"A genuinely cheap AC for a small room, provided you accept its optimistic claims and inherent inefficiency."
The 8,400 BTU (ASHRAE) is a lab value, while the 5,100 BTU (DOE) rating is what you'll actually feel after the unit's own waste heat is accounted for. It's enough for a small bedroom, not a living room.
This is a solution for renters who are forbidden from using window units and need temporary cooling for a small (under 250 sq. ft.) room. Its value is entirely in its low upfront cost for seasonal, light-duty use.
Anyone needing to cool a medium-to-large room, a space with high ceilings, or a room with direct sun exposure should skip this. Users sensitive to noise will find its performance on max settings disruptive.
