Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Pros: Unit works well to cool down the air and the noise is tolerable.
Update - I was impressed with customer service: minimal wait on the phone, courteous service and prompt replacement of the broken parts (read "Cons" below).
Cons: unit is made entirely of plastic so it breaks easily. To illustrate this point: while assembling, a plastic clip that holds the hoses to the window vent unit broke off. After 4 uses, my wife noticed that a clip that held one of the hoses to the unit itself had also broken off. Bottom line: it is flimsy.
A second drawback is that the window vent section does not adjust to the size of the window. (A piece that we thought would be used to adjust to window size is actually a piece used for a patio door.)
A third drawback is that the hoses and window vent section are rather unwieldy to handle. Frequently, while trying to place the vents on the window while coupled to the hoses, the hoses come off easily off the unit so it is difficult to adjust everything correctly. And yes, the hoses have to be coupled because it is seemingly impossible to try to put them on after placing the vent section on the window.

Product Description:
Newest addition to SPT's Portable AC family Dual Hose System with Self Evaporating Technology. This 9,000btu, 3 in 1 system provides multi-season comfort. Designed to efficiently cool, dehumidify any space without permanent installation. Effectively improves air circulation in poorly ventilated spaces. Dual hose systems provide fast cooling. With one hose for air intake and the other for air exhaust, there is no negative pressure created inside the room. Self Evaporating Technology during the cooling or heating process, water is extracted from the air into the unit. In Cool mode, most of this water is recycled and used to cool the cooling coils. This creates improved cooling efficiently without adding energy cost. The moisture is then pushed out with the exhaust air, leaving you a virtually no drain unit. In extreme humid conditions, if con densation collects faster than the unit can evaporate, the excess water will collect in the built in tank. When the tank becomes full, compressor will automatically shut off and unit will indicate that drainage is needed. Exhaust hose installation required and all standard accessories included. Included plastic slider kit forms up to 6.75 ft.
