Friedrich KS15L10 QuietMaster R : KS15L10 Review

this is your unit! I like it like a meat locker in my bedroom, and this unit does the trick. I had intially bought a Kenmore 12,000 BTU based on Consumer Reports and found that it blew cool air, and was quiet, but I wanted cold, icy-like air. I live in South Texas as well and have been suffering the worst heat wave and drought in history. This unit allows me to leave my house set at 79 at night, but be curled up under the covers in a very cold room at night. If I were to leave it on it would probably cool into the hall and my den. For anyone worried about noise, it runs very quietly, although I do like a little background "white noise" at night. My only other advice would be to shop around for prices...I got mine for just under $600.00.

LG 12,000 BTU Portable Conditioner / Dehumidifier combo w/ Remote Review

I've owned and used this model for 2 full summers. LG 12,000 BTU Portable Conditioner / Dehumidifier combo w/ Remote It cools my entire main floor within the expressed limits of the machine with no problem.Its a little large (they all are) and a little loud(again, for all I know they all are)--but during the summer who cares.It has worked without fail and if I could find another new one, I would buy it. I love the remote capability and the window insert since most of our area community covenents do not permit window units that jut out.
I purchased mine from a local big-box hardware store at ($599).

Sunpentown 12,000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner Review

I bought this sytem thinking it would at least provide some comfort from the Southern Cal heatwave we got durring the summer of 2006. Bottom line, IT DID NOT. The square footage of the top floor of our apartment is approximately 500 square feet. The largest temperature drop was from 91 degreees to 89 degrees at 9:00PM. Even sitting directly in front of the system's fan (approx 10 feet away) did little to cool one person, so forget about cooling a small room. Please look elsewhere if you want a room larger than a small closet cooled.

SPT AC-7013 Magic Clean Air Cleaner with Photo-Catalytic Oxidation Device and Ionizer Review

I wanted a PCO air purifier to have in my office, but this was too rinkydink for my tastes.I has four light-emitting diodes, one in each corner.I've seen small PCO filters that were made for use in a car that used LEDS, but for the space this fan takes up, I think it is way under lit.It seemed to add more odor to the room from its own off-gassing than it cleared up.I ran it for about two hours.It was very quiet on low speed at first, but then it started making a scraping/bearing noise.I sent it back and will try the NanoBreeze next.I don't have anything against Sunpentown.I have a humidifier and a portable air conditioner from them that I am very happy with.The PCO fan was unacceptable.

Product Description:
Features latest technology in air cleaning: TiO2 (photo-catalyst titanium dioxide) + UV light: when TiO2 captures UV light, it forms activated oxygen from water or oxygen in the air. This process is similar to photosynthesis, in which chlorophyll captures sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose. The formed activated oxygen is strong enough to oxidize and decompose organic materials or smelling gas, and kill bacteria.

Amcor ALTL12000EH 12000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Heat Review

This is the most terrible piece of electronic/small appliance/ home equipment I have ever had to deal with.The unit is ridiculously heavy, and therefore difficult to move and very frustrating and difficult to position near windows of various heights from the floor.It heats the room as much as it cools, rendering it as "useful" as a fan sucking in air in a window on a hot and humid day.It does this because the pipe that "vents" to the outside radiates heat through itself.The hot part of the A/C unit is still in the room with you, not hanging out the window, and therefore renders the cooling ineffective.

Go to insulate this trash thin plastic pipe, and its fitting cuff teeth that fasten it to the back of the unit snap off.It is poorly built, over-priced, and a frustrating waste of money and time.

The graphical display on the unit takes a thorough re-read of the manual to interpret all its obnoxious symbols for operation.I cannot wait to bring this back and retrieve every wasted nickel spent on it.

My advice to you is to buy a window unit.If you must get a "portable" one, don't buy Amcor.They Amsuck.

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, an LCD digital temperature display, full thermostat control, and electronic controls with a 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 for convenient mobility, 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.

Sunpentown Air Cooler with Ionizer Review

but not cool air.Doesn't really make much difference the temperature of the water or how much ice (yes, ice) you add, it doesn't do much to cool the air temperature.Dropped the temperature a whopping 1.3 degrees F in my first test (from 85.3 degrees to 84 degrees), and 0.9 degrees F in my second test.Don't bother.

Product Description:
This Evaporative Air Cooler, Humidifier, and Fan with Ionizer is versatile, lightweight and economical. The Cooler easily rolls from room to room for use anywhere in your house or office. This Air Cooler shoots a stream of air with oscillating louvers, to evenly distribute refreshing cool air. Can also be used as a fan or humidifier if temperature is not an issue. - plus get the air cleaning benefits of the ionic air purifier. The remote control allows you to easily change settings.The Air Cooler works by endothermic reaction (a reaction that consumes heat), so this evaporative Air Cooler 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. An air stream is then blown out the front of the unit and is considerably cooler than the current room temperature! This is not an air conditioner and therefore uses much less energy.SF-609

Kenwood KW85 Portable Air Conditioner - 8500 BTU Review

If only this gorgeous looking air conditioner could really cool a room!! I am so in love with the stunning sleek design and shiny bright white color. Very simple and professional looking. Sturdy build. Not cheap looking, like others I have seen at Home Depot and Sam's Club.

I bought this for my apartment. It has 8500 BTU. I planned to use it in the living room (13x15 or 208 square feet) during the day, and then the bedroom at night (a bit smaller). I opened the package immediately the night I brought it home, but once I turned the power on for the first time, I was surprised that high power, turned to be little more than a feeble blowing of air. This weak fan, does not allow any of the cold air to actually push out of the unit and cool the room!!! Even if you stood 2 feet from it, it barely blew on you!!! Who would engineer such a thing?

The real test was the next day, when temperatures outside soared to 93 degrees. My unit could not manage to make the room cooler than 88 degrees for the entire day!

So disappointing that such a sleek looking and digital panneled portable a/c could disappoint like this. I read the entire manual, hooked it up properly and even called the company, Kenwood. Kenwood didn't really care. They told me it is discontinued and to just return it!! Strange that customer service was so lackadaisical and uncommitted.

With all the terribly ugly looking portable units out there, I had really wanted this to be my new a/c, but I will have to look elsewhere, and this time for something having perhaps 12000 BTU and a fan that blows like a tornado! Please, someone, design a beautiful looking portable a/c for far under $600 that works! What a pain. I hate the thought of lugging this 80 plus pound machine back to the store.
