- Air Con Maitland
Submitted by: Peter Pantora
Five years ago, the portable air conditioner caught the attention of many consumers. They became interested with this new technology. The promise of convenience, mobility, plug-in, localized cooling action without the need to install anything compelled consumers to know and even purchase the portable air conditioner.
Imagine you can easily move the unit to a wall vent or a window then plug the cord into the power outlet and point the flexible exhaust hose outside. The portable air conditioner is a hassle-free cooling device when or wherever you need it.
If you are interested in buying a portable air conditioner, you can think about the experience of a consumer who bought the Enstar KY-32U and decide later on. The Enstar KY-32U according to some customers who bough this has good points and unexpected downside.
Installation of this portable unit is not as complicated. You just move or roll over the unit into position that is you can open a window than install the exhaust hose as well as the window kit. This is definitely easier than lugging a window air conditioner unit that we use from one level to another.
The Enstar unit is as quiet as the standard dehumidifier but sometimes you may come across with a loud internal buzzing whenever the compressor comes on. Experts blame the internal plastic parts as responsible for that irritating sound. But two wooden wedges, once positioned, can stop the buzz.
Usually, you may be concerned with the cooling power of this moveable air conditioner because it only utilizes a single four-inch hose to shift the heat outdoors. This means the setup of a portable air conditioner is quite different from the standard air conditioner, as a result, the cooling power may not be the same for the two types of air conditioner.
You may also notice that the KY-32U which is rated at 12,000btu/hr may have a similar rating with other standard air conditioners however the performance is different. In this aspect, the KY-32U may fail to deliver and window models may offer so much more despite having the same rating. Regardless of its cooling capacity, portable air conditioners are powerful dehumidifier, you may be surprised at the capacity of portable air conditioners to pull out moisture from the air inside your room.
Anyway, if you are after convenience and dehumidification then having a portable air conditioner is not a bad idea at all. Recently, there were reports of another type of portable air conditioner in which the design or make-up is similar to the standard air conditioner. Probably with this type of portable air conditioner we can expect better cooling performance.
Bottom line is when choosing a portable or a standard air conditioner, knowing what you need from your air conditioner should be prioritized. This means you need to know if you want convenience or cooling power more. Once you have clearly defined what you want out of your unit then you can go ahead and purchase an air conditioner, portable or otherwise.
