RVI 9000BTU Portable Air Conditioner Review
Pros
Cons
Best Uses
"This unit has a design flaw that makes it inherently short-lived, energy inefficient, and unsuitable for many uses (such as bedrooms). The thermostat is located immediately above the outflow duct for the conditioned (cooled) air. As a result, this unit cycles on and off very frequently.
As the room approaches the temperature desired, the thermostat cools down due to the exiting airflow to a temperature below the temperature of the room and the compressor shuts down. After approximately 30 seconds, the thermostat warms up to room temperature and the compressor comes on again. About 1 minute later, the thermostat cools below room temperature again and the compressor cycles off. This behavior will continue indefinitely, shortening the life of the compressor, reducing the efficiency, and driving anyone who is trying to sleep in the same room crazy. For these reasons, I would not recommend it for anyone, especially those wanting to cool their bedrooms."
