We are enjoying the cool air and quiet operation of the Gasbye 10000 AC unit during these summer months to keep our living room comfortable. So far the unit is working as designed. The unit was relatively easy to install and we appreciated clear instructions as well as the included water drain hose. Also found the included air venting hose connections well thought out. The two hose system seems to be way better than our window AC unit in our bedroom and way less noisy. We also emailed and took advantage of Gasbye free extended 3 year warranty offer - little piece of mind. (3 years total form day of purchase) I also purchase an air vent insulating hose cover for the units heat exhaust hose to keep it from transferring heat back into the room. The exhaust hose can get warm when unit is under a continuous cool down load. Suggestions I mentioned in my email to the company for future units is to back light the entire control panel so the text and symbols are readable in the evening when room is darker. The “power on” button should remain lit continuously. The remote works alright and does have a lighted LED screen but could have a stronger signal. We have notice you mostly need to be standing in front of the unit for the remote signal to be received by the unit. It gets a bit sketchy if you are standing or sitting off to one side, although we have found a way to bounce the remote signal off the walls of the living room back to the unit which does work most of the time. Of course that would depend on your room configuration. We corresponded these suggestions to Gasbye and they were very receptive. Emailed me back and said they had been considering these improvements already. Seems like a very competent company to deal with, very refreshing. If you want cool, quiet AC then this is an excellent unit better than the name brands in my opinion.

TLDR: This is an excellent, quiet portable air conditioner with lots of flexibility for different use cases. The remote is confusing and persnickety and you'll want to throw it in the trash--still 5 stars in my book. I bought this to replace an aging Danby portable air conditioner (from about 2012) with fewer BTUs and a single-hose design. Although it cooled my 600 sq ft bedroom adequately, the random compressor jolts could wake the dead (let alone the bedroom's sleeping occupants). Some research turned me on to two new developments in portable AC technology. First: dual hoses. One hose is an intake, bringing fresh air from outside, and the other exhausts warm air from the space you're trying to cool. The main advantage is that by having a separate intake, you eliminate a "negative pressure" environment. (With a single hose exhausting warm air, it creates a pressure imbalance between inside and outside, such that the warm air outside finds ways to seep in to your room.) This keeps your AC more efficient even as it works less to cool. The downside is that the exhause hose can get pretty hot--but there is a way around that you can in my pictures. You can now buy a pair of wrap-around sleeves for your hoses, for about $20, that insulate them quite well. A temp gun showed that the temperature delta between a wrapped and unwrapped hose is about twenty degrees. They can be a bear to get on, but the velcro straps are quite strong and they stay on well. If you only have the budget and patience to wrap one hose, do the exhaust. The other new technology I discovered is an inverter compressor. In my old Danby unit, the compressor was either on or off. It would be like if the accelerator in your car could only go to 60mph, and then back to 0pmh when you pushed the brake. This not only uses a lot of energy, it's also very loud and jarring when it suddenly kicks on. Since many people are using these to stay comfortable while sleeping through a hot summer, this is far from ideal. With this Gasbye unit, you can set it to run this way with "Turbo" mode. The remote has a button for this, or you can hold down the "Fan Speed" button for 3 seconds on the unit. "Turbo" mode also maxes the fan speed. But even in "Turbo" mode, the Gasbye is noticeably quieter than my Danby unit. In fact, it's not much louder than my white noise machine, and not very unpleasant at all. There is also a standard "Cool" mode, which allows you to set one of three fan speeds, or you can set the fan speed to "Auto." There is also a dedicated "Inverter" mode that you can set by holding down the "Mode" button for 3 seconds. This allows the compressor to ramp down to save energy and reduce noise. For any of these modes, you can still set a goal temperature--the unit just gets there more or less aggressively depending on the mode you select. The manual recommends setting the unit to "Turbo" two hours before bedtime and then changing it to "Inverter" when you go to bed to maintain the temperature. My bedroom is about 600 sq ft, and I can tell you that this unit only needs about 20 minutes to get it down to about 70 degrees. Switching to inverter mode has kept the temperature there overnight without freezing me out. (That happened the first night when I left it on Turbo.) Although it's not even June, I got to test this recently when my heat pump went out, and the temperature in my bedroom got up near 80 by