Amcor Portable Air Conditioner

Well, for the price I don't think they have this one figured out. If you rely on draining the water by hand with the little bucket thing they supply you will be draining it continuously all day long and getting water all over your floor in the process. You really must go out and get a drain hose and have it drain to the outdoors, however; the directions state that the hose has to be lower than the unit and since the drain is at the bottom of the unit it does pose a problem and the water backs up a lot. All that said, it does cool the room down... but you need to weigh the pros and cons and since it is EXTREMELY heavy it is not worth it to send back. This is the first disappointment I've had on overstock.

THIS PRODUCT HAS NOT COOLED MY ROOM. I PREVIOUSLY HAD A WINDCHASER A/C AND DEHUMIDIFIER THAT WORKED GREAT. I PURCHASED THIS UNIT BECAUSE IT HAS A HIGHER BTU. BUT THIS HAS NOT HELPED. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF RETURNING IT.

This unit replaced a 8600 BTU window unit from 1994. So a 14000 BTU was an upgrade to say the least. The exhaust tube was a bit strange, but finally figured it out. Unit came with a nice remote and a pretty long power cord with a built in GFI. Even though you get a little drain bucket to empty the water it generates, I've never used it. Get this: The water it collects from the air is pumped over the compressor coils, (High Pressure/Hot Side), and is then exhausted out the hose!. A pretty neat setup. Another nice feature is the variable fan function, it runs on high when it is far away from the set temperature, and as it get close to the set temp, the fan starts to slow down. There is some elaborate timer function that allows you to have it come on at certain points around the clock, but I have not had a chance to play with it. I could have spent much more and was very happy to find this unit at Overstock.com. $2.50 to ship a 80 pound unit from NYC to VA was a great deal to me, plus it had a $100.00 rebate. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it does not die in 7 months like my LG Dishwasher!!

It cools nicely. But very very difficult to empty water. the scoop that is provided does not prevent leakage onto your floor/carpet. I would like to send it back as it is so difficult to sit on the floor and try to drain it out every day without making a terrible mess. The vent at the top does not stay open, it falls back into the unit and shoots the cool air in a different direction than intended. It would cost too much to mail it back I'm afraid.
