1. Initial thoughts
The unit came packaged as if its packaged brand new. This was extremely pleasing as I did by the unit as a refurbished unit on sale. But from my understanding, lotta units that are sold as refurbished could practically be a scratch and dent return or maybe the box was damaged. Whatever the case is, I trust Amazon sell me a good product and they usually follow through pretty well with obvious exceptions to the rule here and there. The unit is a little bit heavy, but any normal woman man of stature could be able to pick this up pretty easily.
2. Setup
Set up is decently easy if you understand really anything mechanically. The directions are pretty good, and clear on what/ what not to do. You may have to finagle the window, slat a little bit to get it to seal correctly, but it does come with foam and beetle tape to ensure you have an airtight seal. Quite literally is “plug-in play.”
3. Usage and performance.
I am in south Florida on the beach. The climate that I’m in is extremely taxing on anything that has to do of cooling such as refrigeration or air conditioning. Normally, the humidity index is around 60 to 70% with an exterior temperature of 95° in the shade. This unit performs extremely well with all that being said and done. Its quiet, and very high-performance and handling heat thermal load.
4. Have a real big question my power bill
obviously, the reason not most people would probably buy one of these either to help with cooling because it’s just hot as heck or because they want to save some money on the power bill instead of running their central air at all times. My power bill went from average of $11 per day down to $5.30 it immediately within the first day of using this unit to call my master bedroom down at nighttime down to 73 to 72° F. This is also running this unit on fan speed high, MODE -COOL. I do believe it’d be a lot more efficient and save you even more power if I was to run it at 74° fan speed on automatic and mode on automatic. Our consumption is somewheres around 400-500w/hr. This is only a FRACTION of what my central air conditioning uses (6,500w/hr.) obviously a split unit or a window unit with the same inverter technology, such as the Midea-U Will be even more efficient than this. But the reality is that it’s going to be a lot more expensive to buy/ install initially. For a four AC that is sub $200, dual tube, and digital inverter scroll compressor… i’m very impressed and very happy.
5. The summary
I would buy this again. This is a great unit to save you power and really icebox your room out. This unit is cheap quiet very powerful and very efficient.
There will always be more efficient alternatives, but in reality, it’s not by much. At least at this point, not enough to offset the cost of buying an entire split unit and then paying someone to install it and then paying someone to wire it up. If you want to save on power, this will cut your power bill in half as long as you don’t run your central air. My Central air conditioner is set at 78F at night.
