Danby DPAC12010H 12,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner & Heater with Dehumidifier Function

This Danby Portable A.C. Rocks !! All is required is patience to install the product correctly making sure to use insulation ! It cools down a room very quickly on the highest settings. Ex: My bedroom was cooled from 87 to 77 in 30 mins. It is even more efficient when allowed to constantly drain the condensate. The EER on this machine is 9.91 which makes it on par with units of the same BTU production in thru wall and window units. This Danby A.C. unit is way quieter than my 8 year old EnergyStar rated Friedrich 11,500 BTU thru wall A.C. unit it temporarily replaces due to the plug having to be replaced on it. On the highest fan speed with the compressor running, I can hear while talking to another person in the room or on the phone, cell or landline. So, on the lowest Fan speed setting it should not be a problem. Instructions that came with the unit were as thorough you would expect as well as being available online which is a plus because I've misplaced mine already, lol. Controls are on top of the unit so when using the remote control you will have to already know which settings on the unit are in use or you will still have to approach the unit to see what they are set to, and that is really the only con I can think of when referring to this unit. I haven't tested the Heat feature. The fans are quiet enough and powerful. I haven't tried the dehumidifier yet. When running the A.C., it produces significant amounts of condensate quickly which cools the room faster. So, it is required to be consistently emptied or directly drained for constant use of the A.C. or the Dehumidifier. This unit is portable but not portable if know what I mean. It does have handle type grips on the sides of the unit as well as casters which allow for easier portability but, it is far from light to constantly be moving it ! , especially on carpet ! Overall, I am very happy with my decision after many hours of research on the many different portable A.C. units available in the marketplace and would without hesitation recommend this unit. The Danby Premiere Series 4 in 1 Portable Air Conditioner Model #DPAC12010H features a 12,000 BTU 9.91 EER Air Conditioner, a 54 pint removal per day Dehumidifier, a 4800 BTU Heater, a 3 Speed Fan and also has 2 Condensate Drain options to suit your needs and is a quiet unit in my opinion. P.S. For Best performance set-up system to constantly drain condensate and use a additional fan, preferably a ceiling type for proper cooling distribution.
