Good deal if you need a small one of these. If only it was a 12000+ unit.

Thoughts on this? I realize it is only a single hose so a lot of people will poo-poo it immediately.

I'm looking for a backup in case my whole house AC goes down (unit is 20+ years old). I almost bit the Whytner (sp?) earlier for $300 but let that pass. It would be used to cool one room in a house- I realize it wouldn't be able to cool the whole house, no portable AC could really.

Seems like most of the HD reviews for it are pretty good. And considering it wouldn't be used a whole lot, it's probably fine for my scenario I'm guessing. Skeptical because I've never heard of the brand. Thinking I'd buy it with a chase card for the extended warranty.

This is a rebranded Hisense. I have a similar model. They work great, albeit a bit loud.

Inefficient yes but I have a similar model, LG brand and worked great when I lost power for 3 days in the middle of humid summer, living off of a generator. Better than nothing and I wouldn't use it exclusively or often because it's a single hose but it'll certainly get the job done temporarily.

Not seeing much information on the drainage situation of this unit and some of the questions/reviews about it are unanswered. Anyone here have any insight on how much water it holds?

Picked this up for my office. I have the dual hose hisense model that looks like this for my living room so I hope it's at least as reliable.

So the unit has two separate drain lines: The one in the middle is a garden-hose style threaded opening (with a cap), and at the bottom is a physically smaller drain line (also with a cap). The unit has a "Dry" mode which still does good cooling, and a specific "Cool" mode, and the two openings/water tanks correspond to those. These openings are physically distinct, so opening the lower one doesn't drain the upper one, and vice-versa.

They have some interior water space for each drain chamber, but you basically want to have the drain lines set up for whichever mode(s) you'll use, and the hoses should basically feed to something at/around floor-level. If both the drain openings are closed and you're running the unit in summer weather, I'd expect the unit to go into its "Flood" state (where it automatically turns off its compressor) within 4-6 hours. The moisture levels in your specific space would make that number vary +/- a large amount.

Depending on your room's setup, that can either be no big deal or a bit annoying. Even in normal humidity, these units can put out a lot of water, so do keep that in mind. If the room you're using it in wasn't previously air-conditioned, it'll put out even more water than usual the first handful of days as it draws out moisture from any porous materials in the room itself, but that's a temporary state.

I say all this as someone who uses it happily in my main living room, and the two points of annoyance were the noise level and the water situation; I think both are manageable, but just be ready to accommodate both.

Not Energy Star rated, but does that matter/offset potential local rebates?

Is this too loud to use in a very small office while on the phone? I am converting a hightop cargo van into a mobile office, and I want a portable unit to use instead of running a V8 just for the a/c. I want as small and efficient as possible, as I'll be running it on a deep cycle battery or generator. Will this fit the bill, or do any of you know of a good one to pick up?

TIA!

Do you also have a backup for your fridge, stove, washer/dryer? Your AC may work for another 5 years for all you know or break before this thing has even been delivered. Just buy something locally when you actually need it so it's always under the full warranty and can be returned if you happen not to like something about it.

It actually died this year. Luckily i was able to replace the capacitor and fan motor. We were without ac for about aweek while waiting for parts to arrive. But it made me realize I should have a plan b in place since it is so old.

Looks just like it.

I always wondered if you JB Welded another hose onto the intake, if it would be a little more efficient than just sucking in the air from all the other cracks and crevices in your home. It'd still get a lot that way, but if it managed to get 50% from outside the house, that seems like it'd be good, no?
