4.0 out of 5 stars Good solid machine for small spaces, May 22, 2009

This review is from: Amcor 12,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner (Electronics)

We bought this unit to cool a computer server room, and it's been very effective.
It's been in continuous operation there for three years and it still blows just as cold as it ever did with temps never above 75 even in 100+ heat.
Granted this unit will not cool down an entire house, but for one small to medium room at a time it's just fine.
Be prepared for allowing for drainage though. Over a two day weekend with 30-40% humidity, this unit puts out about 5 gallons of condensation water, so either arrange for drainage, or expect to swap the tray frequently. The tray is small and kind of a pain when it's full so keep a mop handy.

I also have to second what others have said about noise. When the compressor kicks in it does get fairly loud, so it might not be the best thing for the babys room.

Bottom line, it's not without faults but it's worth the money and it'll last forever.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cools well but noisy, July 7, 2006

Great in what the company says it does, but be prepared for the noise. Most of the noise appears to be produced by the fan which blows very strongly. Inexplicably, it seems there are only two fan settings: stronger and strongest. Engineering to avoid noise producing turbulent flow may also help. The grills of my two units also do not turn down due to poor fitting, either a design flaw or a production error.

On the other hand, customer service is great! The vinyl window kits did not fit my narrow windows, and they quickly sent me the foam ones for free.
