[TL;DR available below]
Okay, so I purchased this unit about a month ago, and wanted to give it a proper run before submitting my review. This purchase was made to replace a similar style of A/C unit, as my windows cannot support an in-window unit. I selected this one based on style, price, and reviews at time of purchase.
First, it works. I use it to cool my bedroom exclusively (third floor attic-style apartment), and it does keep the room cool. I appreciate that it will trigger the A/C when the ambient temperature exceeds the set temp, BUT I am not confident of how accurate the temp sensor is. I have, with some regularity, found the room stuffy with the A/C not blowing, switch to Fan mode, and the displayed ambient temp display jumps 3-4 degrees.
The window adapter is not very kind to shorter windows. It does come with an insert to close any gaps, but it does not handle any gaps less than ~7 inches. I have to tape a piece of cardboard to prevent outside air from entering the room.
The LEDs on the unit are some of the BRIGHTEST I have encountered in consumer goods, and had to buy light dampening stickers to use it in my bedroom.
This next bit is less of a ding on the product, but more on the shipping. It was shipped to me upside down. The exterior box had its “this way up” arrows indicating appropriately, but the actual product box was loaded upside down. It says in the instructions that it must be upright for a minimum of 4 hours before use. This was an inconvenience to me, as I worked the day it arrived until 11 PM, got home during 85-95 degree heat, and couldn’t use it until 3 or 4 AM.
I also wish the remote had some sort of backlight setting, as it’s like trying to play an original Gameboy at night; very difficult to interpret.
Overall, I would give this a 3.5 out of 5, but Amazon reviews stick to solid numbers.
[TL;DR – Good for its price, easy to use and understand. Temp management not great, unit LEDs too bright, window vent has room to improve. You get what you pay for, and paying +$50 extra may alleviate some of the issues/concerns I had.]

We’ve only been using the air conditioner for a few days. The first day and a half it was great but then it starting filling up twice a day, needing dumped. Most of the time it warned us but others it didn’t and started leaking on the floor (even with the constant drip set up). Set up was a bit tricky but eventually got it done. It’s easy to use.

Unlike many, I actually bought this with zero incentive other than I needed one.
So far, it works!

This does a great job cooling off my bedroom. That said, the LEDs are insanely bright, and the remote is poorly built, needing to provide the action multiple times for it to take effect.
It’s noisy (hotel room AC levels)

We have purchased two, one for each of our sons rooms to be able to let them keep their rooms as cold as they like in the hot Florida summer without our energy bill sky rocketing. The rooms are freezing when I walk in in the morning!

The media could not be loaded.
No issues. Easy to assemble the ventilation. Cools off the whole house in short order. 1000sq ft.

At first I didn’t notice that instead of the controls being on top they were on front, but most of these units are the same inside anyway. This one is rated 8000btu/hr and was in the box for the
ZAFRO 8,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioners I ordered.
After running it overnight and using a 7 gallon bucket for the hose and almost running it over I decided to run the hose outside. To do this I set it atop a crate with a tray just in case it leaked, allowing the water drain to run downhill and not collect in the hose. The exhaust tube is also slightly downhill because I was afraid rain might blown into it and drain inside the unit itself.
As far as installation it was straight forward, the manual was clearly written, and mostly obvious what was needed to mount and assemble. The description of the water tank inside was a bit vague where the two drains are considered since the only reason for the lower drain would be if you did not use the upper drain and hose, making it necessary to lift it up and drain collected water after the auto shutoff occurs due to a full tank (light indicates full, too).
The operation also was clear with a few exceptions: Sleep Mode use, Timer use, and how it operates to maintain the temperature. Sleep mode is not explained and works simply to turn the fan down to low and slowly raise the selected temperature 2° after a few hours. Timer use requires the unit to be off to set the number of hours before it automatically turns on; and while running the timer can be set to turn off in like fashion. However, the times I have tried auto start the unit has not turned on, but it is not something I really need. The operation is such that if you set the temperature to 70° the unit will run until it reaches below that and turn off with the lights still operating on the display. You may also hear the compressor cycle off every 30 minutes which allows any ice accumulation to be cleared in the evaporator, then cycle back on with the fan still running. When the unit is not running and the temperature rises 2° the unit will automatically turn itself back on and repeat cooling until it reaches just below the selected temperature again.
The biggest negatives: Selection Chimes and Bright Lights. I found the selection chime that occur with ever button press to be annoying, but there is nothing that can be done short of disassembly to find the source and mute it, not something anyone would really do. So it is loud and unnecessary. The bright lights on the display cannot be dimmed either, and contrary to some indication that sleep mode dims the lights, it does not on this one. The remedy was strips of green tape over the lights, which are still visible easily, and show the functions of the unit.
The remote is easy to use and displays the selected temperature. It has Timer, Sleep, Fan low/high, Cool, Dehumidify, Fan Only, and On/Off buttons. There is no backlighting, which would have been nice at night. You can select low or high fan, but we typically use the unit in our bedroom on low all night long and keep the central air at a higher setting rather than cool the entire downstairs to our desired sleep setting. It is really nice and cool. If you can’t get used to or the noise bothers you too much you can use the memory foam ear plugs like I use to quiet it down. I used the ear plugs anyway for snoring coming from my wife and dog at times. The unit should run far cheaper than the cost of central air (still waiting for billing comparisons) and as stated the bedroom is very cool and comfortable now.
One note concerns the initial operation that says to wait 4 hours (in one place) before operating it to allow the oil to drain into position in the compressor and tubing. Another place it says 24 hours. The box shows the carrier with arrows how it should be handled for delivery, but do carriers actually keep the box upright? I waited over eight hours for full operation, briefly checking that it worked on arrival and installation. The air is cold and the unit has worked as advertised for us. So far, very happy even though this one was sent and does say Zafro on the label but is identical to this unit!