the end of the day. I will be eager to see how it does in July in August, when it really heats up in central Kentucky. It also gets very humid, and this may affect the performance. It has been raining and quite humid already in the past week, but I have not had to drain it. The manual says the unit has a vaporization system that generally precludes the need to drain, although some reviewers have found otherwise. I will update this review if anything changes this summer. By the way, it also has a dehumidifier mode. The compressor still runs in this mode and blows out cool air, because that's just how a dehumidifier works. (That's a vast oversimplification; check out the "Technology Connections" YouTube channel for a much better explanation.) The unit is quite big, as you might expect for something that requires a lot of big, heavy components. It fits well by my bedroom window, but the install was a little challenging. I had to cut the panel with the openings for the hoses to fit my window properly, and then join it with screws to the smaller of the extenders. (The unit comes with the main panel and two extenders of different sizes.) It was hard to get the screw in the bottom of the two panels. Because of my window design, I had to get the panels where I needed them first, and then awkwardly come at it from the back and top while lining up the correct screw holes in the panels without being able to see them. Once I finally did that, the rest wasn't too bad. It comes with two different types of foam. There is an adhesive strip you can put on the top of your panel (or the bottom of the window that closes on top of it) and on the bottom of your panel or your window sill. There is another piece of non-adhesive foam you can stuff into the gap between your bottom and top window panes. It was a little small for my application, so I reused the thicker foam I used with my old portable AC unit. All of this together seals the gaps relatively well, although there is a little bit of daylight between the top of the panel and the window. I have never found a way around this, at least not one I was willing to put the work in to try. Other reviewers have put together some excellent DIY solutions. Their pictures and explanations are more helpful than anything you'll find in the Gasbye manual or on YouTube. I also bought a silicone mat that fits perfectly underneath it. It is 20''X20''X0.6 and cost about $15. I bought this in case the unit leaked water from the drainage port, or in case it flowed out when I opened the drain plug. Neither of these things have happened, but it gives me some peace of mind. The hose sleeves are made for 5" or 5.9" hoses; these hoses are 5.9". Because I didn't extend them all the way, I had to do a lot of finagling to wrap them. In fact, I discovered that I had to attach the hoses, bend them into the shape I needed for my installation, then carefully remove them without changing their size and shape, then wrap the sleeves and fold back the excess material, then re-install the hoses. Finally, I put the three velcro straps on each one to keep them in place. I did a good job covering almost the entire exhause hose, which is the most important. I couldn't get quite as much of the intake covered. That was the first one I did, so that's probably why. But I was too lazy to start over, at least for now. By the way, the unit is pretty heavy, at around 40 lbs. It's manageable to move into position for most people--I had to get it up a flight of spiral stairs, which was difficult but doable. You are not going to want to move this around much once you install it, so figure out your positioning before you start. To sum up, I am very pleased with this Gasbye unit. It cools my bedroom down quickly and keeps it comfortable without making a lot of unpleasant noise. It is much more powerful and flexible than my old Danby unit. It's a little expensive at north of $500, but it's worth the price in my opinion. My only real gripe with it is the remote. The first red flag is this statement in the manual: "Contrary to a common misconception, the remote doesn't just transmit the last pressed button's information to the air conditioner. Instead, it communicates all the stored settings currently displayed on the screen." Even if you're paying attention, this is confusing--and when you actually try to use it, it's infuriating. And because the remote needs a pretty narrow line of sight to the unit, it's very easy to press a bunch of buttons, and then when you achieve the needed line of sight, I guess they all get sent at once to the unit, essentially creating mayhem. All I know is, button presses often don't achieve what I expect them to. And sometimes, even when just pressing one button while pointing the remote directly at the unit, it does something different than the button indicates. It's maddening enough that I have basically stopped using the remote. This is fine for me, because as mentioned, the buttons and the instructions for using them on the unit itself are very good. One exception: I cannot find a way to turn on "continuous fan" on the unit itself; this seems to only be possible with the remote. But I had to fight with the buttons to even get this to work, so I probably just won't be using that.

