[@MrMrdavis98]

I have to admit it, I do like the sound of that compressor. But I just like the sound of compressors in general. It's a very relaxing sound. I love those window AC units that don't have fans that drown out the compressor sound for that reason. You're right though; no compressor sound is better than those old reciprocating ones....though some rotary compressor sounds I've heard do come close.

[@JordanU]

I agree, this sounds surprisingly nice for what it is. I've heard some rotary compressors with a good sound before, but usually only on vintage machines.

[@Sofia-ib8vv]

The best sounding somewhat modern rotary compressor is the early to mid 2000s R22 Rechi Precisions, IMO

Also I noticed that the curtains and top piece to hold it in the window is backwards.

[@JordanU]

This is in as-found condition, when I strip it apart for cleaning I will reassemble properly.

[@theericfreeze1493]

My friend has the same unit in his bedroom with a China Pride fan motor and a GMCC compressor. His house has a humidity issue also and when it runs it slashes water around in the evaporator coil and if its crazy humid it will mist out water through the vents and then the water will over flow the drain pan and drip outside.

[@JordanU]

I usually drill a hole into the unit to let the water drain out.

[@mainemonty]

Mine stopped cooling well after couple years of light use..cleaned it up...but still not much cooling...the compressor kicks in but not hard anymore...

[@McFall97]

About 2 yrs ago I found a Frigidaire ac that has a bad motor bearing so I replaced that with on I found off of EBay for I think $30. So I offered to put it in the living room instead of my computer room. Still works perfectly 2 years later. Just a few months ago I found a cheaper I’m assuming late 90’s early 2000’s Haier ac that only needed a power switch so I replaced it and keep it in the on position so I can control from my iPhone through a smart outlet I got off of Amazon. So now I have an ac for my computer room and mom has one for her living room👍

I just bought one Walmart, For what I paid, and to cool down a small room (even if its for one season) I will be happy, You what you pay for!!! But this little Arctic King giving me a tad more, What do you expect for $130.00 central air??

[@pimptom8704]

james mattice for the money this units pretty good. If you drill a hole in the bottom for water to drip out and clean it every year it works just fine. I got the same one and I run it pretty much 24/7 during the summer months. I got mine on sale at Walmart during fall for 100 bucks. So for 100 dollars it’s lasted me two years.

[@JordanU]

It's a decent machine for what it is. Some basic maintenance will definitely extend its life.

[@andrewg593]

As much as I don't care for rotary compressors, this one actually sounds pretty decent. We all know this will inevitably leak with it's thin coils and the insane pressures of R410A. Either that, or the compressor will fail. The modern units seem to work while they work, but they fail way too quickly. I'm sure this would cool a lot better if it had R22 in it.

[@JordanU]

I agree, this sounds surprisingly nice for something modern and rotary. It works for now, and it works relatively well too, but unfortunately it probably won't last for long.

[@pimptom8704]

I own this particular unit. The area I live in is very humid is water had a problem collecting in it to the point where it leaked. When cleaning it out. I take the outer casing off when I do. I drilled a hole in the bottom plate for the water to drip out. Aside from that, the thing works fine. At low in a smallish room, it'll keep it at 68 degrees. On the hottest days around 98-100 degrees, it'll keep a place at 73 degrees.

[@JordanU]

It's not a bad machine for what it is. I always drill a hole when servicing units like this. Even if it doesn't leak, the additional moisture in the machine just inhabits mold and rust.

[@pimptom8704]

Jordan U Yeah I really can’t complain about the machine too much. For the price it’s pretty good especially for a small room like my office. So far I’ve used it for 2 years with no issue. I strip and clean it once a year around the beginning of every summer. During the summer months and the beginning of fall I run this machine 24/7. I got mine pretty cheep for around $100 at Walmart during fall. Though I with more units like this came with a drain hole already there.

[@JordanU]

@@pimptom8704I don't think any of these units have drain holes anymore. The theory is for the water to remain in the rear of the unit to help cool the condenser coil. The efficiency gained from having the water there is not worth the negative effects in my opinion.

[@pimptom8704]

Jordan U no they don’t. It’s debatable if a little water helps with cooling the coils but for me normally it just ends up backing up and leaking into the room you want to cool.

[@vacexpert2020]

Sharp had by far the best design with their older units, Haier made some as well, but the Haiers used P.O.S Retchy precision compressors, Sharp exclusively used Matsushita compressors, my old Sharp 6500 BTU unit is a tank, for sure, but it kept a room with a high heat gain cool with ease

[@JordanU]

The old Matsushita compressors were quite good.

[@vacexpert2020]

@@JordanU And those old Sharp machines had upward angled supply vents, Haier had some similar units but the compressors were junk and I think Quasar made some Sharp knockoffs that used no-name Chinese compressors, I'm never getting rid of my old Sharp, nor am I getting rid of my old Whirlpool, it's got angled vents as well, not to mention it's very quiet, the sharp has a noisy compressor, my Wards has a noisy fan, my Kelvinator has a Tecumseh recip that shakes the whole house, and my Frigidaire has bad fan motor bearings, but the motor is riveted together, the whirlpool is the perfect bedroom unit, it takes awhile for the supply air to cool down but you hardly hear the compressor run and with the fan on low you can sleep right underneath it, wish they still made cheap units as good as that Whirlpool

[@vacexpert2020]

@@JordanU More like mid 2000s, the bodystyle like the one I have ran till 2004 I believe, and shortly thereafter they began selling off their shares in compressor makers, which meant they used more Rechi Precision compressors instead of the legendary Embraco units, the Embraco in my Whirlpool is so quiet you don't hear it run, not even outside, the only way I can tell is coil temps and power draw

[@JordanU]

Without having the unit in front of me, I don't know.

