Product Description
Our evaporative portable a/c unit offers a 38.4 pint dehumidifier that reduces unwanted moisture using our unique evaporative process, by removing moisture from the air and drips onto the condenser. The condenser evaporates the water and exhaust it out of the exhaust hose with the hot air. If the water is not fully evaporated it is dripped into a small pan and then pumped back up to be evaporated by the condenser. This unit can cool up to a 250 square foot space, with a programmable digital thermostat for precise comfort control. Features a programmable timer that shuts the unit on/off and remembers all settings, along with a sleep mode that automatically increases set temperature to conserve energy. LCD remote control operates and displays all settings. The single hose exhaust system provides quick spot cooling and 2 speed fan with adjustable louvers increases circulation. Also includes a washable and reusable air filter that reduces dust and other airborne particles, and heavy duty casters attached for easy portability. More powerful, more reliable and more energy efficient.

Customer Reviews
I bought this product to cool a very small bedroom (<100 sq ft) whose windows I have to keep sealed because of sinus allergies and air quality concerns. It was easy to set up and does a good job of cooling without too much noise. My main disappointment was that the thermostat controls only the compressor, not the fan; I had thought that perhaps both the compressor and the fan would shut off once the desired temperature was reached, but if the unit is on in its AC mode, the fan runs continually. Second, when I turned the machine on using the "on" button on the unit, the thermostat setting showed in Fahrenheit, but once I started using the remote, it switched to Celsius, and I couldn't get it to switch back, not even by following the instructions in the manual. Finally, the fan noise, although reasonably low, is not entirely smooth, and is just irregular enough (with an undertone of rumbling) that it can interfere with falling asleep. Despite these minor issues, on the whole I find this product to be a good value for the money.
I was initially willing to give this solid little air conditioner a 5 star review. However, due to its lackluster handling of water condensation I am only willing to give it 1 out of 5 stars. This item has a built in reservoir for water condensation. The manual states that at the time the reservoir becomes full, an alarm will sound and the compressor will shut off. This is not the case. Instead, the reservoir simply fills to capacity without any warning and eventually overflows onto the floor /carpet through the bottom of the unit. Attempting to drain the reservoir via the small drainage hose on the back of the unit is an exercise in futility as it is poorly placed. I was able to drain the reservoir faster by placing the unit in the tub and tilting it at a 45 degree angle. If you decide to pick up this item...Have some spare towels handy.
