Pros: It's a good concept, but poorly implemented. Cons: Very expensive, extremely undependable, poor support, and is incapable of specified performance. Review: I bought the MAC12k?as an HVAC system for a detached 400 sq. ft room.? from Shopping.com We attempted to use this unit to cool a small computer room.(10x10x8 insulated)Without any cooling the room would get to about 85 degrees. With the unit set to 68 degrees the best it can do is take the temp down to 77 degrees. Some may say we are expecting too much from this unit but I owned a 12,000 btu window unit for my home and I can tell you this unit does not put out any where near the same amount of cold air. I can guarantee my old window unit would keep this little room cool(cold). from Amazon.com This continues so often in high humidity that the subsequent cooling is hardly effective. There is no tank to empty (like in a dehumidifier) and the drain port is flush with the bottom of the unit so the only thing onto which you can manually drain it is a cookie sheet. It took MUCH complaining to both the Manufacturer (Soleus) and SELLER (COMPACT APPLIANCE - an online outfit in TEXAS--AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) to get any help. The manufacturer finally sent us a condensation pump (to be applied externally) as part of the warranty. from Amazon.com 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. from Amazon.com It broke down the first week i bought it. It literally stopped working only after a few days. I called soleus and it took them another month to send me a replacement. Guess what. from Amazon.com It broke down the first week i bought it. It literally stopped working only after a few days. I called soleus and it took them another month to send me a replacement. Guess what. from Amazon.com its verrrry quiet! from Amazon.com the bottom line: do yourself a favor and get a simple window unit. from Shopping.com you can get one now and a second later, for less money, and with no moving! from Shopping.com as noisy as a window unit. from Shopping.com
