Royal Sovereign ARP-1003E Portable Air Conditioner 10,000 BTU Review

#1) [Marketing] It is clearly not self-evaporating (unless you live in a very dry climate).Sure, there's no bucket to empty - but a bucket would have been nice, since the unit is 100 pounds, and the drain plug is at the bottom.It holds about a pint, then...
#2) [Defect] leaks all over the carpet.At 59% relative humidity, it needs emptying every thirty minutes.We're going to have to replace a 4' x 6' piece of carpeting because the water it leaks has some kind of oily staining chemical residue.Even though the drain plug is secure & sealed, the leaks were coming from the inside the center of the unit.
#3) [Annoyance] It is loud.Very, very loud.Industrial facility loud.
#4) [Design Flaw] The heat exchanger vents hot air out a window, but does not replace it.This creates a negative pressure that draws air in from wherever it can - like unconditioned air from the rest of the house; or in our case, from the central air vents in the hot attic.So, while it's cool directly in front of the unit, the rest of the room becomes hotter than it would otherwise be.

It could work in a workshop or garage - somewhere you aren't necessarily worried about flooding & ridiculously loud noise, but I wouldn't recommend it for in-home use.

Maybe we got a bad one.Maybe they're all that way.Either way, it's going back.