Powerful and Efficient – Exceeded Expectations! I’ve been using the Gatsby dual-hose portable AC for a few weeks now, and I’m seriously impressed. It cools my room (around 300 sq ft) in minutes, and the dual-hose setup really makes a difference — faster cooling and better airflow compared to single-hose units. The build quality feels solid, and setup was super easy. No tools, no hassle — just plug it in and attach the hoses to the window kit. I also love that it’s easy to move between rooms thanks to the wheels. Noise level is surprisingly low for how powerful it is. I can sleep and work without distractions. If you’re looking for a reliable and effective AC unit, this one’s a winner. Definitely worth the price!

Last summer I bought 2 for each of my kids rooms. The units worked as advertised, cooling their rooms quickly and quietly via the Turbo and Inverter functions. I love them so much, I just bought a third for our master bedroom! My wife and I couldn’t be happier! The build quality on these units is solid and the setup is quick and easy. But my favorite part of this brand has been the customer service. Amy’s response time is second to none. Backing a solid product with equally impressive customer service is how you gain and keep customer loyalty. Gasbye has earned my brand loyalty for life. Keep up the great work Gasbye. Keep showing other brands how it’s done!

Long Story Short: Probably the highest value portable A/C unit on Amazon, with a couple minor drawbacks. Technology Connections on YouTube hasn’t reviewed this unit yet (as of writing), but I think most "A/C Experts" would prefer this design over most other portable A/C units. Long Story Long: We used this unit heavily (day/night) throughout a hot & humid Midwest summer. The windows in the room we needed to cool are really odd sizes, so we couldn't find a good window unit to fit. We had to buy a portable unit, but we wanted to make sure it was a dual hose unit for maximum efficiency (ideally with an inverter mode) - this unit checked those boxes. Honestly I was skeptical upfront because I saw all the great reviews here, but I ran it through a couple review checkers and that raised a slight red flag. Nonetheless, I bought the unit and I would do so again - as the title would imply, it works really well but with some caveats. Overall it deserves a solid 5 star rating because it’s the best on Amazon, but not because it is perfect. Pros: 1) Great customer service. One of the hoses I received didn’t fully snap into the window bracket, so they mailed me a replacement right away at no charge. 2) Pumps out lots of ice cold air 3) It's hard to quantity this exactly, but it seems to run efficiently. Functionally, the dual hose system works well, there is no negative pressure in the room, and the Inverter mode seems to operate as advertised, so it would seem that this is much more efficient than other portable AC setups. Caveats (not really ‘Cons’): 1) Another review said that the evaporation pan never overfilled - same here, but Gasbye recommends that you manually drain the unit every 12 hours to avoid mold. So, you need to make sure a hose and catch bin are setup for condensate, and it fills up quick which means constant emptying. None of this is the fault of this unit, that’s just the nature of portable AC’s. The water has to go somewhere - either that, or have damp cold air. No joke, on particularly humid summer days, we were emptying a 1 gallon water jug 4-5x a day. You don’t want that water to just sit in the evaporation tray, it’ll just add moisture to the air you’re trying to cool. 2) VERY IMPORTANT: You have to make sure to insulate the pipes - they are made of a really thin uninsulated plastic material. Again, that’s not this unit’s fault, that’s standard for portable units. But adding insulated sleeves boosts efficiency by a TON. There are pipe insulation sleeves available for sale here on Amazon - like I've said, it makes a huge difference for any portable AC unit. 3) Make sure you email Gasbye to setup the 3 year warranty. Cons: 1) Confirming what others have said about the temperature control - it is wildly inaccurate. We had two digital thermometers in the room, and confirmed that when the unit is set to 72°, it actually stays around 68°. And when it’s set to 73°, it hovers around 74.5°. A mild annoyance for sure, but not a dealbreaker beacuse you 2) The remote doesn’t work very well. Looking at other reviews, this seems to be quite common. Oh well, not a big deal. If Gasbye fixed these two (relatively insignificant) Cons, it’d be a perfect portable A/C. Sidenote: We haven’t paid close attention to the volume level since we don’t really care too much about that, but it isn’t obnoxiously loud.
