Best video that explains all the settings. Thank you Handyman Land!
Thank you for watching.
@HandymanLand How long do you leave the dehumidifier on for? Also, it started at a 90 then gradually went down over time, does that mean it's registering the temprature in the room as it sucks out the moisture? Thanks for the video, it was really helpful!

We just got one for our apartment thanks to ya, appreciate the video
Thanks for watching 👍
We cut our window adapter down to fit our window. We use ours in an RV. Love it.
Yes, I was going to cut my window adapter down as well. But then I said, "If I ever want to relocate this elswear." I might not be able to use the window adapter. I love this unit as well. It made a huge difference in my workshop. Tap on that 🔔 icon. I have many more videos coming soon. Thanks for watching 🙂👍
Great video, my friend. You really help me. This told me I don’t have to use this hose unit or anything if I’m using air-conditioning mode and it’ll tell me if the water tank is full.
I'm glad you enjoyed my video.Thank you for watching.
Thank you for the video. Does it mean that I don't need to connect the hose if I am using only the cooling feature?
@ebubechukwudike7043 The rubber hose is only for the dehumidifier feature. Thank you for watching.
Hey, thanks. Should I buy a counter-clock or clock exhaust duct?
Sorry for the late response, Mine's counterclockwise. It's the opposite of writing tidy, lefty lucy. Hope I answered your question. Thanks for watching.
I will be using my uniform she shed so I would need to use both the air conditioning and heating features. Please review or tell me how the heat feature works. That’s a really warm in the cold temperatures?
Hi, This particular unit only is AC , fan, and a Dehemidifier. It doesn't have a heating feature. Not sure how big your she shed is? But I am currently heating one of my 200 square feet workshops with a Lasko CT16670 digital heater. Runs about $45 or $65.
And it's working great. I was planning on doing a review video on it as well. Hope this information helps you. Thank you for watching. 👍
I loved your clear video ( and the chickens!) I inherited this unit when I bought my house. It worked for a while but is now flashing E5 and I can't figure out what this means. Help?
E5 is the error code that the unit needs to be drained. There is too much water in the unit. In my unit, I point out where you can drain the unit. Once you drain the unit, it should go back to its normal working order. Hope I was able to help and thank you for watching.
I have the same a.c. unit, but I can't get the hose vent to lock in place with the panel. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for video!!
I have the 12k one, its great although please tell me how to set it quieter as evennonnlow mode thrs hardly any difference innthe loudness of the noise!.. how do i make it as quiet as possible while still throwing out alittle hot air and replacing with cold air while i sleep?
Good review. I have one arriving today
Thank you for watching. 👍
Good video. I was wondering if you've had to deal with any issues yet? I have one that works but I'm not getting any cool air out.Can you replace the coolant? Any ideas would be appreciated.
As of now , I haven't had any issues. I've haven't plugged it in this year, but that's my goal next week. With the proper gages and hoses.Yes you can replace the coolant. But you will have to check the pressure first in the unit. Before doing anything else, if it doesn't hold pressure, then you have a bad o-ring of some sort. But if the unit isn't that old, then you shouldn't need to put coolant. Might be another issue. I had a unit that was over 15 years old and was still doing its job. Never needed any maintenance. Other than keeping the screen clean. I gave it up because it wasn't energy efficient. Thanks for watching.
@@HandymanLand Thx for your quick response. That is what's getting me,the unit is perfectly fine.No issues and relatively new. It's the serenelife model SLACHT128 and their website doesn't do much to help with troubleshooting. I may take the unit apart and check the o-rings and see.Thx for your advice. I'll respond ifI figure it out.
Just ordered through your link. GREAT video!
Thank you, and thanks for watching 😁👍
Hello, thank you for the video, I still don’t know if I’m using the dehumidifier right. Do I just turn it on and let it do it’s thing or should I adjust it to a specific temperature. I’m trying to fight off mildew from poor ventilation.
Yes, just let it do its thing. Press the mode button. Until the "green LED" is on dry. It should automatically read the humidity in the room. As the unit does it's thing you should see that number dropping. Bringing the humidity level down in the room. Thank you for watching.🙂👍
Are you suppose to have it plugged in for 24 hours before actual usage?
Good question, I did not see that in the manual. I will have to go back and check the manual on that. But I don't see why It would need to be plugged in for 24 hours. It is a portable unit. And it's been working amazing. All I do is plug in and start. Within less than fifteen minutes, you can already feel the difference in the room.
