Soleus Air MAC-12 12,000 BTU Evaporative Portable AC/Dehumidifier/Heater and Fan with Remote Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I didn't buy the soleus mac12K at amazon but rather from a retail outlet here in southern CA.After being disappointed with an earlier purchase that I made online, I decided to go into a brick and mortar store and ask the relevent questions.

I was told by the salesman that the reason that the previous air conditioner doesn't work was becuase of the single hose exhuast.The soleus, with it's dual hose design and 12000 btu of cooling power would make my 170 sq ft room freeze.That turned out to be an outright lie.

I started out by testing the air conditioner in the living room with a sliding door.The unit worked well for the first few minutes, cooling the room from about 90 to 87 degrees.Then the compressor would stop running and the cooling mode acted like fan mode and started heating the room back to over 90 degrees.I would be able to get the compressor to work again by unplugging the ac plug and then starting the ac again.The same problem repeated.

Then I moved the air conditioner into the kitchen.It was about 95 degrees to begin with and it only got to 92 and did not drop even after an hour. There were no problems here with the compressor turning off for no reason.

Then I moved the air condtioner into the bedroom.It was able to cool the room down only a few degrees.Besides being loud, it also takes up a lot of current, 12A to be exact and 1350W of power.This would repeatedly trip up the circuit breaker if other appliances such as iron or computers were to be used that were on the same circuit.

The air conditioner appeared to work better when the outside temperature was below 80 degrees.But even then, it does not cool the room below 72.But with the outside temperature in the mid to upper 90s, the room would be in the mid to upper 80s.About the only thing that worked as advertised was that there was no bucket to empty.

I ended up returning the unit after a week with a 25% restocking fee.I was offered an exchange but didnt' even bother.

DeLonghi PAC-A130HPE 13,000 BTU Air to Air Portable AC with Heat Pump & R410A Refrigerant Gas Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We purchased this through Amazon after researching other models. DeLonghi has a good reputation for quality products and Amazon for being a reputable dealer.

When our box arrived, the box was damaged. No straps on the package as it should have per the writing on the box.
Upon opening the box, we did find that one side of the unit was not closed completely as though someone had been trying to open the panel on the unit. One of the castor wheels was broken and we were missing the window locking pins. All the other accessories were there. As instructed, we allowed the unit to sit upright for 24 hours before starting it, as we were sure the unit had been on its side during its transport to us.

We followed the instructions in the manual as well as the easy setup card attached to the unit and hooked up the exhaust venting and plugged the unit in to the appropriate outlet. One thing is the unit rolls on castor wheels which was a plus for us but given that one of our wheels was broken it made it a bit difficult rolling it. Very easy set-up. Once the unit started up and we had the A/C mode running you could feel the airflow from 10 feet away. I'm not sure why a previous poster said he/she couldn't feel the cool air as ours was more than adequate using the low speed setting. The remote control that comes with the unit is very convenient. One issue we found was that once you put the batteries in the remote, you need to set the time on it right away. There is no function to reset the time unless you take the batteries out and put them back in again. Just a quirk and not a big deal.

Within 30 minutes we could already feel the coolness in our house. We checked the exhaust to see if it was working properly and it was. Noise level is not intrusive and in fact quieter than most non portable air conditioners that are placed in windows.

One feature we like about this unit is that you do not have to empty any water from the unit until end of season. Filter is washable a big plus. Storage bags for both the unit and the accessories.

We contacted DeLonghi about the missing and broken parts and they are sending them to us. Castor wheel is on backorder so that will take several weeks to get.

Overall, so far we give this a 5 star rating.

Soleus LX-100 10,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner and Dehumidifier with Built-in Heater Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought LX-100 because it has multifunctional features. I tried to use the dehumilifier mode without two hoses connecting to window slot, and it never gets a single drip of water in the tank.Very disappointed!

Heater is claimed to be the most powerful 110 volt heater on the market, but it blows out very little warm air. worst of all, the left side of panel is actually blowing out the COOL AIR!!

Product Description:
Most people turn to central or window ACs to find respite from the summer heat, but such cooling systems tend to be costly to operate. As such, if you only need to cool certain areas of your home, think beyond the traditional central or window unit and look to a portable air conditioner instead. As one of the Soleus's newest product offering, the LX-100 portable AC is the ideal spot cooling solution for small spaces, bedrooms, or offices, but consumes little energy. It provides 10,000 BTUs of cooling in one compact, low-profile unit. Operating at only 46 dB (A), the LX-100 is also quiet and won't disturb your indoor environment. Best of all, auto-evaporative technology means there's little to no water condensation build-up to empty. Also included are a remote control, built-in casters, patented WAVEFLOW® automatic louvers, and timer. Furthermore, unlike other portable ACs which can only cool, the Soleus LX-100 is also multi-functional. The unit can dehumidify up to 50 pints per day, and when not in cooling mode, it can also work as an electric fan. Moreover, the LX-100 also functions as a 1350-watt space heater.

Soleus Air PA1-12R-32, 12,000 BTU Evaporative Portable Air Conditioner, HEPA Air Purifier, 12,000 BTU Heater, Humidifier and Fan, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The mobile home I live in has no heat or AC, so I thought this would be a good way to supply both.Though it was very heavy and hard to move, unless you are on a hard floor where the casters can work, I managed to get it all hooked up.Things went well for the first couple of weeks and then I don't know what happened, but every morning that I use it I find that the little tray that sits underneath the unit and catches the water, when you open the drain plug, is filled to overflowing and I must empty it and wipe up the floor around it.This happens whether I have the little rubber plug they supplied pushed into the hole or I have the screw on plug put on as it seems to leak from underneath the unit itself.I am very happy that I was sort of forced into putting it in a room that had a vinyl floor!
I have tried emptying the accumulated water before retiring and leaving it unemptied - neither works.I called Soleus and was put on hold - they said I was 9th in line and would be on hold for about 11 minutes; about 40 minutes later a man came on to tell me that they would call me back; that was a week ago!I turned the unit over to see if I could gain access to the inside and see what was up, but that didn't work either.
I hesitate to return it as I was barely able to get it from my porch to where I wanted it and I know I couldn't get it into a vehicle to send it back; not to mention that the packaging is gone and that it cost me $60.00 to have it sent and would be near that to return it.I guess I have resigned myself to cleaning up after it each morning.
