I have one of these, they are great at keeping an average room cool....

tempting as my over-weight lardy **** always gets too hot in summer. We ain't quite there yet but its heating up that way.

This is a good price tho which makes it hot even tho it keeps ya cool

Can you please tell me how the condense (water tank) is emptied away.

Just a guess but is there a hose that needs to be placed out a nearby window?

Hi Dave.
Just to clarify what I'm asking - It's not the exhaust heat that I'm talking about (which will discharge via a large hose) but the water that's produced by the refrigeration unit. This falls into an inbuilt tank and has to be emptied when full.

The way this is done on my present unit is by removing the tank and emptying it. On some units I've seen the tank cannot be removed and you have to empty it via an inbuilt hose which have been close to the floor. As some of these tanks can hold a lot of liquid, having an emptying hose at virtual floor level can be risky!!

One of the reviewers has answered my question.

Thank you for pointing me in that direction

I find my tank which is drained by a small hose at floor level only needs draining a couple of times an one season.

just to add my 2 pennys worth - at 2500w i think this thing will probably cost 0.7p-0.8p a minute to run.

so you could see your leccy bill go up by 25/35 quid a month with regular use.

i'm just saying this as someone who recently got stung by overusing an electric convection heater over xmas.

however! if we get a consistent month of heat like this i'll eat my hat :-)

This doesn't have a water tank.

This is a proper air con unit, just pop the exhaust hose out a window or door, all of the hot air is then exhausted out and cold air is generated by the unit into the room.

They are generally very good and will cool an average size room.

Although watch your electricity bill !

It does look like a nice piece of kit but I don't know where they get the figure of 8p an hour from. 2500w is a lot of power - my kettle uses 3k and you should see that meter spin when I switch it on. Nevertheless I'm tempted - there's nothing like a cool bedroom on a hot sticky night...

Proper air con has a condense water outlet, those installed in buildings pipe it away, air con in cars drips it out under the car. (look under your car after the air con has been used for half an hour or more).

ermmm do you have this unit?? If it doesn't have a water tank I dunno why it would need this feature....

:
Self-diagnosis capability and water tank full alarm.

To be fair tho a good ebuyer review says they havent needed to empty theirs in 2 years and that the majority of moisture drains out the exhaust hose.