@HandymanLand The manual is just non stop promotion and completely ignores everything else
Thank you so much!! Very helpful!
@@lindacamino77 Thank you for watching.
great video ,, just got this unit today works great
@OttoPilot190 Thanks for watching.
What do you think about the conditioner after a period of use؟
@iliespalace Funny thing is as I was walking over to turn it on. I read your comment. My unit has been working great. I have not had any issues with it as of today. Thanks for watching.
@@HandymanLand 😉Thanks brother for the reply and for the video you gave us great information
@@iliespalace it works fine I use it in my bedroom it will cool it down in a couple of hours
How often do you have to refill the refrigerant?
Never. I have another unit that's 16 years old. And still does the job. The difference between that unit and this unit is, this unit is energy efficient. Hope I answer your question. Thanks for watching.
Should the exhaust pipe be connected while using the dry mode? I have a small basement window that us not compatible to the mount. Please advise. Thanks
@flyintl007 If you're only using the dehumidifier mode. There is no need for exhaust pipe. The exhaust pipe is only for AC. If you have a drain in the basement, then you can use the rubber holes they provide. This way, you can run the dehumidifier and not need to empty the unit when full. Thanks for watching.
@@HandymanLand Thanks, but I also noticed on dry mode that warm air was going out in the exhaust end. Is that normal?
Hey you did an excellent job in this video thank you very much. You provided a very detailed video
I'm glad you enjoyed the video.Thanks for watching.

I just bought one..how does the heater part work??? Do you need to remove the hose?? thanks
This unit does not have a heater. It has a dehemidifier. It will store water until a certain point. Once it's full, an error code will appear. If you want to let it run all night, then you use the hose to drain in the nearest drain. Hope I answered your question. Thanks for watching.
Thank you.The one I bought today is a SereneLife 108, After I watched your video the other day I decided to buy it,,, Thank you !@@HandymanLand
@@toeholtI have the same one and I’m having trouble getting the heater to work. Have you figured it out?
Excellent review. Do you have a review after using it?
Not yet. I was thinking of doing that for this summer. But as of right now, I have no components. It's been working great. Thank you for watching 👍
Just to add to what he said, this ac gotta be elevated a little bit so you can collect the water cause even in cool mode, it dehumidifies (was looking for a way to clean the filter, the instructions book is not accurate)
Who needs vague instructions when you got handyman land!😂
@taylorfrost6514 😁👍Thanks for watching.
Very good review sir.
@@OP-fd4lh Thank you for watching.
Thanks you best of best 👍👍👍
Hi I'm new at this but can you explain how to put it on cool and cool only please and thank you
It's the button that says MODE. Then you can press the button that says SPEED if you want it high or low. Hope I answered your question thanks for watching.
Excellent
Thanks for watching 👍
Hi! Could you by any chance indicate the window mount plate measurements?
Yes, that is a great question. The shortest width 26 1/2". It's designed to extend up to 48-inch. But it has a 2-inch extra play room.
It's maximum width 50-inches. And it's latch can still lock in place at 50-inches. Thank you for watching.
my unit stopped blowing cold air, any recommendations? I unplugged waited and plugged back in. I have had no luck
@@ItsBeastMDE Check that the unit temperature setting is lower than the room temperature; check that the fan is blowing warm air from the back of the unit; check that you hear the compressor kick on after start up (could be a 3 minutes delay); check that the filter is clean and unit has not error messages.
Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
Mine started shutting down after only 2 months of use. E4 error code. Filters are clean. Drained all water though it never produces much. I can get it to cool if I start it in fan only or dry only for about 15 minutes and then switch to cool. I can hear the compressor turn back on. When shut off I hear something like plastic or ice falling. I fear it could have a coil leak or an electrical issue. There is no fix for that. Repair would cost as much as a new one. I may put in a warranty claim.
@@HandymanLand I checked and the air in the back is not warm unfortunately and it’s set to lower temp than the room. It’s too hot and it not working is just upsetting thank you for replying though it means a lot.
@@Igotstaknowit idk what to do man. No warm air. I cleaned the filter and everything and nothing.
@@ItsBeastMDE 👍, thanks for watching.
Does this unit automatically completely shut off when the set temperature is reached or does the compressor only shut off while the fan stays on?
