portable Air conditioner for a day , but I got a wonderful night's sleep last night using it in my bedroom . We live in a town house & the upstairs gets hotter during the day . We used to have to blast the AC ( which was one zone ) to get it cool enough upstairs . Last night with our cool bus AC unit we slept comfortably while keeping our whole house AC turned to a higher temp . We feel in the long run this will help save on our electric bill because we are no longer having it freezing downstairs to stay cool enough upstairs .I will start with delivery and packaging which was great . Our unit arrived in perfect condition .Set up ...was fairly easy . Be sure to have the vent hose fully uncrimped on the ends . This allows attachment for the unit and opposite end for the window attachment to go on easily . Basically it's pretty much ready except for the slide in window adjustment piece . My husband set it up but I could have done it &all you need is a screwdriver . We did set up a bucket for drainage , but after a whole night there wasn't any water . Be sure to set the unit upright in the box for 24 hours before attempting set up . The instructions say to do that .The unit is very sturdy and attachment pieces are as well . It has wheels to make it easy to move .Temperature control seems reliable and easy .I used the remote and it worked well . This unit has several options not only for AC but can just be used as a fan or dehumidifier. It cools very quickly & the air it blows is very cool & as if you were using a regular window unit .We had never used a portable AC before but for the price this seems like it was a good purchase for us .* Using it in the bedroom the display is bright but I just put a piece of paper on top to dim the light .Overall it is a perfect solution for us to keep our 12 x 15 bedroom comfortable.The dislplay is easy to read . As with any AC unit it does make noise going on & off but it's not disturbing .
