 portable air conditioner August 6, 2010

I have been pleased with this portable air conditioner. It was a little larger than I anticipated, but cools nicely.
 this little guy can't take the heat August 1, 2010

I puchased this air conditioner less than a year ago and have had no problems with it untill now. it actually worked great untill the real summer heat moved. it stops working as if it overheats and shuts down. funny right, a air conditioner that overheats. this thing works fine in 70 deg. weather but cooling mode shuts down with 80 deg. +. i don't think this is normal. i need my money back.
 8,000 BTU Portable AC - Koldfront model May 31, 2010

Listen up, everyone!
When buying an air conditioner you MUST make sure that your room is the adequate size for the unit that you are buying. It seems that a lot of negative reviews are due to the following: Too much room, too little BTUs. It is the same with gas mileage on a car. You can't expect to get 35 mpg highway while driving 70 mph with a fully loaded car. However, most portable air conditioners overrated their cooling power by 50% (see a Kid's review). So, when you buy an AC always buy 50% more BTUs than is recommended (8,000 BTU recommended unit should be 12,000 BTU). With that said I would recommend this Koldfront AC unit.
Pros:
Very portable and lightweight
Low noise
Easy to use controls
Price
Has a timer
Compact
Cons:
Will only cool a small room/area
Needs to be drained (DON'T believe what the instructions state)
Should be set on a table or set higher than the drain hose
Does not do a good cooling job when it is humid
So, if you have a small area to cool, live in a low humidity area and want a QUIET portable AC under $300 then this is the one for you.

This machine is huge, heavy, poorly designed and unable to handle humidity. I just went back and checked the reviews and should have read them before purchasing. I live In an old home with uneven floors but this does not justify the poor performance. In humid conditions the holding tank fills up very quickly and the drain is positioned so low it can only be emptied by placing a cookie sheet under it - which then requires a balancing act to empty... in one instance, the little plug became unseated and the water ran out, damaging the ceiling below. Buy cheap, pay twice - I could not hate this machine any more.

I had suffered for over two summers in the new townhouse the investment firm bought. I had 3 choices, i.e.: Quit, suffer or get my own portable air conditioner. I had been thinking about it from the first summer in townhouse, but could not afford.
My particular little corner of townhouse gets afternoon hot sun, even with blinds closed for within my small space I have too many machines sending out heat, i.e.: postage meter, shredder, water cooler, printer,fax machine and my own beautiful computer. My particular space is always 2 degrees F warmer. But, the real problem was the principals in the upper rooms got cold with too much air conditioning. My collegue and I in the small room in back suffered in the heat. We talked to knowledgable people how to cure, but there was no answer. I just happen to sit at a hot spot.
It is supposedly Spring in Washington, D.C., but believe me I have needed even when air conditioning is allowed in 80 weather. I love my job and now I can do it better because of wonderful personal air conditioner. It is an answer to my prayers. My only fear is if it breaks down.