When the room reaches the desired temperature, the compressor shuts off. The unit will continue running to. Maintain the room at that temperature. But if it drops too much, the compressor kicks back on again to get it back to the desired temperature. Hope I have answered your question. Thank you for watching.👍
@HandymanLand thanks for the reply. That's weird. I just bought the Serenelife SLPAC10 and whenever it reaches the desires temperature, the compressor kicks off and the fan stays on, BUT after a couple of minutes, the fan also turns off until the temperature goes up again, then the unit turns on again.
This drives me crazy because the difference in sound wakes me up! It is so annoying and there doesn't seem to be a way to disable this. My previous hisense portable a/c did the same thing whereas all the other a/cs I've owned would always keep the fan on...
How do you install the gray head that goes on the big tube ?
Hi, If i'm understanding the question. The big head goes to the window and connects to the tube? If so, the tube is like a threaded pipe. You screw the head onto the tube. Hope I answered your question. Thanks for watching.
Also where does the one screw go?
The little screw is when you lock in your big Gray piece to your window plate assembly, then you place that screw in. I believe I do show it close to the end of the video.
What about taking it apart to clean it? I cannot find any videos on this.
I haven't needed to break it down to do a thorough cleaning. But when the time comes, I'll make a video. Thanks for watching.
@@HandymanLand There is a video on here taking apart an LG portable air conditioner. It looks exacting like my SereneLife down to screw placement in back and filters. Only thing that looks different is the control panel. I wonder if they come out of the same factory.
Thanks!
Thanks for watching 👍
E4 error code. Only slightly warm, not very warm, out the exhaust hose, unlike my 5 year old 5,000 btu Hisense which still works great at removing hot air from the room. All filters clean, water drained. Measured temp out the front vent is 68. Hisense blows 51 into the room. Only reason I got the SereneLife is it is 12,000 btu, but the little Hisense walks all over this giant paperweight. I'm only a few months into a 1 year warranty. I hope they don't force me to pay to ship this heavy unit back.
Ive had this unit for a year. I turned it on when things started to get warm and had about a week of good usage before it's started to leak while running on cool, wondering if anyone has any tips on this.
Along with a dirty air filter, the drain hose of your air conditioner can be clogged with accumulated dirt, debris, or even mold. Hope this tip helps you troubleshoot the issue.Thank you for your help.
@@HandymanLand How would the drain hose get cleaned out? Is it safe to remove the back panneling of the AC for cleaning? Thank you for the tip!
@dripgodbear If the drain hose is dirty, you can let it sit in a bucket of twenty-five percent bleach and seventy-five percent water. Let it set for a few hours or until you're satisfied. Just be safe about it.Eye protection and gloves. And then run it under the spit or outside water hose. As for the back cover, I've haven't needed to do it.So i'm not sure how to do it. But i'm pretty sure it's just clips and screws holding it.
How do you prevent critters and bugs from crawling into tube especially in Florida ?
I took a window screen and cut it to size and mount it. It's been working fine. Thank you for watching.
After watching your great video, we ended up purchasing the SereneLife SLPAC14 A/C. First of all, we purchase this brand because of what we thought would be GREAT FEATURES! Not so!! #1, The panel did not have a latch for ease of connection, but a toggle bolt. #2, the hose was separated by the connectors and the hose “KEEPS FALLING: OFF” when we move the unit.. even after I PLACED DUCT TAPE over it…#3. I called Customer Service on 06/25 and explained my great disappointment to them. I finally got an email with ticket number on 7/5 asking for more info and address. #4 Never received a confirmation on the status of shipment. #5. 7/15, I had to call Customer Service to Parts #. They never shipped the items… now it’s in their list. Unbelievable!! Bottom Line…. I personally would not ORDER from them again on ANY of their Product Line!!
Wow, I am sorry to hear you had such a bad experience. Sounds almost if they sent you a floor model. But that's no excuse for bad customer service. Shame on them. The unit we receive is working fantastic still. Someone definitely send you an awful unit. Thank you for sharing your experience. Sorry it wasn't a good experience.
Do you know what error code E5 means?
E5 code is typically, on most units, that the unit needs to be drained. It is filled with water. Sorry for the late response. Thanks for watching.
Sleep mode but un.
Nice guy but don’t ever try to put yourself over the audience while people like myself are in a humid heatwave
