6000 BTU (SACC) Portable Air Conditioner with Fan and Dehumidifier

Where a 250 sq ft machine belongs

27.5 inches tall on a 13.5 by 12 inch base, which fits beside a desk or at the end of a bed. The rated coverage is one room: a bedroom, a kitchen, a home office. Cool air does not carry through a doorway, so close the door.

Six controls and a unit switch

Timer, fan speed, water full alarm, sleep, mode and the temperature display. Pressing the up and down arrows together switches the readout between Celsius and Fahrenheit, which is worth knowing on a machine built for a Fahrenheit market.

How sleep mode behaves overnight

The set temperature rises 1.8 F every two hours and the fan is held at low speed only. On the scale in this photo, 52 dB sits between a library at 50 dB and conversation at 60 dB. The 1 to 24 hour timer can shut it down entirely.

The seasonally adjusted figure, matched by the maker to 250 sq ft of coverage.

A high dehumidifying rate for this capacity, useful in a damp basement.

Long enough to reach a floor drain rather than a tray beside the machine.

The unit warns and stops before condensate can escape onto the floor.

Press the up and down arrows together to switch between the two.

115V, 60Hz on a 6 ft cord. An ordinary Canadian wall socket runs it.

Ships from a Canadian warehouse. Free shipping on orders over $150. Some remote areas, PO boxes and surcharge regions may be excluded or charged extra.

Return within 14 days of purchase, unused, in original condition and packaging.

Covered directly by the manufacturer under their warranty terms for material and manufacturing defects.

The capacity on the front of this listing is already the seasonally adjusted one, so there is no upward surprise.

51 pints a day and a 9.8 ft drain pipe that reaches a floor drain.

Sleep mode holds the fan at low speed and eases the set point up every two hours.

Why does this one quote SACC and others quote ASHRAE?

Because SACC is the seasonally adjusted rating that reflects real cooling season conditions, and it is generally lower than the ASHRAE laboratory figure for the same machine. Quoting it up front is the more conservative choice, and it is the number the 250 sq ft coverage is based on.

How does sleep mode differ from just turning the fan down?

The set temperature climbs 1.8 F every two hours as well, and the fan is locked to low speed. That matches a room and a sleeping body both cooling through the night, so the compressor runs less without anyone waking up cold.

Will the window kit fit my window?

It covers openings from 25 to 50 inches on sliding windows, which is a wider range than most. Crank out casement windows still need a panel cut to the opening, because a sliding kit cannot seal against that frame.

How often will I need to empty it?

With the 9.8 ft drain pipe fitted, never: the condensate runs away continuously. Without it, the water full alarm tells you when to drain, and how often depends entirely on how humid the room is.
