Tools and Hardware Reviews of Amcor AF8000E 8,000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner
Customer Review: Lots of Great Features
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this unit out of desperation in the midst of a heat-wave. I read a lot of reviews and settled on this guy, and I'm not disappointed. My living room isn't huge (approx. 12'x16'), but it cools it down effectively.
The Pros:
- My girlfriend loves the remote. You can change the mode, target temperature, fan speed, and turn it on and off without moving off the couch.
- I like that it shows you the temperature. I also like that it automatically kicks the compressor on and off as needed.
- No buckets to empty.
The Cons:
- When the other reviews talk about the exhaust tube being big, they're lying. It's FREAKIN' HUGE. Think dryer hose.
- There's no way (that I've found, at least) to set it to turn off when it hits the target temperature. I still panic over high energy bills, so it's scary to leave it running all the time. I'd like it a lot more if it would not only kill the compressor, but shut down the whole unit when the room becomes cool enough.
- It's fairly noisy. I don't have a lot of experience with air conditioners, but it's louder than the few units I've been around before. It's not terrible, though, so this is only a half-con. More of a concern, I guess.
- It's not an Energy Star appliance. That was my biggest hesitation point before I ultimately bought this unit.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with my purchase. I might come back and change my tune after I've seen a couple months of energy bills, but last month's only went up marginally. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
