Hisense AP55023HR1GD Smart 8,000 BTU Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioner with Heat Pump (Renewed)

OK - so I read other reviews and came into this purchase already critical of the product. But I wanted to give it a try since there arent many Dual Hose Portable air conditioners out there. This is what I wanted because I wanted to use it in my camper and the dual hose makes it much more efficient to cool down something that isnt very air tight (look this up if you dont know the benefit of dual hose). Thinking this thing would not work, or immediately throw error codes, I decided to try it out in my ~1200 sq ft living room before throwing out the packaging or brigning it on a camping trip. And it did the job, it wasn't as good as central AC but it kept the room comfortable in July/August heat (~90F). It worked so well it never made it into my travel trailer, and spent the entire summer cooling my living room. Now - fall and winter have arrive and I know a heat pump uses less energy than burning my furnace, so why not give it a go. THIS THING HEATS! I cant believe how well it heats my first floor, now when its 15F outside you have to lower your expectations, but in the mid 30s and 40s it heats the whole room. I am sold that this is now a part of my living room. Some little things to consider: When in AC mode it drips the condensate on the lower heat exchanger, so it evaporates and is blown outside (another dual hose benefit) so I never had to drain it. But in heat mode the exchangers are in reverse, so the condensate drips into the pan and it throws E5 errors after about 30-60 minutes. Just drain the pan with the lower drain plug (but that becomes a pain), so position this somewhere you can run a drain hose. The drain can be finicky so sometimes it needs a little help getting the water moving out the hose - I put a small piece of wood under the front wheels to tilt it back to help with this and it will run all day. Summary: Dont expect this to cool/heat your large home - but it does a fine job either in smaller spaces or supplimenting something else (in my case a wood stove in the winter, or a window AC somewhere in the opposite side of the house). Dual Hose is the biggest upside to this unit, it is insanely more efficient than a single hose unit. Take the risk - I cant speak for all of them - but at this price its a very affordable entry into a combo AC/Heat Pump unit.

This 8000 btu unit cools like my other portable 12000 btu unit. It seems more efficient and quieter. Has auto-open and close lid. The accessories included are of excellent quality. It's easy to hook up and takes less space at the window's end since the round pipes are channeled into slightly rectangular circles. The unit can be controlled via. wifi. Overall, for $200, it's an excellent deal. Let's see how well it will hold up over time. For those who think that the unit must drain out through a pipe. I would say it's optional for high-humidity environments. Just keep the drain ports closed off so that water is recycled through the air flowing out of the duct. Update June 2025 - Over the last two years, the unit has performed excellently. It still cools like a champ. My daughter also used it for heating, and the heat pump works great as well. Heat pump is supposed to save $$ over the resistive heaters.

First the good - for a refurbished unit, I was pretty pleased with the quality. Very minor cosmetic issues on one of the plastic pieces that you place in the window that the hoses connect to. Otherwise, it was as close to new as you can get. It's also pretty easy to install. Took me maybe 10 minutes. Plugged it in and it ran just fine. Air was blowing out at around 53°F. The bad - the claim of being able to cool a 550 sq ft room is either a typo or a lie. After running the unit for several hours and the temperature in the room falling only several degrees, I did a little research into the BTU SACC rating of this unit. Costco has a very similar Hisense 8000 BTU unit, and the coverage area states it's good for 350 sq ft. There is absolutely no way this thing can cool a 550 sq ft room. It just can't keep up. You'd need, mathematically, at least an 11000-12000 BTU SACC rating. I should have done more homework before purchasing. But if you're reading this, at least now you won't have to repeat my mistake. Overstating the coverage area by roughly 37% is inexcusable. Now I have to Tetris this thing back into the packaging and lug it down to whole foods to return it. Just an absolute pain in the neck. Or I guess more of a pain in the back, because this thing isn't exactly light. Update: Well I've had it for one full day, and the unit simply displays 81. I believe this is an error code for a faulty indoor temp sensor. What a piece of garbage this unit has turned out to be.

No funcionó el producto pero el vendedor me resolvió las dudas y me reembolso mi dinero sin problema.

Sobre la estética y piezas: La caja llegó con evidente estado de deterioro, apenas y "agarrada" por cintas de platico que se ven en la foto, el equipo se ve amarillento en varias zonas del plástico como si hubiera estado años guardado, en general no parece haber sido usado, pero quizá se abrió y cerró muchas veces porque las cintas estaban rotas, no tenía manual y al encontrar el manual en internet noté que faltan piezas como la manguera para el agua condensada, varias piezas para la salida de la ventana, aunque las piezas faltantes no fueron complicaciones para mí, sí lo habrían sido para alguien mas y en general no es bueno. Sobre el desempeño: Cada una de las funciones se desempeñan correctamente, tiene wifi y se conecta a su app ConnectLife bien en la cual es posible controlarlo y hacer rutinas, no lo he conectado con un asistente de voz como Alexa. En el modo frío, el tubo de salida se calienta mucho, lo cual hace que al apagarlo ese calor residual vuelva a calentar la habitación, se recomienda ampliamente aislar el tubo con una cinta aislante térmica (no adhesiva), o algún otro tipo de aislante térmico. Sobre el gasto de luz: Aún no recibo la factura, en cuanto la tenga actualizo esta opinión.
