5.0 out of 5 stars Very cool ;)
I think some reviewers here are confused about this portable air con, it should not be brought for a dehumidifier (there are much cheaper and better options) and its not a fan to blow cold air on you.This will cool your entire room provided you put the tube out of the window and close the windows and doors.I love the features and the automatically opening panel, the quiet setting will not have much impact unless you turn the temp to a reasonable setting and I don't think that's what most will buy this unit for.It's much quieter than others I have used even though it's still quite noisy as you might expect from what is basically a fridge with an industrial fan slapped on it. Notably the loud starting noise of many air cons is diminished, but you will still notice it activating more of a build up rather than a sudden loud noise.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good and pretty quiet, but not perfect
Upon receiving the Bosch Cool 5000, unpacking and setting the AC up was very easy. It was very well packaged, but nonetheless very easy to unpack as the top section of the box lifted right up, revealing the AC unit. It is quite heavy though, so don't expect to carry it up and downstairs frequently.Use of the unit was very easy and intuitive - both the buttons on the unit itself and on the remote are self explanatory and simple. When using the AC it also doesn't require excess water to be drained as it self-evaporates it through the exhaust. It only has to be drained when it is used in the dehumidifier mode. Very nice indeed!The Bosch Cool 5000's performance was very good as well - it effectively cooled down the bedroom with ease, and quickly. I also noticed that the amount of hot air being blown out of the exhaust hose is considerably less than my old AC unit, which also helps creating less of a vacuum in the room causing less hot air being drawn inside the room from outside.It also is much quieter than a non-inverter AC - instead of hearing a loud "clack" when the AC turns on followed by the compressor hum, it does it in a much quieter way with a relatively quiet whirring sound of an electromotor to kickstart the AC system into action. Once started, you can barely hear any noise caused by the AC system itself and you can basically only hear the fans blowing refreshing, cool air. Especially when set to the "silent" mode, the fans blow at their minimum speed and it is indeed very, very quiet.There is unfortunately only one drawback, which is that the inverter produces a high-pitched coil whine noise. It isn't loud, but it can be heard if you have sensitive hearing. I suspect that older people will not be able to hear it, but I unfortunately can. It may be that the unit I received had more of it than usual, but the manual also says that a high-pitched sound may occur in this model. I did get more used to the high-pitched sound it emitted, but it still annoyed me and as I purchased the Bosch Cool 5000 with the primary goal to have a quiet AC for the bedroom so I can sleep while it cools the room, this was a dealbreaker for me and I had to return it.All in all the Bosch Cool 5000 is a great AC unit which is much quieter than any non-inverter AC unit. It would work brilliantly in any other situation, but unfortunately not in my quiet bedroom. If Bosch can fix the high-pitched sound, it would absolutely get my full 5-star review, but until then it only gets 4 stars.
5.0 out of 5 stars Actually “Quiet at last”!
TL;DR it’s great.- Great design- Quiet (as long as you’re aware it will have a compressor hum like a slightly louder dehumidifier)- Compact (upward hose)If you’re in the market for a portable A/C and can’t get it fitted (which is best… trust me) THIS is the one you want.No other portable A/C in the UK is inverter based (which means it only works as hard as it needs to).Cooled my 5m x 3m living area within an hour with the door open for the cool air to spread.All portable A/Cs have a noise but this is by far the best, you can actually watch TV without turning it up. No other on the market will be this quiet. I’ve had 4 others now.Only thing we need now is an inverter one with a dual hose for higher efficiency! Well done Bosch for finally bringing us into the 21st century.
1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed by Bosch for the first time ever!!
I have had to return this because there is no support available for this product. None of the Bosch helplines can provide assistance or guidance on the product and no possibility to even register the product. I purchased this knowing that hoping there would be more info when it arrived but there wasn't! It's like no one in the UK at Bosch knows that they even manufacture these. It's a real shame as the specs look good but I don't want to be lumbered with a product that cannot be maintained in 6 months time because there is no support for it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very efficient and quiet
A quality air conditioner which is expensive but worth the cost. It is quiet throughout and soon cools down our bedroom.
5.0 out of 5 stars Cools large room fast
This works great, dead easy to get it going well worth the money
2.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best of this type of air conditioner
The 5000 model has got to be the best of these single unit air conditioners. The inverter technology, adjusting the compressor frequency, helps efficiency and keeps the noise down; very much like my air source heat pump's outdoor unit.On a low or night setting the noise is tolerable for being in the same room for daytime use but does interupt sleep at night, due to the changes in tone as it self defrosts etc.The biggest issue I have is with the concept and this is not specific to this model. All of these pump large volumes of (warm) air out of the house, through the flexible exhaust pipe, to cool the heat exchanger. The 'flaw' is that this air has to be replaced and it's replaced by outside air being drawn into the house in other rooms. It may cool one room very well but at the expense of causing other rooms to heat to outside air temperature.Another issue is the non-existant manufacturer support in the UK. I contacted Bosch Home and they confirmed they do not support this; leaving the distributer (Pattern) as the people to deal with after Bolo will no longer assist.
