Home Essentials Deluxe 9,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner
|
|
|
This powerful 9,000 BTU air conditioners is portable, has 12 hour programmable timers, and can be moved from room to room easily thanks to 4 sturdy casters. It is easiest to purchase several window kits with the ac unit, which allows for quick placement of the air conditioner in any room in need of cooling. This air conditioner has an electronic touchpad and remote. Air conditioner includes one standard window kit with exhaust hose accessories. Window kit can be cut if needed to have exhaust hose fit most types of windows such as double-hung, casement, sliding, and swing-out windows.
Portable air conditioners are best utilized as spot coolers or as a supplement to central air systems, also for the elderly who cannot lift or install a traditional window air conditioner. Spot coolers do not tear up woodwork or paint with their easy installation, and have vastly improved in effectiveness recently. Spot coolers are a healthier choice for those with allergies and asthma because these units sit indoors, and are not exposed to damp conditions, which can breed mold and mildew inside traditional window air conditioners. If you buy a portable air conditioner, buy the maximum BTU which you can afford.
We also recommend for improving the comfort level in the home, to consider a room dehumidifier.

Our Home Essentials Deluxe Portable Air Conditioners — ideal for someone who...
- Has a small apartment and would like a portable air conditioning unit to cool a 300 sq. ft. room one at a time (sq. ft. can vary based upon ceiling height, number of people in room, etc).
- Has a home with several floors, but the central air conditioning doesn't effectively cool the upper floors.
- Would rather save money overall than turn down the air conditioner thermostat very low.
- Works in an office environment with central air conditioning that is ineffective.
- Becomes overheated at night or gets "hot flashes".
- Has awkward sized windows - whether they are double-hung, casement, sliding, or swing-out, these air conditioners offer an optional window kit that will do the job.
- Wants to avoid the expense of buying several window air conditioners.
- Does not want to empty large water buckets - these cooling systems are self evaporating.
- Does not want to destroy the paintwork or woodwork around a window with an air conditioning unit that must be secured with nails.
- Is tired of back breaking installation each season with air conditioners that require window mounting.

Portable air conditioners are not meant to replace central air conditioning, but like conventional window air conditioners, they are good for spot cooling and they dehumidify the air. The electronic air conditioner was tested in a 1000 sq ft dining room area with 8-foot ceilings. It was used in a room with open doorways which was "window air conditioned" from 2 rooms over, but where the temperature was initially 82°F. The portable air conditioner brought the air temperature down to a comfortable 75°F and maintained that level, while dehumidifying the air.
Pluses:
We found that the best and most unique feature is that this air conditioner is self-evaporating; this means it creates less moisture than other air conditioners in the market and that there is no bucket to drain. There is a shallow excess tray which is included and does need to be drained on occasion depending on use and temperature setting (usually no more than every 15 hours on high setting).
- Easy installation: Compared to installing a cumbersome window air conditioner, this unit's window duct kit was installed with relative ease. The need for drills, screwdrivers, screws and holes in the woodwork were eliminated, a welcome change from traditional window ac units.
- Comfortable, effective cooling: The air conditioner decreased the temperature between 5 to 8%. We were quite comfortable in a 75°F room vs. an originally 82°F room.
- Air conditioner rolls easily and has hand grips: Thanks to 4 casters and hand grips, this ac unit can be stored quite neatly in a closet and wheeled out when needed.
- Self-evaporative dehumidification plus reservoir with auto shutoff and excess tray: We were amazed at how long the air conditioner stayed on - 15 hours without having to unscrew the reservoir cap to empty the water into the tray for removal! This is all thanks to a self-evaporating mechanism which gives off water vapor instead of a lot of condensated water. Water will not run over when reservoir is full, thanks to auto shutoff feature. The excess tray is very light - no need for emptying heavy gallon jugs with these units.
- Quieter than average noise level: The unit was quieter on high speed than a window air conditioner.
- Choose direction of air flow: An adjustable manual louver for directional air flow from air conditioner vents was very convenient, so we could direct a cool burst of air wherever needed.
- Flexible hot air exhaust, allow for easy movement of ac unit: The hot air exhaust hose for the duct kit was expandable and contractible up to 6 ft., allowing movement further away from the wall where it is vented.
- Sturdy, attractive styling with modern, rounded air conditioner housing.
- Versatile window kit which can be cut if needed to fit your particular window.
Minuses:
- It was not obvious at first use that the air conditioner had to be put on "cool mode" to actually blow out cool air. The factory settings are in the "automatic" mode when first putting on the air conditioner, so read the manual carefully and be sure to put the air conditioner on "cool mode".
- The exhaust hose on these units heats up, making it more of a challenge to lower the room temperature by more than 5-8%. If interested in decreasing the heat given off from the hose, the manufacturer recommends using insulated duct tape around the hose to keep the heat in.
- Water drainage in back of air conditioning unit - slightly more awkward than front drainage because you have to move air conditioner away from the wall to access it.
- If the power is cut and then resumes, this unit must be reset once the power resumes due to this electronic air conditioner model's digitization, please allow three to five minutes for the compressor to regain function.
Summary:
It is a real treat not to have to lift and tear up window frames with a traditional window unit. The stretch exhaust hose is a real benefit, because on a hot day, one can roll the air conditioner closer to themselves to cool off for prolonged periods of time without having to stand in front of a window vent.
