Customer Reviews
it's justifiable not good
I was effective through the reviews here and was chosing this unit based on the reviews. Looks like I got the last one and the seller isn't restocking it, doubtlessly for a reason. The unit comes on, then runs for about 10 minutes and then shuts the cooling off, goes back to fan method. I have to turn it off for 15-20 minutes for the compressor to come back on more or less. I am extremely disappointed with it. Not saying that the other reviewers were flop, but I probably got a lemon.
The problem with any Air condition via mail order is the weight and the shipping cost. When I reached the checkout, the huge 399 price had turned into something like 480 with the shipping cost. Now assume I wanted to fix up it and have to ship it somewhere, pay again 70-80 $, probably twice for there and back again? I should have gone to the local Lowes or Sears bank and got one there. I would have paid a slightly higher price but with the extremely high shipping cost, this doesn't purport much, not to mention that any repair for a mailorder AC is basically useless, you may as well buy a new one especially since there's no guarantee that one repair will fix it.
Peradventure I can save somebody from making the same mistake. If you are looking for a portable Air Condition: Go to your local set aside and get it from there. Don't buy via mailorder!
Addendum: I called Edge Star about it. At the second call I got a terribly arrogant guy on the phone who offensively told me my unit was "too big for the room" and that I should buy another unit. Yep, sure after just shelling out 480$ for it I go and buy another one. After me being resolved, he explained to me that the temperature shown on the display isn't the temperature the unit "sees' internally. It has a fall temperature sensor on the coils in a white clip and that sensor tells the unit to box in off because its cold enough while the room really isn't. It's a common problem with oversized units. I learned that later on the internet. The clarification for me is to remove that clip and to lead the sensor outside of the casing. I did that and although the wire is short, the constituent is now running for 20 minutes uninterrupted. He says it would "ruin the unit" though and void the assurance. It's everybody's choice to do something like that, don't say I put you up to this. But for me it's the logical choice. A unit with a shortened lifespan is healthier than one I can't use at all and the warranty is a joke anyway if you have to pay shipping for 70 lbs.
So for me this works which is why I upgrade the rating to 2 stars, but it doesn't justify more in my eyes becasue I had to fiddle to make it work and "voided the warranty" :)

Is cooling my 1100 sq ft condo so far
I researched this offshoot like CRAZY!! My 1972 Central A/C compressor went out and we are approaching summer in FL. There was no fixing it and replacing the compressor would rate around $2k, maybe more because we live in a condo and our outside unit is on the roof. We are not staying in this house crave and so I did not want to drop that kind of money in it. Our association does not allow window units and, while I wouldn't inescapably let that stop me, our windows were not suitable for a heavy unit.
Let me tell you how happy I am that I got this unit. I was with a bun in the oven it to just cool our upstairs and that I would need to get another one for the downstairs. I'm no scientist (actually, I am sort of... Unattached of Science, LOL) but I did remember that hot air rises, so having the unit upstairs and set at a low temperature while also having an oscilating fan in front of it (I keep it anywhere from 72-74) I have been adept to cool the whole house!! Another plus is that I now have a portable A/C that I can take with me when I move. If I need it to cool down the garage, I can. If I need it to imperturbable down a camper, I can. Love it!
If you are looking to buy a portable, definitely get a two hose unit. I will save you nonetheless and tell you that I have read TONS of complaints about every one-hose unit out there. This one cools as close to how a window A/C would and I don't dearth to have it hanging out a window, just the vent. BTW, I had the unit in my room and cooling 20 minutes after I got it in the entry. While I was sweating, getting it out of the box and installed (hey, I'm a big guy, whaddaya want?) my hallway thermometer was 83 degrees. An hour after I started it, we were at 77!!
If anything goes calumniate I will update but for now, this Florida boy is glad he can sleep in a cool house.
P.S. The seller (Compact Relevance) was very quick!! I ordered it on a Monday morning around 5am EST and it was waiting for me at my door that Thursday afternoon with archetype shipping.

Pure little unit
This Piece does pretty well for the price. For those of us with windows that do not fit well with regular AC units, this is a good alternative.
There are three adapter plates that fit together to fill the relaxation of the window opening, it will fill an opening approximately 5 feet high by 8" wide, or an scope 5 feet wide by 8" high.
You attach the hoses to the unit, and then attach the plates to the other end of the hoses.
You manifest your window, then put the plates into the window, and close the window back onto the plates.
There are TWO hoses (about 6" diameter) and the hoses are only about 4 feet hanker. This makes it a bit difficult to place the adapter plates in a window, but it can be done. Also, there is no gasket around the plates which leaves a grudging air gap.
As I use this with my sliding glass door (which is 7 feet tall), I had to fill the 2 foot gap between the top of the plates and the top of my door.
This all works, but leaves me pensive that i could have designed a better hose/plate assembly. The AC unit itself is great.
When the temperature was in the 90's it refrigerated a fairly large room down into the upper 70's, and when the temperature got over 100, this unit frozen the room down enough to be bearable, down to about 86 degrees I think.
All in all I am happy with the AC unit. the hose/laminate assembly leaves something to be desired, or I would have rated this a 5 star.

Very satisfied
Complete, I have been very satisfied with the cooling ability of the unit. Out of the box, it was simple to set up and install, although the included window emanation adapter is not high quality (easy enough to make a solid one yourself). The unit has been working nights with shell temperatures between 80 and 85 and easily brings the indoor temperature of our bedroom down to 68 while the log a few zees Z's of the house is set to 78 on the central AC.
Pros: cost; low noise; dual hose in point of fact eliminates the need to drain the unit; cooling ability.
Cons: poor window adapter
