[@TheTyrant917]

I was able to purchase one of these from Home Depot recently. I'm NOT affiliated to Toshiba and not paid by them to write any of this. This model is currently out of stock in my area but one or 2 trickles into stock now and then. So far I've owned a Sharp, Toyotomi, and Hisense portable AC. And I have an LG window AC. While the fan noise in all the ACs can be loud at max setting, the fan noise is constant medium pitch noise. Constant noise is easier to tune out so the fan is usually not a problem. The problem is usually the compressor, which has a deep rumble that travels throughout the house. For most AC units, the compressor switches on and off constantly. The compressor has no "medium" or "low" level. The compressor is either full on rumbling or totally off. This is a big annoyance if you're trying to sleep and the compressor switches on and off trying to keep the room at a constant temperature. So here's the subtle thing about THIS Toshiba inverter AC. Although the compressor CAN get pretty loud and rumbly when it's trying to cool a very hot room, this inverter compressor also has the ability to run at a quiet low setting once the room has reached a desired temperature. That means the compressor doesn't click on/off every few minutes while try to keep the room at a constant temperature. The compressor just stays on all the time at a low and quiet setting. And this doesn't disrupt sleep. This is a very good design. The only thing I've noticed about this unit so far is it emits a very high pitched sound that is noticeable to me at low and medium fan setting. It's not noticeable at high fan setting. I'm guessing this high pitched sound will be noticeable to some people but not noticeable to others. So time will tell if is a big problem for most consumers.

[@trilltrey8427]

Yeah I can testify this is true, it shakes the floor when the compressor starts going haha

[@swright5690]

Yeah...inverter tech is a great upgrade.

[@johndeer8379]

Are there any filters besides the big one in the back?

[@twocancan]

thanks for mentioning the high pitched noise! I was wondering if this was a defect worthy of a return or if it was a normal feature/bug

[@lalo360elite]

@@mattricard26 So far it's working good. Cools down my garage and works with no issues. I was skeptical at first too, especially after reading some negative reviews. Honestly tho, I think a lot of people think this will do the job of central a/c. It won't. It's great for what it is but it doesn't replace central. It's great for smaller rooms or garages but I don't recommend for a leaving room or whole house. My advice, spend the money on the bigger one. It will work faster and not as long/hard as the smaller units. The shorter time it needs to run and quicker cool time = the less electricity you use and more places you can use it. Like I said, don't expect central a/c results. It works great, just set it up properly and give it time to do it's job and enjoy. I bought the 550sq ft one and have a two car garage. Works exactly how I thought it would with realistic expectations. And remember winter is coming. Good luck friend! May the gods be with you, the old and the new.

Nice video Would like a demonstration of the heat mode, where does the cold air go

[@TheTyrant917]

I would expect the cold air to go out the exhaust hose...similar to the cooling/AC mode, but functionally opposite.

[@TakeItEazy77]

A heater won't need to exhaust anything. You are directly heating the air unlike an AC which transfers heat from the environment to the compressor which is then cooled by the exhaust.

[@CTSSTC]

To keep the conservation of energy in balance it transfers the cold air to someone on the other side of the world running their AC in cooling mode.

[@LilBoyHexley]

@@TakeItEazy77 It would be exhausting cold air. It runs the heat pump in reverse, and the cold air still needs to be sent back to the outdoors. Without exhaust where would the cold air running over the evaporator go? Back into the house? That'd be a complete waste. A heat pump always requires an inside/outside component for the desired energy transfer.

[@MrModel--CAPTURED-ON-FILM]

@@CTSSTC Is that why I smell Chinese food whenever I turn mine on? Their air is venting into my home?

[@VI5H]

I don't know how but almost my entire life I have lived in houses or apartments with casement windows. I've pretty much only encountered casement windows in the majority of friends and family places I've been.....yet somehow the entire consumer AC industry seems to think 90% of windows come in sliding variety, or maybe that's just the easiest one to cater for . Also this guy looks like he was made in Unreal Engine Metahuman creator .

[@CTSSTC]

Also while on the subject of looks; isn't there snow in the background?! 😂 I mean it does heat too, but the primary use seems to be targeted to AC :P I mean it's probably so bright outside that it's blowing out the white balance and it just looks like snow :|

[@halflifeheroes6471]

The problem with this is that the exhaust fan for the bathroom is just that, only exhaust. Air will sneak into your house from other areas since it can't hold any pressure. So if you dump heat into the bathroom and exhaust it out everything you dump out will be seeped in other areas and possibly leech from your cold bedroom to be pushed out back to the bathroom. Will your bedroom be cool? Yes. Will it theoretically warm up the rest of your house and especially the bathroom? Yep! Not ideal, but it would technically work in a very inefficient way.

