Customer Reviews
Immense heater
The range part of this product works great (that's really what I got it for). Haven't needed the air conditioner yet. The item heats a building that is 280 sq. feet. the outside of the unit stays cool to the adjoin. I love the timer!
I would recommend this product.

Loyal, but READ THIS for caveats
We red-hot in the arid eastern portion of L.A., so things like very high humidity are not a concern. We bought this for our remodeled and, most importantly, re-insulated garage (exemplary with ceiling and insulated door). The garage was unbearable 8-10 months a year due to stimulate or cold. The new insulation keeps the temperature fairly consistent. For instance, for over a week we've had temps that migrate from 36 to 58 and the garage temperature has kept in the upper-50's overnight.
This section is GREAT at making a ten-degree change in heat or cooling and I have no complaints about its functioning. There are two foremost things to bear in mind however.
FIRST - AMCOR has packaged this VERY poorly. The Styrofoam on the bottom is about a half-inch too sandbank. Thus, in shipping it compresses, exposing the light, plastic casters on the bottom to the full brunt of bumps and bangs during over. We bought three of these before we got one that wasn't destroyed (casters shattered and the bottom pressed in). AMAZON was VERY virtuousness about handling the returns. Just make sure you have it delivered where it's going to be installed, because that's where they'll pick it up. Otherwise you'll have to lug it to a UPS Accumulation (I'm 6'2", 230 pounds and in good shape and it was tough for me). Also, try to order it at the BEGINNING of your honesty card cycle, as they post return credits fairly quickly - all three purchases and two returns were on the same report for us. Also, if you're a PRIME member, consider the $4 extra for express shipping.
SECOND - AMCOR was in agitate when I bought this in October. They have closed their technical support phone number and web help. You are formerly larboard with just a generic e-mail address which promises that a member of management while get back to you. I wrote to them about the defeated cord holder (no big deal), right away, and two months later I've heard nothing from them - I sustained ago stopped holding my breath.
In summary, AMAZON offers excellent customer utility. AMCOR does not.

Loiter AWAY from AMCOR and Their Products.
The Segment is JUNK. The customer service is THE PITS.
When the AC works, the unit is LOUD but cools as advertised.
But my entity (as did apparently several other customers' units) failed (the compressor) before it reached 40 hours of use. When I called AMCOR for a warranty replacement I got a customer service voice recording saying someone would call me back within three proprietorship days. And that's exactly how long they took to call me back to see what was wrong. What?!
Then, they charged me a hundred bucks for shipping. Jettison product with poor customer service and ridiculous warranty terms = AVOID AMCOR.

Amcor transportable A/C with heater
Purchased a PLM14000-BTU A/C torridity unit.
The A/C compressor did not come on.(no cold air) Called Amcor and was told there was nothing wrong with it. "Turn it on and sit tight for ten minutes" and it would come on. After several ten minute tries, it still did not work.
After three calls to Amcor customer service, I received a if it happens ID number and was told that they would ship me a new one the next day. Ten days later, still no A/C
I called again,and was told that it was not shipped but they did not separate why.They would look into it and let me know.A week later, still no responce from Amcor!
Called (6th time)after four weeks and was told they still didn't recall why it has not been shiped
At this time, I do not want the unit nor do I want to do any business with Amcor.

An Odd Crouch
Entire, I've been pleased with the performance of my Amcor unit. It cools and heats as advertised. I've used it for about three weeks now, and so far I place of safety't had any of the problems reported by some of the other reviewers. I use a ceiling fan, in addition, to distribute the cool air more evenly, and I tout the procedure unless you want only spot-cooling.
While the unit performs its essential functions of heating and cooling very well, there are some serious concrete constraints that might affect your decision to select this unit. First and possibly foremost, is the location of the hot air clean tube: Rather than exiting form the side, it exits from the back of the unit, so its back cannot be placed any closer than about six inches from a try. The six inch diameter exhaust tube is six feet long, so the unit must be less than six feet from a window - quite closer to four feet, if your window sill is a typical three feet from the floor. The right side of the portion is the air intake side, which needs some clearance for the unit to work properly. The air outlet vent, which is on top of the portion, can be adjusted through a 90 degree range from straight up to straight out to the front, but it does not adjust horizontally. And, of practice, an electrical outlet is required. There is a six foot electrical cord on the unit. In summary, you stress a window, a near-by electrical outlet, and enough space to accommodate the unit's stringent positioning requirements.
The component is on wheels and thus can be moved, but considering its weight and the foregoing constraints, it's not a likely choice if you desire to take it with you from room to room on a regular basis.
