Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Ideal for average-size rooms up to 400 square feet, this portable air conditioner features a 12,000-BTU cooling capacity. During the cooling process, its self evaporating technology extracts water from the air that passes through the unit. Most of this water then works to help cool the machine for more efficient operation. Approximately 65 to 70 percent of water condensed evaporates out with the exhaust air, reducing the hassle of constantly having to empty the water tank. For the small amount of remaining water, the unit provides a built-in water tank with a drain outlet and a water tube. When the tank fills, the compressor stops operating and the power light will flash to indicate that the tank should be emptied.
The air conditioner also comes equipped with two fan speeds for fast or normal cooling, full thermostat control, a digital temperature display, and electronic controls with a handy remote control. Choose between continuous operation or the programmable timer, which can be preset up to 12 hours. Other highlights include a 62- to 90-degree F thermostat, moisture removal of 65 pints per day, a washable air filter, and an activated carbon filter, as well as adjustable louvers to control air flow, built-in casters, and an extendable exhaust hose (up to 5 feet). A window and wall exhaust kit comes included, and the air conditioner must be vented via the included exhaust hose. Please note, if the room has a heat source such as direct sunlight or computer servers, the coverage area may be reduced. Weighing 68 pounds, the air conditioner measures 16 by 15 by 30 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty and a five-year warranty on the compressor.

If you want heat & A/C, be SURE you are getting the 12000EH unit,
By
This review is from: Amcor PLM12000E 12,000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner (Kitchen)
We bought an Amcor 12000EH unit (heat, A/C, dehumidifier and fan) back in April 2006. We were so pleased with its ability to supplement the unreliable cooling and ventilation of the administrative area of our office (4 computers, several printers, huge copier, fax machine, etc. all generating heat around the clock) that we ordered a second unit for my office.
Unfortunately, despite the fact that the description of this unit clearly indicated (and STILL does) that the heater function was included, it was NOT on the unit shipped to us by Target. Their customer service apparently could not adequately comprehend that we want the unit as described (heat, A/C, dehumidifier and fan) and, when we returned the unit, they shipped us an IDENTICAL system in a sooty, dirty box. We canceled our order, returned BOTH units to Target and acquired an Amcor 12000EH elsewhere. As for this 12000EH portable air conditioner with heat, dehumidifier and fan, we are VERY happy with the unit. I would not rely on it to adequately cool a very large space (its suggested for up to 400 square feet), but it is extremely well suited as a supplement for our large space where it will be 66 to 68 degrees one day and 85 degrees the next. During a recent cooling tower malfunction that lasted for several days, the unit had to be DRAINED of collected humidity five times in a little more than 24 hours. HOWEVER, since that HVAC situation was resolved for the building, the humidity levels in here have gone back to normal ranges and we haven't had to drain the unit in the past week or so (which was our experience before the cooling tower situation arose). We got the drop ceiling kit for these two units and both portable AC units are vented into the space above our ceiling. Alternatively, the units include a 5' vent hose and a kit for venting the unit out a nearby window. Overall, we're VERY happy with our units. We don't pay the electric bill in our office, so I can't say what impact they have had on our energy consumption. But I can definitely give these units credit for keeping our "sealed" office (no windows which can be opened) habitable in some pretty icky conditions.

review of portable air conditioner,
By
This review is from: Amcor PLM12000E 12,000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner (Kitchen)
Overall, I can only marginally recommend this product. It certainly does not cool down a 400 square foot room, as it claims. It is probably effective with smaller rooms, however. Also, it is very noisy, and it only seems to become more so the longer you use it. Furthermore, the instructions are not very clear. I still have not figured out how to empty out the water from the unit, and the instructions have been no help. It seems to me that they modify the unit over time, but do not take the time or endure the cost to update the instruction manual. Nevertheless, it does produce cold air, which is far better than circulating warm air with a regular fan. I have the feeling that one is better off spending a little more and getting a better unit.

COOL BREEZE... DON'T KNOW WHY THIS AMCOR MODEL IS TAKING SO MUCH HEAT...,
By Michael P. Naughton "Author of Deathryde: Reb... (Beverly Hills, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Amcor PLM12000E 12,000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner (Kitchen)
I'm not sure why this Amcor Portable Air Conditioner is taking so much heat from reviewers, but I can speak from my personal experience that I have had an Amcor Portable Air Conditioner (the 12000M model) that has been keeping my family cool for over three years... one room at a time. No, you are not going to cool down your 50,000 sq feet mansion, because this unit was not designed for that. I have had rooms that have had challenging window designs where standard window mounted air conditioners were an impossibility, and Amcor offered a solution. Hook-up is a piece of cake. Highly recommend!