[@lukas______]

5000 BTU working 'okay' in double the square footage its rated for is pretty impressive!

[@JordanU]

The size ratings are very much to be taken with a grain of salt. They are a very vague idea at best. There are so many different factors that dictate how much cooling power is needed to regular an area's climate.

[@ArisBuliteanu]

@@JordanU is 12,000 BTU needed for 550 ft.²?

[@JordanU]

@@ArisBuliteanu It's impossible to make an accurate assessment just based on the size of the area. To make a generalization to start with, assuming an 8 foot ceiling, I'd say double the square footage number to get the quantity of BTUs you need. In your case, 550sqft*2=11,000 BTUs, which falls in between the standard sizes of 10,000 BTUs and 12,000 BTUs. More cooling capacity would be needed if you are cooling an area with high heat gain such as a poorly insulated upper level of a house, a room with a lot of south-facing windows, or heat sources like a stove or refrigerator, etc. Less cooling capacity is needed if you have a well insulated home, are cooling an area on a lower floor, or on the north side of the building, etc. It also depends on how cold you want the area to become. The more economical approach would be to get a smaller unit, perhaps an 8,000BTU. Run it at 75-80 degrees, it will remove a lot of humidity and in conjunction with a fan running, many people will be comfortable. If you want it dropped into the 60s, then you're going to need the 12,000 or higher.

[@ArisBuliteanu]

I have a GE AJCQ series built in through the wall air conditioner, it’s an 11,800 BTUs, but I have a 600 square-foot apartment and I have a 200 square-foot living room area! But it goes well

[@fanshvacandmore14]

I actually like the sound these rotary compressors make. I’m glad it has manual controls, but it sucks that pretty much every modern unit has either R-32 or R-410A.

[@JordanU]

From my experience the compressors in units like this are usually nothing to write home about in terms of sound, but this one isn’t bad. I’d never buy a unit with either of those outrageous refrigerants.

[@fanshvacandmore14]

Jordan U I wouldn’t either

[@Sofia-ib8vv]

R22 is the best refrigerant, imo. Of course R12 too but thats of you happen to find a very old unit that still has its charge. R32 just dosen't get very cold and R410A isn't awful but isn't nearly as good as good ol 22 was. I had a 2006 Haier 5200 BTU with R22, and for a modern unit that thing would run mw out of my bedroom, and that was with it installed on the hot part of our old trailer that got the most sun. Lasted up until 2017 when it started to die and that was only because my dad never took it apart and cleaned it each year and the coils got gummed up in it and because the cabinet screws were rusted in place, I couldn't disassemble it to try and save it. Going to try and find another because that was the best modern unit I've ever used. And back then they used to sell them for only $88 at Walmart!

[@fanshvacandmore14]

Brayden D I actually agree. I like R-410A almost as much as I like R-22, because it blows almost as cold and it’s better for the environment. R-32 also gets cold, but the concept of R-32 is really dumb, and it is a flammable refrigerant, so if it falls out of the window, the unit will explode. My GE 5000 BTU has R-32, I would have never gotten an R-32 machine ever, except I thought that it would have R-410A.

[@fanshvacandmore14]

Brayden D I hope you find another Haier!

[@paulg2100]

Bought this for my sons room and I’ve absolutely hated it so far.. it now buzzes when you turn the cool knob to 5 or beyond to kick the compressor on so guess the compressor has failed. It’s maybe a year old and it never cooled his room down too great at all and it’s a small room. I have a Frigidaire in mine and my wife’s bedroom digital version and it’s been t=running about 10 yrs string and still freezes you out.. guess you get what you pay for as with most things. I’ll be getting him a new one shortly

[@JordanU]

Frigidaire used to make a good product, not so much any more. You probably got one of the last reasonable ones they made. All the ones today are junk, if you want something that works well and will last, you need a vintage unit from the 90s or older.

If the compressor is running and the coils have been cleaned and it still doesn't work, there's nothing more to be done within reason. The cost of the refrigerant would probably exceed the cost of the whole machine.

You could easily modify this. Like, make some sort of cover or shroud for the intake on the bottom and the exhaust on the top. It's just sad the Arctic King is more like the Artic Peasant. Because of its poor design and how cheap its made.

When I have quality vintage units I can use, I can't be bothered to do any more with this than jam the piece of cardboard in the register.

You complain that the video has 'babbling' and no detail, yet the comment you just posted has not an iota of substance to it.

STOP showing side panel. Most windows slide side ways. We need top panel that goes on top of an Air Con.. INVENT THEM for crissake !! Vertical windows were invented in the Jurassic era !!

That doesn't make sense.

@@JordanU It's not supposed to. Arctic Kings are known bad units to begin with.

[@fanshvacandmore14]

Arctic kings aren’t bad. Them, along with the other units made by that manufacturer work well for the most part. They’re better than the LG 5,000 btu units

[@psychedelicnarwhal9599]

@@fanshvacandmore14 I've had some more experience with these recently and I do take back the original comment. They're not bad, they just aren't anything special. Just plain and average, which is fine. Still would prefer something else though.
