Danby DPAC120068 12,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've owned one of the Danby 12,000 BTU air conditioners (model DPAC 12030) for two years now. A unit of this size struggles to cool a 400 sq.ft. room a few degrees (with 30ºC outside, window curtains drawn). I find the best way to use it is to have the air blowing directly toward me.

My main complaints about the unit are:

* After a few months of use the small LED display, which is needed to operate the unit, slowly went dim to the point of not being able to read it. After many phone calls to Danby I was finally able to get the display replaced under warranty by a local electronics service company. But a few months later the display went dim again - as though Danby hadn't bothered to upgrade this obviously faulty component. To their credit, Danby agreed to replace the display one more time out of warranty.

* The air coming out of the unit had a strange smell of oil for the first season. The service company said that sometimes the compressor leaks oil and it was probably the smell of the oil burning off of the compressor housing.

* The unit is not real quiet. For the first year there was a rattling noise that occurred when the compressor kicked in, but this noise seems to have gone now.

Haier CPRB07XC7 7,000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Remote Control Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this product two days ago.I live in upstate New York and the humidity can be deadly.The first day the remote worked and I was very excited.Yesterday, the remote did not work and today I put new batteries in it.Guess what?It still doesn't work.Without the remote you cannot do anything but turn it on.You can't change the temperature, you can't change the function, you can't change the speed at which the air comes out, you simply cannot do anything.I called the 800 number and was told that the remote was on BACKORDER for 30-90 days!30-90 days!!Summer and the heat will be over by then! When asked why this was, the answer was that the product needs to be shipped from CHINA and that in order for the 30-90 days to begin, they had to have my proof of purchase first!We all know that large corporations take several days to several weeks to process anything, so to add this on top of the fact it takes that long makes me never want to purchase another Haier product again.My suggestion is that you do the same with customer service like this.

SPT Portable Air Conditioner, 9000 BTUs, WA-9000E Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Let me explain what I think about this unit. I have 3500 square feet house in Central Florida and top of the line heat pump Central Air just installed a few years ago. All works perfect except one thing: I have to cool the entire house with it and at 4500 Watts in case of power down my diesel generator at 6500 Watts is just about running it when 1100 Watts refrigerator and lights are on at the same time. Another thing is Central Air conditioner will get you over 250 bucks electric bill during summer and this is when thermostat is set to only 79 degrees Fahrenheit. Now, I ordered this unit thinking it is going to be so-so portable that can subsidize cooling now and then. The unit came in UPS, it is about 84 lbs, has wheels, is very quiet, does wonders drying the air, very nice quality built and components, remote, digital thermostat, can be converted to auto drain with just additional hose if you really must, runs on 1100 Watts, and is pleasant to look at. At 9000 BTU it is very nice gizmo indeed - no vibrations, smooth working and very well made. That very same day I received it and run it for entire day, I ordered another one just like it. I hope that explains how good and useful this thing is. Get one if you need one and you will be happy you did. BTW, packaging for shipping was absolutely exemplary - this thing would have to be dropped from 2nd floor on concrete to get damaged in all that styrofoam and cartons. I am very happy with this purchase. Remote is also quite handy when you use it in the bedroom at night. Water tank that had to be emptied is actually good thing, because no worries about over flooding the unit, and you can distilled water for ironing or car battery if you ever need that. The conversion adapter for continues water drain is included if you need that. I am somehow puzzled with negative review posted under Alesia, because I went to this individual's "see my other reviews" and there were like a HUNDRED of portable units, all with the SAME REVIEW and all purchased on the SAME DAY. That is very strange indeed. It is either mistake or overdose. Anyway, I think this unit is working well and it is worth the money. I use it already for over a month and it is better then ever.

Soleus PE4-12R-03 12,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner, 3-Speed Fan and 60 Pint Dehumidifier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Shame on Soleus.They designed the drainage function of this machine so poorly as to be virtually unusable. Apparently the unit is supposed to be evaporative, which means it isn't supposed to need draining.However, when hooked up on the humid east coast during a heat wave, the internal tank was filling up every couple of hours.When full, the machine shuts down.

