I have spent many hours doing homework with portable air conditioners. And I have to say that 90% of them really don't match the ad they're trying to sell. When it came to the De'Longhi 14000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner, I read many reviews praising the unit and fewer were dissatisfied with it. I can tell you firsthand that this device is superior to any other brand I have used before. (Top 12 brands in the last 4 years in the workplace) But for best performance you need tube insulation like this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07X85CTPX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00 ?ie=UTF8&psc= 1If you Using insulation reduces the amount of heat that is returned to the room. The temperature of these bare breather hoses is around 100-105°F. With insulation, the temperature is around 70-88°F. (Temperature will vary depending on the weather temperature during use. My testing was done with outside temperatures ranging from 90-103 °F in Oregon) This results in huge savings. I used the device without it and recorded the temperature in the room. At a temperature of 70°F, the unit could support a 300 square meter condominium. ft around 72-75°F but never reached the 70°F it was set for. After the insulation was placed on the duct, it dropped to 70°F in just 10 minutes of operation. This unit will cool approximately 800 square feet of an apartment with very little problem. I placed the remote control in the middle of the living room and the air conditioner is about 30 feet from me. (During these tests we had 5 people in the apartment) It monitors the temperature on the remote control and on the AC unit. It adjusts until the remote sensor reads the temperature you set as ideal. The 74°F setting seems to be the ideal temperature for large areas. It's also not a big power consumption. A bit expensive? Yes. Its worth it? Definitely! Some reviewers may have received a faulty unit, but the one I received works great. I cannot recommend this De'Longhi 14000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner enough. not this company)
