Pretty good but thermostat function is frustrating
I have owned/own two other air conditioning units and have had some lick with only one of them so I really shopped around before I had decided o the Honeywell 10,000 BTU portable air conditioner. I do not like to see a window unit for the remaining 7 months of weather when i do not use an air conditioner so the portable air conditioner works out well for me. I really don't seee why people complain about the bulkiness or the cosmetic appearance of any portable air conditoner when a window unit is 365 days a year ugly. Anyway, I purchased from good reviews on this unit. I would like to emphasize that the set up is a breeze on these portable air conditioners but the collar that attaches the hose to the window always needs window insulation and duct tape. So I have a 12 x 12 room with standard ceiling heigth. The unit takes a bit of time to cool the room, maybe about 20 minutes, but what is really frustrating is that, after setting te unit to my desired temperature, it naturally returns to the room temperature. During the course of cooling but it never seems to drop down to what i want. Idealistically, I would at least opt for a constant 70 degrees, but it doesn't ever seem to make it that low (as if I am expecting too much?). It seems to default to somewhere between 72-76 degrees no matter how man times I attempt to reset the thermostat. And Yes, i do keep the bedroom door closed. I thought there was something wrong with the unit , but i have experienced the same with the Amcor that i have and it is explained in the owner's manual that the thermostat will go back to what the room temperature is at that moment.
I can recommend this product because it keeps the air dry and I have not needed to empty any water out of it. It is quiet - a white noise quiet- that makes it easy to run during the night, and Honeywell is a reputable brand that has been in business for aa long time, so I hope they still know what they are doing. .
