About this item

  • 【Fasting Cooling】- ZAFRO 8,000 BTU portable air conditioner is suitable for rooms up to 350 square feet. And when the weather gets hot, our air conditioner could drop the indoor temperature to 61℉.
  • 【Energy-saving】- Compared to the CEER of other portable ac in the market, ZAFRO is 6.3, so ZAFRO could spend the least amount of money for the same cooling capacity. It’s an ideal choice for many families.
  • 【4 Modes & Low Noise】- Our air conditioner combines 4 modes - Cool/Dehumidifier/Fan/Sleep and equipped with 2024 generation of high-efficiency compressor, which achieves low noise(≤45dB) level to ensure no interference in night.
  • 【Easy to Install & Operate】- Just roll this portable air conditioners with wheels into any room with a hung window or sliding window, attach the included hose & window adapter, plug it into an outlet. And offer 2 LED digital display/compact remote to operate easily. Size: 12.40(D)*12.20(W)*27.56(H) inches.
  • 【Washable Air Filter】- The room air conditioner has a removable and washable double-layer filter to protect your family from dust danger and so on. (We highly recommend you clean the air filter every two week of operation to get the better performance).
  • 【Customer Service】- ZAFRO is committed to provide customer with premium products and thoughtful service, so please ask for us help immediately if you have any questions about our products, we will do our best to help you resolve the issues in 6hrs.
  • 【Attention】- 1. Does the portable ac need to be connected to the exhaust hose? Yes, connecting the exhaust hose can discharge the heat of the ac to the outside during use, and which can improve the cooling effect. 2. Does the ac need to be connected to the drain hose? Although ZAFRO ac is designed with the self-evaporative system, but it's recommended to connect the drain hose when frequently used in summer to prevent water leakage after excessive water collection.

"...to install, and has a relatively small footprint, so the size is great. It simply isn't powerful enough to cool this space...." Read more

Doesn't Look Like the Picture, but Good
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 theZAFRO 8,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioners I ordered.After running it overnight and using a 7 quart 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 the R.W.FLAME 8,000 BTU Air Conditioner sold on Amazon.

    I didn't want an AC unit hanging out of the window so I tried this free standing 8,000 btu unit. It's very easy to set-up, just follow the pictures in the manual. When I first set up the unit and turned it on I had it draining into a gallon jug sitting inside of a small bucket sitting behind a recliner. The jug fills up every 3 hours so that's 8 gallons in a 24 hour period. After a couple of days I switched the drain hose from the gallon jug to the window sill by loosening the wing nut on the window panel and sliding it together half an inch to allow the drainage hose to fit through. I layed it down along the window sill so it would drain through the holes on each side of the sill. I didn't cut of the hose, just in case I want to put it back the way I had it before, no burning bridges. It wouldn't drain through the sill for me because the unit was too low. I got a foot stool that's 8 inches high and sat the AC unit on the stool. Be careful how you sit it on the stool because the unit has rollers on the bottom. When I turned the unit back on the water built up in the hose and started to drain out of the window. Where the drainage hose connects to the back of the AC unit must be at the same height as the bottom of the sill for it to drain properly, there doesn't seem to be a pump that moves the drainage water, it seems to be gravity feed. Just make sure the base you use to sit the unit on is sturdy, whether it's an 8 -12" high foot stool, cinder block or milk container. The 8,000 btu unit I purchased works great it keeps the living room and adjoining kitchen cool and seeps into the three adjoining bedrooms a little. I'm very happy with the AC unit, it keeps us comfortable in all these 90° days. I like the remote control that comes with it. I originally had it set to 72° for the first day on high fan speed then changed it to 76° and low fan speed on the second day and the unit started turning it's self off as the desired temp was reached. If the high fan speed is too loud for you at night switch it to sleep mode or just switch it to low fan speed. Very good AC unit for the price, would recommend.

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 the R.W.FLAME 8,000 BTU Air Conditioner sold on Amazon.

    We were really impressed by this in home air conditioner. It not only was a good price but also functioned really well.
    We places it in our work loft and it helped the room cool down. Please be aware that depending how hot of a place it can only cool down so much but does an amazing job.

    First of all it only burns 7 amps. It's one of the lowest amp burners that we found for this size. Second it says 350 ft², that is 100% not true we have it in a 400 ft square room and it keeps it ice. The remote is very easy to use. The unit is easy to drain with the drain tube that they enclosed. I just wish the remote illuminated but but really the only gripe I have on this unit is the noise It's about 58 to 60 decibels going full blast. So naturally you got to turn stuff up If you're listening to TV. After our main AC failed while we were waiting to get it fixed we bought a few of these these things are awesome they work great I can't stress it enough. Packing could not be beat!! They took a lot of pride of packing this in the box unlike a lot of other brands. I just wish we could buy the bigger unit as a backup for the living room but it burns 10.8 amps the 14,000 BTU. Other than the noise I'm extremely impressed with this little thing.
