Ordered the SPT 8000 BTU Portable AC (with Single Hose) on 8/10/12 and with Prime got it next day Saturday delivery just in time for one of our hotter CA weekends so far this summer and glad we did.
Set up was easy and was up and running in half an hour enjoying the fast cooling from this no nonsense portable. Installation instructions were clear, controls on the unit and the remote easy for us to understand. The one thing I wish they had on this is a "follow me" feature on the remote that sounds useful, but even without that extra we are very much enjoying our cool new machine (pun intended) and am seriously considering another one over a econo-window unit.
The fan is loud on high (so you do have to leave the general vicinity to take a phone call or turn up the volume on the TV but I couldn't imagine any others not having the same affect) and just this side noticeable on low (very tolerable IMO), there is no in-between setting. Seems solidly built and practical for what you get and ion high this unit cooled a home office and bedroom (connected by a hallway) very well. The venting was straight forward, not sure about the draining yet for the condensation/water pan but it is fairly easy to access.
Staying cool without too much fuss so this is highly recommended!
