Sunpentown WA-1410H 14,000btu Portable AC with Self-Evaporating Technology (w...Great item for portablity, though slightly pricey. Be warned though, I cannot recommend using this seller "Buy From The Best Inc." In dealing with them I found their customer service was unresponsive and rude. They tried to pass the buck on to amazon and expected me to do their job for them by working out the processing problems with them. When I simply told them I expect the item I paid for within 10 days, they were UNABLE to do it and actually said that asking for my item was a threat. Haha! It had already been over a week since my order was placed. Don't risk your time and money, find a better seller. I wisely cancelled my order with them, save yourself the pain in the butt!

Product Description:
Stay COOL or WARM and breathe fresher air with our newest 14,000btu units. Ideally cools or heats an area up to 500sq.ft. Effectively improves air circulation in poorly ventilated spaces and maximizes energy efficiency. Uses new UL required LCDI plug. Self-Evaporating Technology - during the cooling process, water is extracted from the air into the unit. In Cool mode, most of this water is recycled and used to cool the cooling coils and make it cool more efficiently. As this technology does not take in effect in heating mode, continuous drainage is highly recommended when running in Heat mode. UV Light - the technology of UV Germicidal lighting (UV-C) to effectively inactivate microorganisms. Due to its short wavelength (200 to 270nm), UV-C penetrate outer membranes of bacteria, yeasts, molds and viruses - attacking the DNA which makes up their sturcture. By breaking the chains within the DNA, the Microorganism is then unable to reproduce and die. UV Germicidal light has proven effective in a growing number of applications where control of microorganisms is important. Note: Exhaust hose installation required (all standard accessories included). This unit require a dedicated 20A circuit.

DeLonghi Pinguino PAC260 Portable Air Conditioner - 9000 BTU Review

DeLonghi Pinguino PAC260 Portable Air Conditioner - 9000 BTUDear H&G Enthusiast,
I too was disapointed by the results that I obtained.I used the PAC260 for almost 8 years, 16 hours a day, 7 days a week.I got immediated relief when I turned it on.I got 20-35 degrees of temperature relief and 20-45% humidity releif from this machine.it to 20-30minutes to get this relief.I never used the water in my PAC290 and got this kind of releif.I was told that the PAC260 and the PAC290 as I used it were the same.they clearly are not the same.Another issue that you did not adress which I hope you will address if the air filter provided with the machine.In my old PAC290 the filter would be caked with particles after a week.This one is as clean as th eday I got th emachine installed several days ago.Are you finding this to be the case, I would appreciate knowing your result.It is a great machine, but does not quite live up to the PAC290 that I purchased in 1995.

Part of your review
We were disappointed to find out after purchasing this unit that it takes a long time to cool a room. It's not like a window unit that pumps out frigid air for quick relief. For the 150-square-foot office in our home, it takes 6-8 hours to lower the temperature from the 80s to the low 70s. But none of this machine's slow-cooling characteristics are mentioned in any of the materials.

Whynter Eco Friendly 12000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner - Platinum Review

Whynter Eco Friendly 12000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner - PlatinumThis portable A/C works great. I sincerely doubt that it will really cool a 450 sq ft area but it does a great job for my bedroom upstairs...which is all I was really concerned with. My bedroom measures 13' x 12' or 156 sq ft and it takes about an hour to get from 85° F to 69° F. Setting it up was a breeze. The only problem I had was with the window exhaust kit. The expandable PVC plastic window mount wasn't long enough to cover the entire height of my bedroom window...it's about 5 inches too short. I had to cover that space with a piece of plastic that I cut to fit and duct taped in place. One thing I don't like about this unit is the placement of the exhaust hose...it's in the back. Some units have it on the top of the unit so that you can place the unit almost flush against the wall. The back of my unit sticks out about a foot and a half from the wall which makes getting around it a slight pain in the rear...but hey, at least I'll be cool this summer :). Another con...it doesn't have oscilating louvers. The louvers are fixed and can't be adjusted up or down. There are lateral louvers behind the front grill that can be adjusted manually from side to side with a slider. Oh...and one more thing...it's pretty loud when the compressor is running. It takes some getting used to.

Soleus LX-140 14,000 BTU Portable Evaporative Air Conditioner With Heat Pump Review

Soleus LX-140 14,000 BTU Portable Evaporative Air Conditioner With Heat PumpIf you are looking for a portable air conditioner/heat pump avoid this product and manufacturer.While the unit is satisfactory when running, once any problems develop that require service outside the warranty period, you may as well junk it.My unit lasted just 14 months and developed a leak that ruined my floor.Considering that I only used the air conditioning function during the summer, it only lasted one cooling season.

There is no local service network to fix even the most minor problem.I suppose that you could ship the unit back as was suggested by Soleusair for repair, but have you ever struggled with boxing and shipping a large unit that weighs 50 or 60 pounds, to say nothing about the premium shipping and repair cost. It is cheaply made and unreliable

Sunpentown Portable Air Conditioner 14,000 BTU w/ remote control, ionizer and UV light Review

Sunpentown Portable Air Conditioner 14,000 BTU w/ remote control, ionizer and UV lightWe have the WA-1220M model of this product (virtually identical). If you stand right in front on it, up to about 5 feet away, it's nice. However, it has several drawbacks:

1. It isn't very good at drying the air; evaporation is needed for effective air-conditioning (whether in your car or your home).

2. It must be drained of the water it does pull from the air, and draining the unit is very cumbersome. It comes with a small flexible plastic tube that has to be connected to the rear bottom of the unit; the other end must be lower in order to drain or the unit really does very little and although there's an indicator light that will come on if the unit is quite full of water, it's very rare that the light comes on (and it only does so LONG after the unit has stopped cooling the air). We have taken to wrapping a large towel around the far end of the tube to collect water that drains, but basically you must tilt the heavy unit backwards to try to drain it. This is not particularly effective but it must be done.

3. It has wheels, but it doesn't roll easily (it's hard to push or pull it in a straight line and the wheels are so small even getting over a low rug is difficult.

4. Moving the unit up or down a single step can be accomplished by one person but since the entire unit is made of very smooth, slippery plastic (it has handles but they're very shallow & not helpful), it's more safely accomplished with two people.

5. Consider that this unit, while mobile, sacrifices a good window seal. The large exhaust hose (which pumps the hot air outside) resembles a telescoping dryer hose that easily falls out of the backside of the unit and is awkward to extend evenly. The unit comes with a smallish piece of foam with a cutout hole for the hose. However, you are left with having to find some way to block the rest of whatever window you choose to put the hole into. We use a large carboard box panel and cut a hole out of, then duct-tape the box into the window opening to block out air seepage. As you can imagine, it looks pretty tacky.

We wouldn't buy this again.

Whynter Eco Friendly 13000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner - Platinum Review

Whynter Eco Friendly 13000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner - PlatinumI've owned and used several portable air conditioners over the years and I'm truly surprised at the speed of innovation over the last several years. Now it has come to a point where portable units have moved beyond your functional clunky beige contraption to something that has been designed to subtly blend into the surroundings. After deciding between this and a Delonghi (yes, I've finally arrived now that I can afford high-end appliances!) I decided to go with the more compact unit that was at a more affordable price point. I've been using this for about a month now and have been completely satisfied with nearly all aspects. One little gripe that I have, is the absence of handles on the side, it definitely is heavy too. It does however churn out very very cold air, look extremely slick and is a snap to use.The remote control has a myriad of functions that I will eventually use one day but for now, I just need the icey relief from a hot spring day.
