Will 6,800 BTU cool a tent?

For a tent up to roughly 130 square feet, yes, but only if the unit is vented outside and the tent is not in full sun. Larger tents or very hot days will outrun it.

How does it vent in a tent?

Portable AC units exhaust hot air through a hose, so you need a window or flap opening to route it out. Plan for that opening before you buy.

Can it heat overnight?

It has a 7,500 BTU heater and a sleep mode, so it can take the chill off a small space. It is not a substitute for a furnace in freezing weather.

Does it come with a remote?

Yes, a remote is included, along with sleep mode for setting it at night without getting up.

What size space does it cover?

The listed maximum coverage is 130 square feet. Treat that as a ceiling for a closed, shaded space, not a guarantee.

How does it compare with a cooling-only portable AC?

Cooling-only portables of similar BTU give you nothing for cold nights. This one adds a 7,500 BTU heater, which is the reason to pick it over them.

Our take on the 6800 BTU Portable Tent Air Conditioner and 7500 BTU Heater

This is a portable air conditioner rated at 6,800 BTU for cooling and 7,500 BTU for heating, sized for spaces up to about 130 square feet. It adds a remote and a sleep mode, so it can run overnight without getting up to adjust it. The heater makes it a two-season unit rather than a summer-only box. Most portable units in this class cool only, so the built-in heater is its main edge over rivals.
