Amcor PLM14000E Portable Air Conditioner

 

The Portable Polar Express

Overall, I thought this portable air conditioner deserved a round of applause. It's really a well designed product and doesn't look bad at all in the corner of a room. Although it's a little loud and weighs in at around 75 lbs., I would recommend this...

Good A/C Unit

 

Good A/C Unit

I've used this A/C unit for 3 years. Other reviewers complain that it trips the circuit breaker. It's never done to me ever. Never tripped it's own built in circuit breaker, never tripped the building's breaker. I'll turn it on at 8am and off at...

Great A/C

 

Great A/C

I have used this A/C for one year, and I love it. If there is too much humidity, then the A/C will turn off. After I emptied the water tray; it works perfectly. I have had to empty the water about four times over the last year, so it is a great product!

Very bad unit and customer service. Do not buy anything from AMCOR

 

Very bad unit and customer service. Do not buy anything from AMCOR

Not good

 

Not good

We ordered this back in 2006 and didn't have luck with the unit either. One key thing that made the decision on not to use this unit was that it made our aluminum window frames hot. Not sure what this would do to our house we decided to send it back....

AMCOR PLM14000E 14000 BTU Air Conditioner Silver

 

This particular unit uses 10 amps so if you plug it into a 10 amp outlet you're obviously going to trip your breaker once the compressor turns on. This also pushes air out without bringing air in and thus creates a vacuum in the room it is placed--It's...

Easy setup. Cools my room down. Fits in my large window. Rarely (every couple of weeks) need to drain mine. The bright backlit LCD turns off. I have one of the 10,000 BTU Amcor units that I bought somewhere else that ships direct from the manufacturer...

Remote doesn't work. I haven't contacted the manufacturer yet because I really don't care. A two hose system (air in and air out) would probably have been more efficient. Doesn't make me breakfast in the morning

Third and final, blew circuit breaker

 

Newegg is awesome. When there's a problem, they ask how "can we help?". They don't give me the runaround. They went above and beyond my expectations. I continue to shop Newegg.

It cools.

3 units failed. My final unit started blowing the circuit breaker. It was returned.

Product Specifications

The Amcor PLM14000E portable air conditioner is designed to condition an average-sized room up to 400 sq. ft. Patented Evaporative Booster Technology - During the cooling process, water is extracted from the air as it passes through the unit. Most of this water is used to cool the unit and make it run more efficiently. This unit has a built-in water tank (not removable) with a drain outlet. When the tank fills, the compressor stops running. This indicates that the tank should be emptied. Included with the unit is a window mounted exhaust kit. AC must be vented via exhaust hose and window kit (included). If your room has a heat source such as direct sunlight or computer servers, the AC coverage area may be reduced.
