I'm pretty excited when the a/c was delivered to me, but it turned out to be a disatrous experinnce for me.
I first noticed that the manual was a mess, totally confusing. Later on, I found there were 2 tubes that condensation water may come out, but they didn't say anything in the manual.

Fortunately, I was able to hook it up.

When I turned it on, it said "P1" on the screen, and didn't work.
It took me a while searching online to find out, it indicated the condensation water chamber's full.
I was like, WTH, the water chamber's empty.

It's hot and I was sweating like hell.

I called their customer service, but nobody picked up the phone, although it's still within their working hours (It's like 10 min before they should take off)

Another 20min or so online searching, I sort of learned how it supposed to work. In short, I have to use a spoon to cheat the machine to make it believe the water chamber's empty.

So I finally made it work but it was not as good as I expected. You could keep it on and lower the room for like 2-3 degrees C.

Maybe it deserves 1.5 stars. But I would rate only 1 giving the horrible afternoon experience.

I have a 16x24 workshop. This unit does what I intended. I don't leave it on all the time so it takes a while to cool off on a 90 degree day, and it only cools to about 79. But with a couple of fans to circulate the air, it works fine for me. I imagine if I left it on all the time it would keep the area cooler. For the money, it's a good buy.
