TOSOT 14,000BTU (9,600 BTU SACC) Smart WiFi Portab

Originally gave a bad reviews. Now I understand it and love it.
New Review:Small, cute design, serves it purposes in the Los Angeles area.I was struggling with making this work, as it would stop and I could not turn it back on. They should mention this in the manual and on the product page, but this unit has a temperature sensor that will makes the unit stop once it reaches the desired temperature, saving energy. Every time you turn the AC on or OFF, it will stop for 3 minutes, to help give longevity to the condenser as well, which I am sure is a good thing.In COOLING MODE, after you reach the desired temperature, it will not turn on again for at least the 3 minutes to save the condenser longevity, and until the temperature rises again. You can either set the temperature lower, or change to DRY MODE to make it run, but remember the DRY MODE is the DEHUMIDIFIER mode, which will create more water.The unit also has the FAN mode, which will only blow the air inside the room.The unit is very symmetrical and small, like all others, it has the standard large hose blowing air outside (I wish they would make a smaller one and sell separately), very clean, and it is obviously noisy, but not like many other units out there.I use for my bedroom, in Los Angeles, and it is honestly enough to cool it very well and VERY quickly. It evaporates the water automatically, so no need to dump it. BUT REMEMBER, I live in Los Angeles, which is not too humid.Over all, I was worried about this, but so far, I love it, really do. It seems to have decent quality, so I hope it lasts for a long time! I will probably only use it for about 1 month out the year and put it away, but so far, I am loving it.Original Review:First of all. This is pretty small, beautiful, but the bad reviews are true.Unit turns off completely every 5 to 10 minutes. Will not turn on again for 20 or 30, no matter what you do. You can plug it off and back on, reset, press all buttons. The compressor will not work again for 20 to 30 minutes. It only works when it wants. It will work for 5 to 10 min, then turn off and will not turn on again for another 30 minutes or so… it varies. Terrible.FAN and DEHUMIDIFIER will work, but NOT the cooling AC. Seems like it is by design. I did not believe it, so I purchased it… but not YOU BELIEVE ME, the 10,000 BTU works this way. Dont make the same mistake I made, dont even try it.

Somewhat fights itself and sucks hot air into room (garage)
I put mine on a shelf, back is 6″ from wall ( duct length, too). Directions say 12″ minimum. Duct gets HOT!!!!! Lower right side of unit gets warm. Garage was 95 this morning. This afternoon, 85 ( unit cycles on/off. Also set at 85). Outside now 105. Remote easy and simple to use. 4 stars because of heat output. Wrapped duct with insulation. Day 2. Duct insulation works great, nice and cool. Used both vehicles, opened door 4 times, outside it’s 115. Garage 95, unit still 85. Hasn’t shut off. Way undersized for intended purpose. Next electric bill will be huge. Update…….. electric bill $150 more for the last months. Look into dual duct systems.

Purchased multiple options
I have purchased the 8k btu for a bedroom and both the 12k btu & 14k btu for the living room.8,000 BTU AC:Works great even with the fan developing a spot without air. My bedroom is about ~125 sqft connected to a ~50 sqft closet that connects to a ~50 sqft bathroom. This cools all of that great, my room gets COLD. I can run it without cycling as long as it’s set to a low setting (61-65°F) or on “dry” mode. Small compared to other machines, easy to move and set up. Nois is as expected, like a loud box fan (I like loud white noise), have not had any leaks or drainage issues.14,000 & 12,000 BTU ACs:Same experience for both, but I had the 14k longer. The pros are the decent size, and the WiFi option is nice.However, both did not cool my space. I used the 14k for longer and If anything, it made my space hotter. My living area is somewhat small. Open living/kitchen & attached den space are all around 350 sqft, this claims to cool 600 at peak. This cycles too often and the compressor is off & blowing hot air for way longer than it is on (attached photos shows how many minutes it’s on vs off). I followed the directions, I made sure everything was how and where it needed to be, I even insulated the hose. Nothing worked. I even tested it on a cool day where the temp was 65° out and it ended up making my space 76°. The cycling is way too big a disturbance to make it functional as an AC even on a cool day in my experience.

This portable AC unit is performing amazingly so far, it’s been running 24 seven for the past two weeks and it’s still icy cold, the compact size is also another really great feature. It’s not big and bulky like some units, it’s a one of the better priced value for your money items that I’ve purchased.

I got it for my small apt 600sq ftI like how it doesn’t take up too much roomeasy to assemblenot loud but definitely not quieter then most AC’s. a little loud for my t.v. room.61degrees feels cool but not cold. 9000btuso far it kept the main room cooler but I haven’t had to long enough to know if it keeps up in hotter weather.
