Outlet Reviews

We bought an Amcor 12000EH unit (heat, A/C, dehumidifier and fan) back in April 2006. We were so pleased with its ability to supplement the unreliable cooling and ventilation of the administrative area of our office (4 computers, several printers, huge copier, fax machine, etc. all generating heat around the clock) that we ordered a second unit for my office.

Unfortunately, despite the fact that the description of this unit clearly indicated (and STILL does) that the heater function was included, it was NOT on the unit shipped to us by Target. Their customer service apparently could not adequately comprehend that we want the unit as described (heat, A/C, dehumidifier and fan) and, when we returned the unit, they shipped us an IDENTICAL system in a sooty, dirty box.

We canceled our order, returned BOTH units to Target and acquired an Amcor 12000EH elsewhere.

As for this 12000EH portable air conditioner with heat, dehumidifier and fan, we are VERY happy with the unit. I would not rely on it to adequately cool a very large space (its suggested for up to 400 square feet), but it is extremely well suited as a supplement for our large space where it will be 66 to 68 degrees one day and 85 degrees the next.

During a recent cooling tower malfunction that lasted for several days, the unit had to be DRAINED of collected humidity five times in a little more than 24 hours. HOWEVER, since that HVAC situation was resolved for the building, the humidity levels in here have gone back to normal ranges and we haven't had to drain the unit in the past week or so (which was our experience before the cooling tower situation arose).

We got the drop ceiling kit for these two units and both portable AC units are vented into the space above our ceiling. Alternatively, the units include a 5' vent hose and a kit for venting the unit out a nearby window.

Overall, we're VERY happy with our units. We don't pay the electric bill in our office, so I can't say what impact they have had on our energy consumption. But I can definitely give these units credit for keeping our "sealed" office (no windows which can be opened) habitable in some pretty icky conditions.

This was supposed to be a new item. It definately wasn't. The Proctor label on the handle was worn and the blades were dirty. I was very disappointed!

The switch doesn't have an on/off feature. You have to hold it on while you're using it. That's not good for people with hand trouble.

Actually carved my turkey very nicely. But the locking mechanism for the blades broke the very first time it was used.

It works perfectly for my use. Good price... good quality. Thank you, Amazon.
