Customer Reviews

Outstanding Spot Conditioner
I purchased this unit from Amazon to provide spot conditioning to my loft, as I've just cut the trees around the house and increased the heat load. While I can't rate its utility as a stand-alone room unit, for my purpose it works well.
The unit is not too noisy, when operating as an AC, it has two fans and the compressor running, but it rates favourably with window units I've heard. I question the 60 pints resevoir, the manual says removing the drain plug yields about 1.5 liters (12 pints) but who cares? The water goes out the exhaust. I did insulate the exhaust hose, as it gets pretty hot.
The remote control is outstanding. All the functions appear on the remote, and there is an audible 'beep' from the unit that indicates that it recieved your instruction. The remote even has a clock (woot!). Lastly, from the remote only you can access the 'sweep' function. This causes the internal dampers of the air output to sweep left to right and back, distributing the air over about 120 degrees of an arc.
I've only had the unit a week, so I can't rate its longevity, but its features and cooling ablilty are top notch.

Update: I've now gone through two 90 degree plus days of bright sunshine, and the unit keeps the loft colder than the downstairs! I consider that quite an acomplishment. I continue to be very satisfied.

Cools However, it Leaks Rivers of water on the Floor...
The unit does cool wonderfully, However it has leaked rivers of water onto my carpet. I have left 3 messages with the manufacturer and have gotten NO response from them. I see no possible easy way to drain the water since the port is one inch off the floor. I have resorted to putting the unit on a dog kennel tray to prevent the saturation of the surrounding carpet. I would consider selling the item to get rid of it, However, I cannot even begin to imagine the bad feedback I would get from selling this item. Next step is to try returning to original place of purchase since in my opinion the item is defective--it recycles little or no water. Only dumping water on the floor. Good Luck buying this, Buyer Beware!

Leaks a lot of water!
I installed this unit in a carpeted bedroom. It leaks. I don't mean a few drops, it leaks a LOT of water! The owner's manual states "Water will accumulate in a holding tank at the bottom of the unit, and the unit will automatically shut off." WRONG! Yes, the water does accumulate but the unit never shuts off. It overflows until a human shuts it off.

The first night I ran this in my bedroom, I awoke to about a 6-foot circle of very wet carpeting. I drained the tank manually (very difficult to do without spilling even more water) and then was stupid enough to try it a second night. The next morning I awoke to a much larger circle of sopping wet carpet.

Two days later the company is not returning my calls and the bedroom is starting to smell of mold and mildew. I am afraid this may turn into a very expensive replacement carpet.