To drain the unit, you have to unscrew a tiny cap which is located at the very bottom of the machine, UNDER the hot air exhaust hose.Picture trying to access this down at the floor.They give you a tiny tray, a 1/2 inch deep, and suggest, I kid you not, that you unscrew the cap, drain into the tiny tray, and then screw the cap back on to stop the flow of water.Since the capacity of the tray is about a 1/2 cup and the capacity of the internal tank is a liter and a half, you are going to have to repeat this process about 16 times to drain the tank.An alternative, they helpfully tell you, is to go to the hardware store and get a hose with an inner diameter of 5/8 inch.Which, unfortunately, does not actually fit on the drainage valve.As far as I can tell, the only possible solution to this is to elevate the air conditioner and attach the correct fitting hose and have it drain into a larger container.Which all just sort of defeats the purpose of a portable unit, doesn't it?

This Soleus unit was donated to my organization by a friend who bought it and couldn't use it because of the drain problems.We are going to use it in a smaller office and will rig up a permanent drain system.

The bottom line is that portable units are ALWAYS less efficient than their window mount cousins because the heat thrown through the exhaust hose radiates into the room and must be compensated for by the btus of the unit.In my office, we have 8000 btu window units which cool our 14 foot ceiling offices very efficiently, whereas a 9000 btu portable unit couldn't lower the ambient temp at all.So, if you can possibly go with a window unit, do it. If you absolutely must have a portable, make sure you get a higher btu than you think you need and do NOT go with the Soleus.It very poorly designed.

SPT SF-608R Portable Evaporative Air Cooler Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First off, this is NOT an air conditioner.If you expect your room to be freezing cold, this is not the product for you.It's a COOLER, and it does its job very well.It works by evaporating water.Try soaking a T-shirt, wringing it out, and putting it on wet to get the effect.It doesn't work very well in humid areas, but it works GREAT where the air is dry.
I'm in southern California, where the humidity varies pretty widely.I place the cooler six or eight feet from my chair, and on the hottest days I'm quite comfortable.
Benefits:
* it's about 1/5 the cost of an air conditioner
* operating expense is a fraction of the cost of air conditioning
* neat features! (timer, sleep function, etc.)
* remote control

Drawbacks:
* it's not freezing cold like air conditioning.

Product Description:
Versatile, lightweight, and economical, this evaporative air cooler easily rolls from room to room for use anywhere in the home or office. Unlike a fan that blows hot air and more energy efficient than an air conditioner, the appliance uses water to cool a personal space up to 12 degrees lower than the ambient temperature. The air cooler works by endothermic reaction (a reaction that consumes heat). The unit sucks air through a wick saturated with water; as the air flows through the wick, some of the water evaporates into the air, consuming the heat that was in the air. A cool air stream then gets blown out the front of the unit through oscillating louvers for even distribution.
The appliance can also be used as just a fan or a humidifier when temperature is not an issue. Easily change the settings with the included remote control. The unit provides an air flow of 23 feet per second, a water-consumption rate of 0.6 to 0.7 liters per hour, and a 10-liter water-tank capacity. Other details include a nylon and photocatalystic filter, three air speeds, a sleep mode, and a timer that can be set from a half hour to seven-and-a-half hours. Though perfect for use in dry climates, please note that the appliance does not work very effectively in areas with high humidity since it utilizes water to cool. The 60-watt air cooler measures 12 by 16 by 25 inches and carries a one-year warranty.

Soleus Portable Air Conditioner/Heater/Dehumidifier/Fan, 12,000 BTUs, PH3-12R-03 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This air conditioner/heater/dehumidifier is highly overrated by the manufacturer. 12,000 BTU should make your home feel like a refrigerator. It doesn't! It doesn't come close to the air cooling capacity of window units with less than half this rating. The drainage outlet is located way too close to the floor thereby not allowing for a hose to drain properly without elevating the unit. While there is a condensation overflow tank drainage again is an issue. I ran the unit for a solid eight hours at the lowest temperature setting/highest fan speed and the first floor of my small home was only marginally cooler. I was very disappointed as I had hoped this was the answer to both my cooling and heating needs.

Soleus Air PH4-13R-01 13,000 BTU Evaporative Portable Air Conditioner, 13,000 BTU Heater, Dehumidifier and Fan, White with Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this unit in July 2008 and I have had nothing but problems with it. The Soleus support line is always busy, and when you do get someone, they look for an answer and never call back. My front panel to control the unit does not work, and I have tried to get Soleus to replace the panel, with no luck. I have to use the remote control to use the A/C. Around 2 years of service, and the unit started leaking water. It appears the drain line for the unit is not placed far enough back, and so the water pan just drips out of the unit, right onto the floor. You can pay to have the unit shipped back and repaired they said, but the minimum charge is $150 plus shipping charges. Don't waste your money!
