Newest addition to SPT's Portable AC family Dual Hose System with Self-Evaporating Technology. This 11,000btu, 3 in 1 system provides multi season comfort. Designed to efficiently cool and 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 process, water is extracted from the air into the unit. 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 condensation 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.

Review the right item! Oct 18, 2009 By S. Sparrow
Its two years since I purchased this and happened upon this link today. I remember doing a great amount of research when I bought this unit. It is NOT like the one being reviewed with 2 stars.

One key point - it has two hoses - input and output (not one like many units out there). It's very good at evaporating the water it takes out of the room (the two hoses are supposedly responsible for this efficiency). I have yet to empty the tank. The unit comes with a window package that holds the tubes in place (its made of heavy duty plastic).

As to moving it around, no big problems - it is a beast to move on the stairs, but ..... its an air conditioner, not a fan.

I normally use it to cool down a 20x20 room (9 foot ceilings). It does take longer than I'd like, but if it's a humid night, it gets the room in a "sleepable" condition in about 1 hour.

The reason for not giving it 5 stars is that the remote control gives you options that you can't get from the panel. If you lose the remote, you lose the functionality (there may be a secret set of buttons you push to get the function, I haven't figure them out yet). The manufacturer's site is lacking in docs.

Great A/C Sep 07, 2008 By catchthestoke
I bought this AC after reading the 2 star review and I am very glad I did. I live in the college dorms and this AC does an excellent job cooling my room and I have not experienced any of the concerns posted by the other reviewer. I've got a few other friends with Portable A/C units and none work as well as this one.

The wheels roll fine on the dorm room carpet, I've had this A/C for over a month and have yet to empty the water tank, and this A/C gets my room as cold as I could ever want it, and could get it even colder if I so desired.

I got this unit on sale for ~$230 and this has been a great investment.

Leaks Water Aug 01, 2011 By Trend "jewelry nut"
My unit had great cooling abilities. It was able to easily cool my living and dining rooms, but it leaked water all over the floor. Initially, the leakage started about hour into operating and it really leaked after I turned it off. It seemed to release all water the tank may have held. It just drained onto my floor.

This unit is supposed to have a built in reservoir tank for holding water. The compressor is supposed to shut down when tank is full and a indicator light is supposed to come on to alert that tank needs drainage. I never had a problem with water leaking from the drain plug. The leakage had nothing to do with the water removal hose. It was leaking underneath.

It may have been damaged in transport or it may just be a faulty unit. I really don't know. The reservoir tank is built into the unit and cannot be seen. I had no desire to pull out a screw driver and take it apart. It is possible it was cracked, but it's also possible it's poorly made. Either way, a real disappointment. It was very effective in cooling. I wasn't inclined to try a replacement, instead I purchased a window unit. One other thing, the dual hoses are expandable, but if you expand in an effort to move unit away from window, the intake and exhaust hoses pop out. The don't lock into place well.

pleased Jul 29, 2010 By bob
Price is good, Delivery was good, After 2 weeks of use--the unit is running very good so-far.
The best part about the unit is---it's the only model/company that has an AC that will turn itself back on after a power-outage!!
Here in Los Angeles, we have many power outages every summer.
I looked high and low and the SPT is the only unit offering this feature.

Plus***the sales dept./salesman, Mr. Wyn at SPT is VERY helpful, extremely knowledgable and customer satisfaction oriented.

I give their customer service/sales an A++, and their AC unit an A+.

Enjoy

Dead on arrival May 20, 2012 By migit
Pros:
-It arrived in great packaging. I was actually impressed with this aspect of it.
-Amazon's great customer service let me return the defective unit free of charge. They paid for shipping and no restocking fee.

Cons:
-Short version: Dead on arrival.
-Product was greasy to touch and had black smudges all over it (I saw another review which stated this too). Even after wiping it down, it was still greasy...
-The product was leaking oil all over the place. On the air conditioner's bottom foam padding, there was oil all over the place (aka, it was leaking inside the packaging before it I unpacked it). I didn't notice this right away, so I took the thing out and started setting it up. When I moved it, I saw a bunch of oil on my rug and put some cardboard under it. 5 minutes later, parts of the cardboard were saturated with oil. I think part of the packaging was slowing the rate at which the oil flowed out of it. I figured I'd give it a shot anyways, so I plugged it in and gave it a whirl. As soon as the part which cools the air turned on, it just kept getting louder and louder until I turned it off in fear of it melting down/blowing up/setting fire. It was REALLY loud, and I'm guessing this was because all the oil that was supposed to be inside it is now in my rug.
