Product Description
Stay COOL and breathe fresher air with our 12,000btu unit. Ideally cools an area up to 400sq.ft. Effectively improves air circulation in poorly ventilated spaces and maximizes energy efficiency. Uses new UL required LCDI plug. Self Evaporating Technology during the cooling or heating process, water is extracted from the air into the unit. Most of this water is then recycled and used to cool the cooling coils and make it run more efficiently, cooling as well as energy. Continuous drainage highly recommended when using Heating mode. Exhaust hose installation required and all standard accessories included.

I've had this A/C for 2 years now and I LOVE IT. We use it during the summers to cool our large master bedroom which is very poorly insulated and has a huge window that faces west. We actually have two units which we use when temperatures are in the upper 90's to low 100's, one in each side of the large 3-paned sliding window. One is sufficient for temps in the upper 80's to lower 90's - two are required if the temp is above 95 outside since all that sun shines right into the window and the insulation of the house is poor. It's nice to know we can be comfortable in our bedroom when the rest of the house is still hot. If I didn't have the units running, my bedroom would easily reach 90+ degrees -this way it stays in the low 70's during the hottest hours of the day.The unit is easy to install into the window (our windows have screens which prevent the foam from falling backwards- without a window screen it would surely fall out - the foam is a bit of a pain but an optional window kit can be purchased which solves the problem of no screens, etc.-this unit works best with sliding windows); I also use duct tape to hold the foam in place; the unit can be rolled from room to room (it would roll more easily on bare floor than carpeting, but it's not that hard); and I love the features: remote control to change the temperature or turn the unit on/off; timer to control when the unit will shut off automatically; and the pleasant sound it makes. It actually lulls me to sleep at night. I use it as a fan, also, on days when it's not as hot - I set the timer and have the fan on with the windows open for a few hours - it then shuts off automatically after we've fallen asleep - we love that!To empty the unit I put a shallow dish (a plastic tray) under the spout in the back and empty the water into the tray and then pour that water into a large bowl. It's no big deal and only takes a couple of minutes. I empty the unit every evening during the summer. I tip the unit back a bit to get all the water out. (Don't forget to replace the stopper and cap - I failed to do that once and had a huge puddle when I ran the unit the next time). After emptying the water out of the unit, I let the fan run for a couple of hours to dry out the unit and prevent any moldy smells (that's the advice Supentown gave me and it has worked). By-the-way, I find Sunpentown a good business with nice and helpful folks. I've ordered an extra part (window kit) and had excellent customer service.We can't get central A/C in this house, so this is the best alternative. I've moved this unit into other rooms, too, and I love the flexibility it affords.This product has been worth every penny to me and I would buy it again.FOLLOW-UP REVEIW 9 July 2011The two units I reviewed 3 years ago (above) that I purchased in 2006 are still working great. I have purchsed 2 additional units this summer and I love them - work great, cool great...I also love Sunpentown customer service. One of the units was damaged in shipping and they sent me another one immediately and paid for the return shipment of the damaged one.

I was so excited to get this unit, we needed it to cool a regular sized bedroom (10x12) on hot days because the windows weren't shaped for a window unit. The cost was steep but we bit the bullet thinking it would be worth it to sleep in a cool room in the summer.We were so wrong. First of all, it is enormous and loud. The hose and window installation kit is flimsy at best and never stays in place, we had to build our own kit. The worst part of the whole thing was that running on full blast, this unit couldn't keep 1 regular room under 85 degrees on a 90 degree day. For $400 (it was more when I bought it), I expect it to not only cool the room, but to do it well and come with a nice venting system for installing to a window.Lastly, I bought this until in June and it didn't even last a year. All of a sudden the A/C function stopped working and only the fan would turn on, which is useless. The have a manufacturer's warranty, but you gotta be kidding if you think someone is going to try shipping that 75lb bulky beast. Don't waste your money, you can buy a nice box fan that will do the same thing for $15.

The other reviewer, Alesia, summed up my experiences to a tee (i.e., abysmal). All I will add is that it does not cool worth a darn. I live in Vancouver, BC - not exactly the AZ desert, and it couldn't cool a small with the outside temperature at 85 F if its life depended on it. And it did...trashed it last week.
