Do not buy this product. Went through 3 replacements for temperature sensor inaccuracy, with no fix. Returned it.

Sorry to hear that

[@_Spacecraft]

This seems to be more of a design flaw than a defect. Some reviewers I've watched all said the same thing, it reports the temperature as lower than it really is so it turns off too soon. They all had to set the temp target lower as a workaround.

Someone on "CheapRVliving" wrote: I installed a walmart Keystone energy star 5,000 btu window ac in my van and it works great from my Bluetti AC200P and 720 watts of solar. It only draws 360-380 watts when the compressor is running, and 60 watts when it switches to just the fan. In eco mode, the compressor does not run much at all, and my hightop conversion van is ice cold. I paid $200, and I have been on the road full time almost a year with no issues thus far.

[@AndyEntrepreneur]

You can convert your portable airco by placing an cardbordbox with an 150 MM tube adjusted on it and place it on the bottom where the airco sucks the air in. Move the 150 mm tube to outside and it sucks the inlet air from outside, this airco in he video is basicly that same principle. I use this trick on my portable 7000 Btu portable airco for 5 summers and it works like a charm.

[@dubmob151]

No claims of BTU at all with this? So is it maybe 1000 BTU?

Lately they are including the ‘car kit’ for free with it.

@@vallehv10011I believe it’s actually around 700 when it at max. Eco mode is 300 and doesn’t do much except when it’s not really needed.

[@GMC-qo9xi]

For a house or shed, then yes. This is for portability. People use them in their camper van, or for camping in various situations and for very small spaces… and specifically can hook to an ecoflow power station and run off DC-which makes it more efficient… non EF power station will only connect to it by AC (alternating current). And this a/c can be connected to solar panels when equipped with the battery. (And it can be used inversely for heat.) So it’s a niche product, not going to suit those who could instead use a window unit.

[@kramchancel1266]

Why is the exhaust and intake in the same area??? Lmao you are basically taking in the same hot air

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

Tent setup, think about it

[@dubmob151]

That's how all dual hose air conditioners do it, even though it's sub optimal. People buying them wouldn't want to put up with 20 foot hoses to run to another window for separation. Even at it is the two hoses is a mess taking up way too much space. Regular window units are much better; portable AC units using hoses are only for situations where there's no option for anything else.

[@LawnWrangler323]

Did it work?

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

yes

[@joepublic6256]

For a bedroom?

[@gconol]

hmmm, 300 watts of cooling power seems like a drop in the bucket trying to cool a tent. This is more suitable for under the blanket cooling. The human body produces about 100 watts of heat already. Plus, it also needs to cool down the area in the tent, so it's like an uphill battle with a tiny device.

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

It works. 100w human heat doesn’t make sense.

[@gconol]

@@ToolsElectroDIY On average, the human body produces 100w of heat. It produces over 300w of it during high activities like sports....... If you're confused about using watts, then you can convert it to Joules. The units are different but they're all measures of energy.

[@kritsadventures]

I've said before, this might keep you reasonably cool inside a closet. It won't cool a room on a hot day.

[@dubmob151]

BTU is more representative of heat energy than a watt, so saying it in terms of BTU/hour would be more accurate. 1 BTU = 0.293 W

[@dubmob151]

A person emits heat energy in various amounts depending on their activity level. Here are some approximate values: - Relaxing (sitting or lying down): - 100-150 watts (approximately 340-510 BTUs per hour) - Light activity (walking, light exercise): - 200-300 watts (approximately 680-1020 BTUs per hour) - Moderate activity (jogging, cycling, swimming): - 400-600 watts (approximately 1360-2040 BTUs per hour) - Intensive activity (high-intensity exercise): - 800-1200 watts (approximately 2720-4080 BTUs per hour) Keep in mind that these values are approximate and can vary depending on individual factors such as body size, age, and gender. Additionally, these values represent the total energy expenditure, not just the heat energy emitted. It's worth noting that the human body emits heat energy through various means, including: - Radiation (infrared heat) - Convection (heat transfer through air movement) - Evaporation (sweat evaporation) - Respiration (heat transfer through breathing) These values are useful in various applications, such as heating and cooling system design, and human thermal comfort analysis.

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

No idea

[@dubmob151]

A thermometer might be a good thing to try to acquire to enable more extensive data gathering. They're commonly used at many scientific research facilities to measure temperatures of air and objects under evaluation, and are fairly cost effective means to determine capabilities of heating and cooling devices. Well worth the investment; they're very useful for individuals interested in objective measurements in addition to opinions and hearsay.

[@dontbestupid6664]

Why is the device that is generating heat inside the building? That should be outside and one tube running in. That machine is cooling off the heat it is creating in the room. Heck, even a PC can heat up a room. Imagine what a heat pump would do.

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

in the tent setup, it's like that.

[@Grunttamer]

The heat is being transferred to the exhaust air. It’s not perfectly efficient obviously but it’s a portable unit that should probably be protected from weather

[@mattdauph]

@@Grunttamer either way, you dont want the intake outside. constantly cooling the humid and hot outside air is significantly less efficient than cycling the cooler air back through the machine as it cools the room.

[@dubmob151]

​@@mattdauphpresumably the design uses the outside air only to cool the condenser and then sends the heated air back out through the other hose, not into the room. That's the concept anyway, how well they actually keep the condenser and evaporator sections isolated is questionable.
