Portable heat/cool AC
By Jane B. Wright
Be very careful not to tilt unit when transporting it - if tilted it MUST sit for at least two hours before starting it. This unit has worked well continuously for two weeks. I put it on a sill-height table so that the water would drain well and the exhaust tube would be straight. My only complaints are:
1. The fan never goes off no matter what setting it is on (the compressor does go off, but not the fan).
2. When cooling, a lot of heat is generated in the exhaust hose - an insulation sleeve would be nice.
3. The drain tube is way too short.

good.....but
By fuzzyface
The machine was fairly easy to set up, and it does cool the room reasonably well, but I was expecting a heat pump....not so----according to the documentation received with the machine, there is an auxiliary heater, NOT a heat pump. We will see how well this heater works this winter. One other thing....the fan runs continuously, it does not shut off when the compressor kicks off, and it is fairly noisy.

It works all right, but I wish I'd known a few things before purchasing it
By Nina M. Osier
This unit has kept my kitchen down to 77 with its thermostat set on 72 during the summer's first 90-plus days here. Not bad, since I knew I was buying a portable (and therefore less efficient) A/C instead of a window or through-the-wall unit.
The salesman told me it had an internal bucket to collect the water, and that it would shut off automatically when full. He said it didn't have automatic evaporation of the moisture created by cooling and dehumidifying, which is common in modern portable A/C units, but I was fine with having an internal bucket and automatic shutoff. Just like the various dehumidifiers I've owned. However, after I'd paid a separate contractor to bring this very heavy unit to my home (the appliance store considered it "cash and carry" and therefore ineligible for their usual delivery service), I found out that it has no internal bucket. The owner has to attach a garden hose and use an external bucket, which will merrily overflow if the unit is left running with no one at home to empty that bucket as needed. Since the drain hose plug is lower than most windows, putting the hose out the window and letting it drain outside isn't practical unless the A/C unit can be raised off the floor.
The air exhaust hose does just love to come loose, and duct tape is the answer. Also, you'll need to either take the whole hose assembly out of the window so you can shut the window against heavy, wind-driven rain; or you'll need to rig some sort of outside cover for the hose, because that hose leads down into the machine and it's just begging to funnel rain inside.
Overall this unit meets my needs, but it wouldn't if I had hoped to leave it running while away from home for long periods of time. I have no idea why Frigidaire thinks an external drip bucket is a great idea, or why they can't come up with a better air exhaust hose design. From a major brand name, in an expensive machine, I expected better.
