This is a mighty little portable air con and for the price and size you can not go wrong. To add, Kogan also allows you to purchase a 5 year warranty also. So this just shows the quality of it is fantastic. However, the environment and set up is what matters most.
A small bedroom it works fine, adding as a second unit in a bigger room, also fine. But alone, the system will make very little difference. For the price I really recommend!

Easy to set up and works great in the hot summer days. Electrical tape was essential to get a seal when installing the exhaust pipe to the window, however it doesn't damage the rental property and you can easily pack it away when not using it. It very rarely needs to be emptied as it reuses the water for cooling. The heat setting seems to need more drainage so we haven't used that much. It's great at dehumidifying the air, and works on a reasonlly big area but keep all the blinds and windows shut and seal off any drafts for best results.

The unit seems to be very directional, works when you sit right infront of it. Very Noisey, and the "swing" feature is creaky. Not made particularly well. You wouldnt want to use it as a heater, its too noisey, Aircon....yea ok...if its really hot, it does help. Good de humidifier ( dry ) ooption.

Not the best...but kinda cheap.

February 11th 2018 Update: Ok I guess

Noisy operation, also "swing" ( up and down feature ) is creaky. Does do the job, if given enough time in small room. For its price, its a good reason to avoid 30 deg plus temperatures, and really good de humid feature.
Build quality isn't the greatest either.
I have the 1400 model..wouldn't want one any less powerful. Dont use for heating, hungry on power

I got this for my grandparents and I must say it is a very good unit. However, it's biggest let down is the way the air vent is made. It only has a air flow that goes up and down, instead of left and right (as in the swing function). Even though it is still okay, it does not allow for equal distribution of air flow around the room. This forces you to also have a fan running to make the air circulate a bit better in the room.

Despite this, it may work for some, depending how big the room is, and I think it works better in a smaller bedroom then a living area, despite what it advertises. The unit is definitely slim, and that makes it much more better to toher larger ones.

Bought in October so prepared for the summer. Set it up last night & this morning. Test ran it....low noise is a misrepresentation in the sale spiel. It is so loud there is no way you could sleep with it on. To be honest you can't even sit in the room and do anything with the amount of noise it is generating. Mine also has a bad fan rattle going on in the back. And this is all on the first time run. So much for having a comfortable nights sleep... thought perhaps I could run it for a couple of hours before bedtime and cool the room, turn it of and stick with the ceiling fan. Room was cool but as soon as the unit turned off, just warms up again. Not sure what I'm supposed to do with it now...

"Very happy with the Kogan unit" I don't understand why everyone else is whingeing, I have it set up in a small room yeah makes a bit of noise but I can quite easily watch a movie or listen to music. The only downside would be if something did happen to it, it has to be shipped back to the factory. not sure if it's worth getting extended warranty I did just in case and it was a good deal but yeah it would be annoying to put back in the box and all that jazz.

Great for bedroom, takes humidity away. Quite at night, easy to move around, easy to operate, remote great idea no need to get up to change mode. Can be used as fan only when you just need to move the air around. Easy to install as I am an older person.

Used it for the 1st time in 35 degree heat, very disappointed. The room temperature was 26 would prefer it to be much cooler. I found it to be way too noisy. Mainly bought for 40 degree heat, will be looking for another one now. This unit is not worth the money :(

As with a lot of Kogan products you get what you pay for. There are better air conditioners on the market at the same price. quite heavy to move and doesn't blow enough cool air unless you are right in front of it. I would not recommend this product to buy

Noisey and I need to be right in front of it to cool. My dehumidifier doesn’t work at all. No water comes out. My room remains a sauna.
Looking at getting a better one. Maybe my one is faulty.

The window installation products were terrible. I bought the kit with the tape and it didn’t stay on at all. Overall has been disappointing and frustrating.

Kogan's 12,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner so far seems good. I haven't been able to test it on a very hot day yet, but it set up fine in my rental with the included window kit. It's somewhat loud, but in a white noise kind of way which isn't too much of a bother.

It is a bit noisy when operating but does work quite well
We used it on a 46 degree day and while it struggled a little it made a worthwhile difference
The heat cycle also worked well in winter.
The exhaust hose is far too short which limits where you can position the unit
This unit has a definite price advantage over most other brands which compensated for its minor shortcomings .
Would definitely recommend.

We bought this unit as an alternative to having an expensive reverse cycle air conditioner installed. It was a great way to test the water, as it were. And it is extremely economical, reducing our electricity bill substantially. Its very portable, and just plug it in and off it goes. Also, because the unit is in the room, it is a bit loud, but nothing too dramatic.We use it in the lounge room, and living in Tasmania, it really cops a hiding, on heat cycle, during winter. And it has stood up to the long usage times. Fantastic I would think if you are a renter, as you can take the unit with you. Well worth buying.

A very good product. Goes exactly with the description given before buying. It is very easy to move. Cools the room very quickly. Sometimes it seems to make more noise when it is slow, however, it does not disturb while sleeping. It is overall a very good buy & it also looks nice!!
