Tools and Hardware Reviews of Soleus Air PH4-12R-01 12,000-BTU Evaporative Portable Air Conditioner with Heat Pump and Remote ControlCustomer Review: Beautiful Machine Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased just recently, have used it in May when the weather started out cold then quickly to super hot. Using the heater worked wonders. My personal temp usually runs cold and I'm always trying to stay warm, well with this model I found it wasn't lacking nor did I feel over heated. For the rest of the month when the temps were hot my bedroom of 130 sq. ft was quickly cooled, so much so I had a hard time trying to find a temp where I wouldn't be too cold but I think I'm finally getting the swing of things and found my comfort zone. I still haven't figured out how using this machine equates in my electrical bill since the first 1/2 of month was use of the heater then a/c thereafter, and some days not used at all plus the a/c was used almost all day but once I got that bill it wasn't too high it was $92.00 (1 bdrm in NYC), $50.00 more than usual. Now that the newness has worn off I'm only using it when I can't take the heat at all for June and use my fan other times. I'm using it more like I used my window unit that would cool my whole apartment.
As for the water leakage, it does leak a lot but I did the same as Steve Mokris and propped up the unit on a old unfinished stool cushion someone abandoned from my jr. high school wood working class. :) I have a wash basin that catches the water and I usually empty it about once or twice a day and I don't mind doing that -- I think people are so lazy nowadays with all the modern conveniences that for me getting my butt up and grabbing a basin to empty doesn't bother me. lol
I would have gave a rating of 5 but I'm still unsure of the electricity bill in comparison my 10,000 btu window unit which I'd use July - September and my bill would be $130 - $150/mth for electrical rates of .25 cents an hour for kWh in NYC. Con Ed has raised prices so the rate is probably more like .30 cents per kWh now. This unit is 12/A 1350W. If my electricity bills come in under $100/$120 a month I'll be a happy camper.
I highly recommend this unit it really does a good job of cooling and feels just like a window unit and cools fast. Yes it's heavy but it has two slots on each side to grab hold to and it rolls.
