Product Description
This air conditioner not only looks cool - it’s powerful cooling machine. More than that, this is a multi-season air comfort system - Air Conditioner, Heater, Dehumidifier and Fan! The Royal Sovereign ARP-5012XH 12,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner is a vigorous, energy-efficient, state of the art, 4-in-1 air comfort system. Dual Hose Technology will cool the room more quickly and efficiently when compared to conventional designs and the 12,000 BTU Heat Pump will keep you comfortably warm. In addition, the unit can be used as a Fan to circulate air, or a powerful Dehumidifier capable of removing up to 100 pints a day. Thanks to Royal Sovereign’s self-evaporative technology you’ll never have to empty a bucket - the water taken out of the air is vented out the window. And there’s a digital display with a fully adjustable thermostat, 24 hour timer, variable-speed fan controls and adjustable louvers to direct airflow. Built-in EZ-Glide casters and easy set-up (dual hose window ventilation kit included) allows this Portable Air Conditioner to be easily moved from room to room.

I purchased this unit online about 1.5 yrs ago. The sleek design is cool as is the air it produces. The initial setup time was around 30mins (you must assemble the plastic hoses and mounts), but I managed to get it running within 10min this year. The product works as designed and keeps my living room/kitchen at a constant 73 degrees (easily 400sq ft). I have not emptied any water from the drip valve in the rear so maintenance isn't an issue. The system is a bit noisy and definitely heavy (does have wheels) but we are talking 12,000 BTU. I would recommend this product to a friend or family member.

I consult for an association in the DC metro area and the building space they rent shuts off the AC on weekends and week nights. I've installed 5 rack mount servers and their related switches, routers, etc., in their network closet. This is shared with several telecom systems and back up power systems. This technology setup produces incredible dry heat and is torture on the electronics and media. Several times the servers have shut down due to thermal overload.This closet is about 10' square with a 9 foot ceiling. The building's HVAC system is connected to this closet.This unit has kept the closet to the set 76 degrees and only runs when the building's system is on standby as the building keeps the temp at around 74 and this closet has a supply that is wide open.Installing this unit was painless, cut the drop ceiling tile to size, install included drop ceiling vent adapter, connect exhaust hose and plug in the unit. We've yet to trip the 15 amp breaker.I gave this unit only four stars because the condenser fan (made of a reinforced plastic) disintegrated at the end of last year's cooling season. When the association fired up the AC this season they noticed it would only produce cold air for perhaps 2-4 minutes, then cycle to room temperature air.As the case is, Royal Sovereign has just one part listed on its web site for this unit, a $15 replacement condenser fan. Well, today I replaced the fan and it took perhaps an hour. I even removed the 48 blades and assorted other plastic that was once the fan, none were left attached, the squirrel cage was demolished.I could see where someone else might rate this unit a 2 or 3 if their fan catastrophically disintegrated, however, this unit, when running as it did all last season, was more than up to the task. Because other contractors, consultants, and personnel access this closet, I'm not all that uncertain that someone may have bumped roughly into the unit while it was running and caused the damage.As the closet air is dry because of the heat produced by the electronics, I haven't, nor do I expect to, experience any issues with condensation.

While this product did cool my room a bit, it wasn't what I expected.This product is extremely heavy and takes a lot of space. The dual hose window ventilation kit is a piece of junk! I had to use heavy tape just to keep it together. I am returning this product right away.
