Product Description

The Amcor ALD 12000EH portable air conditioner is designed to fit most average-size rooms up to 400sq.ft. This model also functions as a 65 pint dehumidifier. Self Evaporating Technology - During the cooling process, water is extracted from the air into the unit. Most of this water is then recycled and used to cool the unit and make it run more efficiently. Approximately 65 to 70% of water condensed is evaporated out with the exhaust air, reducing the hassle of emptying the water tank constantly. This unit has a built-in water tank (not removable) with a drain outlet, and a water tube. When the tank fills, the compressor stops operating and the power light will flash. This indicates that the tank should be emptied. Included with the unit is a window and a wall exhaust kit. AC must be vented via exhaust hose (included). If your room has a heat source such as direct sunlight or computer servers, the AC coverage area may be reduced.

Amazon.com Product Description
Ideal for average-size rooms up to 400 square feet, this portable air conditioner features a 12,000-BTU cooling and heating capacity. During the cooling process, its self evaporating technology extracts water from the air that passes through the unit. Most of this water then works to help cool the machine for more efficient operation. Approximately 65 to 70 percent of water condensed evaporates out with the exhaust air, reducing the hassle of constantly having to empty the water tank. For the small amount of remaining water, the unit provides a built-in water tank with a drain outlet and a water tube. When the tank fills, the compressor stops operating and the power light will flash to indicate that the tank should be emptied.

The air conditioner also comes equipped with two fan speeds for fast or normal cooling, a digital temperature display, full thermostat control, and electronic controls with a handy remote control. Choose between continuous operation or the programmable timer, which can be preset up to 12 hours. Other highlights include a 62- to 90-degree F thermostat, moisture removal of 65 pints per day, a washable air filter, and an activated carbon filter, as well as adjustable louvers to control air flow, built-in casters, and an extendable exhaust hose (up to 5 feet). A window and wall exhaust kit comes included, and the air conditioner must be vented via the included exhaust hose. Please note, if the room has a heat source such as direct sunlight or computer servers, the coverage area may be reduced. Weighing 68 pounds, the air conditioner measures 16 by 15 by 30 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty and a five-year warranty on the compressor.

Customer Reviews

works as a heater but not as an air conditioner
We bought this unit for its A/C function but it has failed miserably. It hardly cools a room of any size. After 2 hours, the most this unit would do is to drop 3 degrees Fahrenheit in a small corner of the room while the rest of the room's temperature remains unchanged. One of the main problems might be due to the heat that its hose radiates. I have used insulators bought from the hardware store but they didn't help. The hose temperature can reach as high as 130 degrees! As a heater, this unit works fine. Noise can be unbearable, however.

POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE PRODUCT
Have a ALD12000 (no heater) bought less than 2 years ago. It no longer is cooling (probably compressor). Calls for assistance go unanswered. Getting (No one here to assist you...hangup) or (Leave a message we will get back to you. They don't) or (Try to leave them a message and their mailbox is full!)

Arrived damaged
Have no idea how well the unit actually works - it arrived damage so I never plugged it in. The cabinet broke away from the base of the unit during shipping. This appears to be due partially to the design of the unit (this junction was weak) and packaging (being weak, it was even more important to support it for shipping.) Given that the unit weighed about 90 lbs, it was not pleasant to pull it out of the packaging, only to have to re-package it to return it. However, the return went smooth and my purchase credited promptly. I ended up buying a Amcor Nanomax A12000EH instead, which works great.
