Good device and performance
Unfortunately I couldn't drill a hole to the terrace for the waste heat, but I found an exhaust vent for tilted windows... see picture
Pro
- Powerful 12000 BTU
- Low noise 65 dB
- Beautiful design
- Inexpensive
Cool quick and quiet
Nice work and actually help sleep
Best decision ever made
I was very suspicious of bying transportable A/C but scorching heat in Geneva did not leave a choice.
100% worth it.
Cooles down the living room of 50m2 from 37с outside to 25с inside.
No need to buy window kit, if you have a nice tape and a bit of imagination to seal it on the window.Pro
- Nice price / quality ratio
- Not that loud
Top cooling & relatively quiet
Pro
- Makes pleasantly cool
- Would say for 50m2 a bit weak, for 40m2 perfect with 12,000 BTU
- Very quiet compared to many other suppliers
- Condensate is discharged at the upper screw, which is positive. Hose on, bucket underneath, done
- If you want to cool 50m2 and more, you should go for 14,000 BTU and more
- Dehumidifies very well, which creates a top climate.
- Please let the appliance stand for 4 hours after delivery, just like refrigerators.
Cools down my 46m² attic flat perfectly
Super unit. I previously had an air conditioner from a cheap supplier with 7,000 BTU. It worked semi well. Now with this 12,000 BTU and a much more pleasant fan noise, this air conditioner cools my extremely hot attic flat completely in less than 1 hour. It is worth every centime. Better invest a few francs more instead of buying a cheap one like I did. I think it's worth it - not to mention the fact that it uses much less energy!
Does what it is supposed to do but....
When I installed the air conditioner, I had high hopes that it would get cooler in the room. At the beginning it got cooler quite quickly (approx. 50 sqm), but now comes the BUT... then it stagnates. As many others have written, the air conditioner creates a negative pressure in the flat because it has 2 air circuits. One to cool the inside air and the other to bring the warm air outside. Unfortunately, the inside air is used for the exhaust air, which leads to a negative pressure. As soon as the negative pressure is strong enough, the air from outside is drawn back into the flat through some holes, i.e. the air conditioner is no longer useful. For me, for example, with an outside temperature of 35 degrees, I get down from 28 to 26, and that's as low as I can go.
But there is a solution to the problem. You turn the 1-hose system into a 2-hose system, i.e. you give the air conditioner the air from outside for the exhaust circuit. Instructions are available on Youtube, and if you have some manual skills you can convert it for about 40 CHF. I have installed 2x 150mm hoses for the intake.
Since the conversion I no longer have negative pressure, now the internal air is permanently cooled down. It is now cooler and cheaper in terms of electricity. It may not be so great for the air conditioner as it now works with approx. 6-7 degrees warmer air for the exhaust air, but the 1-hose operation is even worse.
12000 BTU has now become 15000 BTU... xDPro
- Good cooling capacity
- easy to use
- looks good
- Can be easily converted to a 2-hose system
Contra
- on Min. still loud
- Exhaust air hose somewhat rigid / cumbersome
- Concept
