Assembly Not Intuitive - no assembly manual with unit! - Portlander, May 16, 2008
Well, there was not clear instructions. I have extra parts that the instruction sheet never refers to. I have an adjustable "slide" bar that that doesn't adjust or slide. I called the Amcor customer support, and it was clear that the representative knew nothing of the product. They stated it would be 2 business days for a reply. I would expect some manual, and product feedback form, etc. All I received was one sheet......
So, if you are the type of person that gets frustrated trying to put together your childs bike and there are no instructions, you may want to pass on this purchase.
I still have not turned the unit on.

We bought the unit to cool a room in the attic and it works well. Easy to install.

Not as enthusiastic as others - Greg Dempsey, Oct 24, 2007
I can't say I've had as good an experience as others reported here...the main problem I've discovered is that the compressor only cycles on for about seven minutes at a time, followed by fifteen minutes during which the machine simply operates as a fan and blows in hot air from outside. Company info on their web site indicates that this is being done to prevent the compressor from overheating--unfortunately, this results in the compressor remaining cool while my small studio apartment (only 200 sq feet) remains too hot. I don't know if other units have similar limitations, but I would hesitate to recommend this product on the basis of my own experience. Hope this is helpful to anyone looking to make a buying decision...

Lots of Great Features - Jason C. Lengstorf, Aug 20, 2007
I purchased this unit out of desperation in the midst of a heat-wave. I read a lot of reviews and settled on this guy, and I'm not disappointed. My living room isn't huge (approx. 12'x16'), but it cools it down effectively.
The Pros:
- My girlfriend loves the remote. You can change the mode, target temperature, fan speed, and turn it on and off without moving off the couch.
- I like that it shows you the temperature. I also like that it automatically kicks the compressor on and off as needed.
- No buckets to empty.
The Cons:
- When the other reviews talk about the exhaust tube being big, they're lying. It's FREAKIN' HUGE. Think dryer hose.
- There's no way (that I've found, at least) to set it to turn off when it hits the target temperature. I still panic over high energy bills, so it's scary to leave it running all the time. I'd like it a lot more if it would not only kill the compressor, but shut down the whole unit when the room becomes cool enough.
- It's fairly noisy. I don't have a lot of experience with air conditioners, but it's louder than the few units I've been around before. It's not terrible, though, so this is only a half-con. More of a concern, I guess.
- It's not an Energy Star appliance. That was my biggest hesitation point before I ultimately bought this unit.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with my purchase. I might come back and change my tune after I've seen a couple months of energy bills, but last month's only went up marginally. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

portable air conditioner - Paula J. Jacobson, Aug 11, 2007
This unit has been a life saver as I live in a very old home with no central air and only one bedroom window that I hated to block out the light with a regular window unit. The attaching of the hose and window kit was so simple. I put it together after working a twelve hour shift and went to bed for a good night's sleep, finally. I like the way I can roll it into a closet when cooler days are here although the unit is not huge or ugly. The casters were a good idea as well as the nano-mist dispersion of condensation water. One reviewer spoke of it's noisiness. True it is louder than my quiet fan, but since the sound is relatively consistant, I find it helpful to lull me to sleep as I work nights alot and the daily neighborhood noises (traffic, playing children, construction, and lawn mowers) have been a problem in the past. I priced many similar units in stores and on line. This one is priced affordably, looks good and does the job. Get it.
