It arrived in a timely fashion. It has only been used for about 4 months so far, so I can't comment about longevity. This is a fantastic air conditioner for small rooms . My husband and I put it in our bedroom (which is 12x14 plus 2 closets we leave open )and he complains it's 'too cold' when... I didn't have a good experience with this unit. After I received it, we installed it just to find it didn't work at all. It turned on, but didn't seem to have any coolant.This helped a family who needed this. Thier house was broken into. Thank you for this amazing offer. Works well in 160 sq ft bedroom in top floor cape that gets very hot with direct sun all day.

Well, I tried it for this summer. I will be selling this on Craigslist next season. It barely gets my daughter's room cold. It works more like a fan than a AC. Defective, Cheap, and only discovered the problem after Amazon return window, so doubly unhappy. Bought 2 and the one i use the least just isnt get cold anymore,what can i do,can i return it and get a new one?Started rattling after about a week of use. You have to set the controls and it will stay on or stay off. The air conditioner worked OK for the first few weeks but stopped cooling after roughly 6 weeks of use. It still blows out cool air but the unit never actually cools the room. This happens with me many times. And people misinterpret it. But then I thought for a while and now think that I should have some unambiguous sentence to convey my message. Could you decrease the AC please? Fifteen minutes later - Hey, it is chilling. Didn't you lower down the AC? It was 22 degrees and I made it 18! Ah, I mean decrease - make it less effective/intensive.

The AC was too much. Does increasing AC (Air Conditioning) means moving the degrees from 18 to 22 or 22 to 18? The former is increase in AC as it's increasing in temperature and the latter one is correct in a way that it increased the intensity (like, increase the volume, it's not audible).home ac parts in orlando fl The problem is of course that we are more used to heating systems than to cooling systems (heating is much easier, and humans have been doing it for tens of thousands of years).window ac unit versus central air And with every heating system, turning up the system means increasing the resulting temperature.ac wall unit efficiency Many A/C systems have a temperature indication, and many even have buttons to increase or decrease the temperature.

So effectively, when you mean "please decrease the effectiveness of the A/C", you are asking someone to press the up-arrow key on the A/C, increasing the temperature. This is an contradictory thing for many people. When I turn up the heating, I increase the temperature. Now you want me to turn up the A/C, then I will likewise increase the temperature. Strictly speaking, your interpretation makes sense (and as a stickler for literal interpretation, I have used it myself!). For most people, however, "turning up" any appliance that controls temperature means adjusting it in such a way that the temperature will increase. There are examples where people mean the opposite of what they really say. Maybe the most common example is the confusing fact that electrical current runs in the opposite direction of the movement of the electrons. With a heating system, an oven, a fan, water flow, etc. to turn up or increase or crank up the setting is unambiguous -- you want more of whatever the thing is doing, which means raising the temperature or flow.
