We have it on top of a bowl so that it can drain and thus stay on. It cools the room well but is more work than we expected. Just know what you are buying-an air conditioner that is not self draining!
During Calif.'s late July, 2006 record-breaking heat wave, I searched in vain for a local appliance store who had portable a/cs in stock. They were selling them as fast as they got them in and I was sweltering day and night with nothing but a box fan blowing 80f+ air on me. In this part of town, NO ONE rents apartments with air conditoning.
Getting the package was a little bit confusing. I recieved multiple emails saying that my order had been processed and such, but I did not receive my tracking number until AFTER the package had already been delivered.
I got this item at BJ's Wholesale for $279. I bought it because of the dehumidifier function and the self evaporation process advertised.
The product arrived on time. I rate the shipping of this product to be a 2. The box was badly damaged and I was skeptical if the air conditioner would work or not due to the condition of the box upon arrival. It was during a time of the weeklong heat wave so I took the chance and accepted the product with damaged packaging.
I love this portable A/C unit! I am in Lodi, California, a place where it gets very very hot in the summer.
I spent a lot of time researching which portable air conditioner to buy for my room. My room is quite large, and this baby is able to cool it down.
I work for the Air Force and due to budget cuts they (Air Force Leadership) has been trying to save money by shutting off A/C in our offices on the weekends and increasing the temp during the work week. Not the best thing to do in west Texas in my opinion.
Okay I haven't had any of the drainage issues, but I live in Southern Cali and the humidity isn't too bad. It was easy to install, if you live in an apartment before you begin also pick up some HVAC duct tape and some weather stripping. Because I have the glass slide windows I wanted to make sure I was keeping the cold air in. We use the AC in our bedroom only approx.
I must resort to building some sort of scaffold to support the unit over a tub. Hardly an ideal solution. This all, I could live with, but the reason I ranked this unit at two stars rather than three, is that the manual is not very helpful in setting the unit up -- and while I generally do not use manuals, it recommended using duct tape to secure the widget to the window to seal out air gaps. Duct tape?
