The first thing I noticed about this is it's weight. It's one thing being told the numerical weight but another thing entirely having to heft the thing about however the packaging makes it easier by once you cut the strapping, you lift the box from the AC, rather than the other way about.
Being in Scotland I haven't actually had to use it much yet but with the limited use I have still had a few hours of usage under my belt and can talk a little about the positives and negatives.
Positives being that it was able to cool one room (with the doors open to other rooms and exhaust not properly fitted out of the window) by 1c in less than an hour.
I have tried both the fan and dehumidifier too and both seem to work well but it was mainly the AC function it was bought for.
It has wheels so can be rolled about easily.
It includes lots of fittings for the exhaust, drainage and a remote control.
Negatives
The weight is a big one, so even though it has wheels, you still have to bodily move it over thresholds etc.
It doesn't come with a detachable water tank to empty when using the dehumidifier. For the AC it says it will use the water collected to cool the unit down but that you will need to empy the inside tank at some point if you live in a humid environment (which Scotland is) and they provide a hose to attach to the machine, however if you're using gravity to empty then you'll need to either take it somewhere it can drain at ground level, or use a relatively shallow tray, with the possibility of spillage. So you couldn't use it solely as a dehumidifier, which is unfortunate for me as I had hoped this unit would let me get rid of my other dehumidifier and be a multifunctional unit for me.
The remote control is basically useless unless you're right next to the unit.
The exhaust hose is quite hard plastic and built like a bendable straw but I had hoped that it would be softer, meaning I could compress it to fit it out of the window and lessen the risk of the hot air coming back in.
ao provided the least expensive option for this which is why I chose them and they lived upto their side of the deal.
