Amcor PLM14000EH 14000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner Review – Beefed Up With Features…READY To Deliver!
With a cooling capability of 14000 BTU, the Amcor PLM14000EH 14000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner is more than ideal for those rooms that are up to 400 square feet. Not to mention it also comes with a 4300 BTU heating capacity along with a patented evaporative booster technology.
Here's how it works: during the cooling process, the water is extracted from the air as it passes through the unit. A large portion of this water works to cool the unit and make it run more efficiently. When the built in water tank is filled up, the compressor stops running...which means the tank should be emptied (through the drain outlet). This makes sure that there are no accidents and your room won't be filled with water!
The portable air conditioner is beefed up with 3 different speeds - two fan, plus one turbo along with a full thermostat control. The Amcor PLM14000EH 14000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner doesn't run short when it comes to convenience features - backlit LCD control panel, remote control for easy operation, and those are just to name a few.
You can choose between continuous operation or go for the programmable timer that you can preset up to 24 hours.
Along with that, the Amcor PLM14000EH 14000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner is also beefed up with washable air filer, an activated carbon filter that helps remove odor, together with a 3M Filtrete filter that removes dust, pollen, bacteria, and everything else in between.
A 64 to 90 degree F thermostat, moisture removal of up to 80 pints a day, easily adjustable louvers that help control air, integrated casters for greater mobility - these are just some of the niceties you would find in the Amcor PLM14000EH 14000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner.
Amcor PLM14000EH 14000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner - Does It Keep You Cool Enough?
I was looking for a powerful air conditioning unit that could cope up with the computer equipments that I have in the office. And I'm glad to say that the Amcor PLM14000EH 14000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner takes care of the task pretty easily. Matter of fact, it is a little too cold in my office now!
As for noise levels, YES, it is a little noisy. BUT that's quite expected when you have a portable air conditioning unit
I wanted a powerful AC unit that could keep up with the computer equipment in my office. The 14,000 BTU handles that load well. It actually gets too cold in my office now for my comfort. It's a little noisy but I expected that in a unit this size. No more than you would expect from any portable AC unit.
There is one feature I'm very happy about (which surprisingly is NOT listed when I made the purchase) - and that's the water line that helps drain the collected humidity right through the exhaust hose.
And to make things even better, it makes mist of the water...evaporating it almost instantly and doesn't leave any water lines outside of my window.
What About The PLM14000EH's Heater?
As for the heating part, I never had the chance to use it BUT it's really nice to know that it's there. The intuitive remote, the nice backlit LCD screen, all of these and more make the Amcor PLM14000EH 14000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner a MUST have!
I'm really happy that I didn't try to save a couple of hundred bucks by going for a lower powered unit. The Amcor PLM14000EH 14000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner is a keeper indeed!
