Soleus MAC-12K Portable Air Conditioner Review Portable? not really

We bought this for our bedroom for the occasional hot and humid night. The first unit arrived with a cracked front panel, so a new one was sent by air-n-water.com.

A joke of a product, a joke of a company

Don't buy this product, don't buy ANYTHING from Soleus. The product: These units have got to be some of the worst manufacturing quality I've seen in a long time. The first one arrived with internal (i.e. not shipping) damage: the swing fins were...

Save yourself the frustration of this product and company

I bought the MAC12k as an HVAC system for a detached 400 sq. ft room. The room is over insulated, shaded, and doesn't get a lot of traffic in and out. It's "rated" at 12000 BTu, which by industry standards, is good for 500 sq. ft. In reality it's...

It's a good concept, but poorly implemented

Very expensive, extremely undependable, poor support, and is incapable of specified

It's OK

This is a four-in-one unit. Heater, A/C unit, De-Humidifier & Fan All in one. Packaging should be better [at least the bottom of the box] and UPS should be a lot more carefull. Make sure the drain plug is pushed in all the way or you will have water...

This Unit deffinately works. It looks good, Very Nice, Easy To Use controll panel with a remote. Very low priced compaired to other brands. Has an oscilating output vent. This also has an Auto setting on the controll unit, if your hoses are conected...

Very Large as specified [32" tall, 18" wide, 19" deep ; Very Noisy but Most A/C units are ; Weighs a ton. Very Poor Packageing. When UPS dropped this off [and literally dropped it] the box came ; apart. There is no bottom to the box, just styrofoam ;...

caveat emptor

Let's be honest - it would have been better if I had taken the money I wasted on these colossal pieces of crap and invested it in Enron. I bought two - I have had both replaced twice via the warranty. Getting them replaced required nearly an act of...

none

heavy, poorly made, break down regularly, they leak water, customer service from hell

Overated BTU's

We attempted to use this unit to cool a small computer room.(10x10x8 insulated)Without any cooling the room would get to about 85 degrees. With the unit set to 68 degrees the best it can do is take the temp down to 77 degrees. Some may say we are...

AVOID

What a huge disappointment. We live on the east coast where the humidity can get ugly and these units simply cannot handle it. Once the internal drip pan is full the compressor shuts off and it goes into "self-evaporative" mode which the manufacturer...

don't waste your money

I didn't buy the soleus mac12K at amazon but rather from a retail outlet here in southern CA. After being disappointed with an earlier purchase that I made online, I decided to go into a brick and mortar store and ask the relevent questions. I was told...
