Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased just recently, have used it in May when the weather started out cold then quickly to super hot.Using the heater worked wonders.My personal temp usually runs cold and I'm always trying to stay warm, well with this model I found it wasn't lacking nor did I feel over heated.For the rest of the month when the temps were hot my bedroom of 130 sq. ft was quickly cooled, so much so I had a hard time trying to find a temp where I wouldn't be too cold but I think I'm finally getting the swing of things and found my comfort zone.I still haven't figured out how using this machine equates in my electrical bill since the first 1/2 of month was use of the heater then a/c thereafter, and some days not used at all plus the a/c was used almost all day but once I got that bill it wasn't too high it was $92.00 (1 bdrm in NYC), $50.00 more than usual.Now that the newness has worn off I'm only using it when I can't take the heat at all for June and use my fan other times.I'm using it more like I used my window unit that would cool my whole apartment.
As for the water leakage, it does leak a lot but I did the same as Steve Mokris and propped up the unit on a old unfinished stool cushion someone abandoned from my jr. high school wood working class. :)I have a wash basin that catches the water and I usually empty it about once or twice a day and I don't mind doing that -- I think people are so lazy nowadays with all the modern conveniences that for me getting my butt up and grabbing a basin to empty doesn't bother me. lol
I would have gave a rating of 5 but I'm still unsure of the electricity bill in comparison my 10,000 btu window unit which I'd use July - September and my bill would be $130 - $150/mth for electrical rates of .25 cents an hour for kWh in NYC.Con Ed has raised prices so the rate is probably more like .30 cents per kWh now.This unit is 12/A 1350W.If my electricity bills come in under $100/$120 a month I'll be a happy camper.
I highly recommend this unit it really does a good job of cooling and feels just like a window unit and cools fast.Yes it's heavy but it has two slots on each side to grab hold to and it rolls.

Product Description:
For exceptional versatility and comfort throughout the year, this four-in-one portable appliance functions as an air conditioner, heater, fan, and dehumidifier. Use it as a 1350-watt air conditioner with 12,000 BTUs of cooling power for staying comfortable in the summer, then in the winter switch over to its 1160-watt heater mode, which uses Heat Pump technology to deliver 12,000 BTUs of heating power. The user-friendly electronic control panel makes it easy to select the mode of operation, the ideal room temperature from 61 to 88 degrees F, and the fan speed--low, medium, or high. A handy remote control comes included, which allows for changing the settings from across the room. The unit can also function as an evaporative dehumidifier, removing up to 60 pints of moisture from the air a day to help maintain ideal comfort levels. Its Auto mode provides added convenience where the unit operates as a heater when the room temperature falls below 68 degrees F, as a dehumidifier when the room temperature sits between 68 and 80 degrees F, and as an air conditioner when the room temperature reaches above 80 degrees F. Other highlights include Sleep mode, a 24-hour automatic on/off programmable timer, optional oscillation, and an easy-access permanent air filter. Best of all, its portable design means there's no need for permanent installation. Simply connect the exhaust hoses to an open window using the included window-exhaust kit. The unit's efficient self-evaporating technology means there's no need to continually drain the unit. In extremely humid conditions, however, condensation may collect in the built-in tank if it can't evaporate fast enough. The compressor will automatically shut-off if the tank reaches capacity, and a "full" indicator will alert users to the need for emptying the tank. Accessories include two exhaust hoses, two hose adapters, two window-kit adapters, a window kit with four sliding panels, two air intake and outlet covers, and an owner's manual. Ideal for the home or office as an air conditioner, heater, fan, and dehumidifier, the appliance measures 18-1/2 by 19 by 32-1/4 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
