Soleus Air PH1-12R-03 12,000-BTU Evaporative Portable Air Conditioner with Heat Pump and Remote Control Review

Soleus Air PH1-12R-03 12,000-BTU Evaporative Portable Air Conditioner with Heat Pump and Remote ControlIt was a monster. It was very loud, I needed to wear a pair of ear plug while I was sleeping. Draining water was a disaster. (this is the reason I return it). I only used it for 3 nights about 24 hrs, and the monitor showed full (it was not humid in our area, we havn't had rain about 1 month).OK, I got the drain pan and a drain tube that came with the product. The drain pan is about 10cmX8cm and 1.2cm deep, however, it is shallow that can only contain about 1/2 cup of water. the drain tube is about 50cm (1 1/2 in)I plugged the tube into the drain hole and have the pan to catch water from the tube. The first load water filled out the pan so quickly, so water spilled on the floor. The second load I reacted quicker before drain pan filled of water. I use right hand to hold the tube upright (so water would not come out), the other hand to dump water into a bucket. While I was dumping water, the tube disconnected form the drain hole, of course, water was everywhere. I was so made about its design. the drain pan is so small but water came from the machine was a lot (about more than half gallon). Anyway, whoever wants to buy this product, I will not recommend this product.

Product Description:
For exceptional versatility and comfort throughout the year, this four-in-one portable appliance functions as an air conditioner, heater, fan, and dehumidifier. Use it as a 1340-watt air conditioner with 12,000 BTUs of cooling power for staying comfortable in the summer, then in the winter switch over to its 1090-watt heater mode, which uses Heat Pump technology to deliver 12,200 BTUs of heating power. The user-friendly electronic control panel makes it easy to select the mode of operation, the ideal room temperature from 61 to 88 degrees F, and the fan speed--low, medium, or high. A handy remote control with batteries comes included, which allows for changing the settings from across the room. The unit can also function as an evaporative dehumidifier, removing up to 63 pints of moisture from the air a day to help maintain ideal comfort levels. Its Auto mode provides added convenience where the unit operates as a heater when the room temperature falls below 68 degrees F, as a dehumidifier when the room temperature sits between 68 and 73 degrees F, and as an air conditioner when the room temperature reaches above 73 degrees F. Other highlights include Sleep mode, a 24-hour automatic on/off programmable timer, optional oscillation, durable casters, and easy-access permanent air filters. Best of all, its portable design means there's no need for permanent installation. Simply connect the exhaust hose (extendable up to 60-5/8 inches) to an open window using the included window-exhaust kit. The unit's efficient self-evaporating technology means there's no need to continually drain the unit. In extremely humid conditions, however, condensation may collect in the built-in tank if it can't evaporate fast enough. The compressor will automatically shut-off if the tank reaches capacity, and a "full" indicator will alert users to the need for emptying the tank. Accessories include a flexible exhaust hose with two adapters, an adjustable window-slider kit, a drain tube, and a drain pan. Ideal for the home or office as an air conditioner, heater, fan, and dehumidifier, the appliance measures 22-2/5 by 14-2/5 by 30-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
