Amcor Portable Air Conditioner ALD 12000EH Review

I bought the Amcor portable Air Conditioner ALD-12000EH in '06, thinking that it was going to cool the living room comfortably. Boy, was I wrong!! It does NOT meet any of my expectations!!

This unit is no good at all! A worthless piece of junk. For one thing, the condensate pan fills up too fast and shuts the unit down too soon. Another problem with this unit is that even if you DO use the supplied drain hose, I had to prop the unit on top of a milk crate for it to drain the water.

And even then, it made so much water that the roasting pan used to catch the water had ran over and wet up the floor!!! You can't even leave the house or apt with this thing on because it makes water constantly while it is on!! It comes with a remote control though, but the fact of the matter is that as long as this unit is on, you have to babysit with it!!

Like having to constantly change a baby's diaper. Not that I don't like children. I LOVE them!! But it's ridiculous to have to go through the constantly annoying headaches & tribulations associated with trying to use this piece of junk!!

You won't even be able to go to bed with it on!! Because the main issue with this unit is that you'll be constantly dealing with the draining water. It's like changing a baby's diaper all day and all night long!!

And as far as efficiency goes, FORGET IT!!!!! That, along with the hot air it produces, goes out the window!! It DOES have 12,000 BTU's of cooling power, but it means nothing because the room, in and of itself, doesn't get cool at all!!

I sold this unit to the landlord's 13-year-old son. And after a while, HE didn't even like it either!!! He did the same thing that I did - he went out and bought a window unit.

Get a window unit. These piece-of-junk portable units are not worth the investment!! There are better fish out there to fry!! It's best left right where you see it - in the stores or on the websites!!
