in manual mode it keeps the temp just about where you set it.
even so, i've never had to manually empty the water from this unit.
the manual says, if it has been tilted, you have to wait at least 2 hours to turn it on.
the manual is useless.
pros: no huge window unit to install, cools nicely, attractive unit, remote control, timer cons: loud, bad manual, air only blows left/right, horizontal vent doesn't move, air blows too hard
this portable air conditioner was very easy to set up after glancing at the manual.
unit is furnished with all accessories.instruction manual should be improved.
for side to side adjustment, you have to manually adjust it by going to the unit itself and using your hands to adjust it.
the remote control is very intuitive with clear markings annotating the meaning of the symbols, so any user can use it any time without having to first look for the manual to figure out the meaning
poor manual, description of parts and features.
i re-read the manual a few times to figure out what i was doing wrong.
you can also manually adjust the left/right air flow while the louvers adjust up/down air flow.
side to side adjustment is manual.
many corners cut to reduce cost, like the casters being so under-rated even the manual says not to roll the unit.
noone at the store will tell you this, and i don't even think it's in the user manual, but start off by making sure the compressor lubricant is in the bottom.
oh and something that might be of interest nobody has mentioned .this has both manual and remote controls a big plus if the remote breaks .
the manual lists the following as normal sounds to be expected from this air conditioner: sound of rushing air, high pitched chatter, gurgle/hiss, pinging or swishing and possibly vibration depending
i wish it would automatically turn itself on and off, in economy mode...you have to turn it on manually, and you have a timer to set for auto off!
the manual says it can have that when the compressor is running but this goes on even when the compressor shuts off and just the fan runs.
the manual states that if the unit go on and off quickly to move the temperature sensor away from the cooling coils.
i came looking online for the manual so i can figure out how to use the timers and sleep mode.
as mentioned by the other 1 star people, the instruction manual is the worst i've ever seen in any product i've ever bought.
it is easy to use, but the instruction manual doesn't cover everything.
i can't seem to be able to manually adjust the hi/lo when in ac mode.
the instruction manual lacks detail and explaination.
unit also does not function as indicated in manuals when draining is necessary.
the direction manual isn't as informative as it could be, but there's nothing you can't figure out on your own when using it.
