Horrible purchase

 

This ac unit cost a lot of money and it could not even cool a small bedroom. I tried it for 3 weeks and had to get a window unit. There is so much heat from the back of the unit it cancels out the whole ac use. I finally had to buy hot and cold...

Nothing

More heat from back than cool air out of front

The DeLonghi PAC A120E was a good choice

 

I'd like to preface by stating the PAC A120E and the PAC A120EL are identical models. Tech support from the manufacturer told me: "The "L" designates this is a "Lowes" exclusive. Both your owner's and parts manual will work ...

Eco friendly, works well for my needs, good quality, not too expensive

Not Energy Star Compliant. Small hot air exhaust leak from a poor flimsy design

DO BUY THIS ITEM IT DOES WORK

 

Assume that it's been sitting on its side while it was shipped to you, and leave it sitting upright for a day before turning it on. And read the directions.

Blows air. Air cold. Cold good ; My apartment is around 650 sq feet, and it cools my entire apartment very well

The slot that blocks the window is only about 38" or so, and my windows are taller than that. It's not really a problem for me to have a few square inches of open window but I guess some people might have a problem with that ; It's also kind of loud...

technical problems

 

The air conditioner has a nice design but the unit we received did not cool effectively the room. We therefore had to exchange it for another unit and were very disappointed.

worst product, buy be aware

 

Buy from local store and check location of service center.

portable

rotary compressor started making knocking noice after 10 minutes. DeLonghi doesn't have service centre in MA. I will have to drive to Connecticut to drop off the unit and pick up the other day. The $200 saved is not enough to pay for the rental car...

Arrived just before the heat wave!

 

We don\'t normally see temps in the upper 90s in Upstate NY, but we did this week. [...] Our master bedroom is about 300 SF on the second floor, which gets full sun for several hours in the morning. We have 8 foot patio doors to a small deck and two...