The previous system I had was a Whynter portable AC (dual hose) it worked for about 7 years and finally this year started acting up, blowing the circuit when it would start up. When I stumbled upon this AC unit I saw the reviews about how loud it was how people were having nothing but problems but knowing that the internet is usually where people go to complain rather than say how much they like it I decided to give this AC unit a chance so I bought it at Home Depot 3 weeks ago. The apartment we live in is from the 1930s has single pane windows and little to no insulation. I live in Portland and last week we had a crazy heat wave where we got up to 118… The first 3 days the AC unit kept our apartment about 20-30 degrees cooler than outside. The final day when we hit our record of 118º the inside of our apartment got up to 92º. So our apartment was still 26º cooler than outside I consider that a success! As long as it doesn’t get up 95 out this AC unit does a great job keeping the temperature we set it to.

But reading the reviews, I am wondering if I should just return it and not mess with a unit that might not perform the way I am expecting it to. Very disappointed.

This is the exact same unit that Danby and Midea make. These units are louder than the LG LP1419IVSM

[@jdacrazytavares8593]

This unit is very quiet 🤫

[@samsak5869]

I have this same model and it's no louder than a fan on high.

Is the same ac offered by toshiba,midea(midea DUO) and another company called Whynter the whynter model is (ARC-1230WN) same ac same hose design same inverter tech same btu ...etc

Ok, I have a college degree and three advanced degrees, and for the life of me, I can't figure out how to install the little "security bracket." I watched this video hoping to find some guidance, but it look like he's using a DRILL BIT instead of a screwdriver?! And they don't even really show what he's drilling or doing. Can anyone provide any better guidance or suggestions? Thanks!

[@TuBizzleFoRizzle]

@@huitrecoutureObviously not! Thanks for your response, as I hadn’t seen the slightly-more-helpful response that Toshiba had sent.

[@huitrecouture]

@@TuBizzleFoRizzle A drill "bit" is the same as a screw driver for chrissakes. One is mechanized. I was married to a genius like you. "WAS". Past tense. Also, English major it's a drill "DRIVER" not "bit". The key to remembering the terms is to attach the appropriate verbs: a driver bit drives screws, while a drill bit drills holes.

Good day, well, how much does this BMS-IWF032OE module cost and where can I buy it to control the Toshiba RAV SM 806BTP-E which will be cheaper than the TCB-AX-32-E2 IR module and connect it to a Google smart station or BMS-IWF032OE module Thank you

Could you please tell the robot to simply and I do mean simply explain what on earth is "dry" mode? All we need to damn know is if you're using the unit to cool a room which darn hose do we need to input is it the top one or the bottom one? Dude, we are not air conditioning EXPERTS like you make your video user friendly. It's okay that he's an AI robot, but make it simple. Damn dude!

[@toshibalifestyleus5811]

Hello @davidrectorthesinger, when you use the dry mode, it operates as a dehumidifier. In this mode, you need to connect a standard garden hose to the upper drain plug of the unit. When using the cool mode, you have the option to drain the unit manually or continuously. If you choose to drain the unit manually, you will need to open the drain cap at the bottom of the unit, where the water is collected in an internal drain tray. This tray needs to be emptied near a drain hole; once emptied, you must close the drain plug again. Please note that both caps should be closed when draining manually. Alternatively, if you want to drain the unit continuously without emptying the drain tray, you can connect a standard garden hose to the upper plug (the same as in dehumidifier mode). The drain hose should then lead to a drain hole or sink. In this case, you wouldn't need to move the unit to drain it. However, the unit relies on gravity for continuous draining, so the hose must be positioned lower than the unit.

[@davidrectorthesinger]

@@toshibalifestyleus5811 I was sooooooo pissed that u spent so much time explaining how to install the vent. Please understand that, that is not difficult to do. However, not connecting the water hose is critical. Please reconsider making it simple when it comes to the condensation hose. "Ladies and gentleman properly venting the water from the unit critical. To remove condensation water from the unit unplug the upper water vent and make sure that you have a place for the water to go to. Until you know how much water is pulling from the air in the room, I'd recommend placing the hose in a bucket." That first night I used the unit I had a bucket full of water which overflowed onto the floor. I had a six foot by two foot water overflow on the floor. I bought a longer vent tube and inserted out of the window. Dude, it's really important to tell people this. All that time you spent on installing the window vent wasn't as important as properly getting/venting the H20 either into a bucket or out of the house.

I have this unit in my garage in texas and it works decently, as good as I’d expect it to for the price I guess but the remote doesn’t work and the app is absolute garbage made by some copy paste programmer. I expected more documentation and app/wireless functionality for this thinking that they’d provide that because this is somewhat of a name brand but it’s obvious this is a copy paste hack job rebranding of midea bullshit. I paid good money thinking it would be iOT future proofed unit but instead it’s more dumb than my fridge. I hope Toshiba goes out of business because they’ve definitely fallen off the tech loop. Get with the times! I feel like I was baited into buying this
