Simply put, based on our independent testing and customer feedback, the EdgeStar Extreme Cool line of portable air conditioners offer the perfect combination of cooling power, quality and style- a combination unmatched by any other unit on the market. We recommend this stylish silver portable air conditioner as the best choice for cooling rooms from up to 425 sq. ft. The EdgeStar AP12000S Portable Air Conditioner combines superior engineering, colder airflow, and a more energy efficient design to be our top cooling choice.
Another great feature of this portable air conditioner is that it is an environmental friendly unit - It meets new RoHS standards. RoHS, also known as the lead-free directive, stands for Restriction of Hazardous Substances. The goal of RoHS is to restrict the amount of certain toxins in electronic and electrical equipment such as lead, mercury, and cadmium. This restriction lessens the harmful impact these toxins can have on the environment and allows for the safer disposal and recycling of electronics and electrical equipment.
Key Features Include:
- Coldest AirFlow of any Unit Tested- Extreme Cool design uses a more efficient compressor than the competition & delivers higher airflow volume. This helps to bring down the temperature of your room faster than other units.
- Self-Evaporative System- This AP12000S offers a new patented Z-Spray auto drain exhaust system that essentially eliminates the need to empty any water from the unit. It also offers a direct drain option that allows you to run the unit 365 days a year without having to empty any water accumulation.
- Cool Boost Technology - Provides a cooling boost that allows the unit to operate more efficiently and lower your energy cost.
- Quiet Operation - Lower operating noise levels than competing units.
- Superior Reliability: Through quality construction and more durable internal components, the AP12000S is designed to last longer and work in more rigorous environments than other brands.
Portable Air Conditioner Product Rating*:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
* This portable air conditioner has achieved our 5 star product rating based on independent testing of its BTU class cooling capacity, durability, and quality of components.
** In high humidity environments there may be some water accumulation. This unit is equipped with a direct drain option for continuous use in this type of environment.
*** All portable air conditioners require that the exhaust hose be vented outside of the room you are trying to cool.

Excellent Unit
"I Bought this unit back in April. I've used it on a few hot days so far and the unit does what it says. It is a little loud, but no louder than my old window unit. I've had to play with the positioning to get the vibration to stop. I have a room that's 400 sq feet, second floor with afternoon sun. Also have a portable fridge, plasma TV and computer with monitor, so I have allot of high heat producing appliances..." Read Full Review »

"Pros. Very satisfied with the unit itself. We haven't had to drain it once, it's not hideous to look at and it does what we bought it for. Cons: the window kit included with the product leaves a little to be desired. The plastic is thin, (thiner than a double pane window) and it seems to me that a little tinkering with the insulation value here could reduce (even if only slightly) how hard the air conditioner ..."

"We have a sun room that BAKES (DC Area) during the summer. Recently our dog started having "accidents" so we put him in the sun room while we go to work. During the summer it can get quite warm. We needed a way to cool the room off or we would not put the dog in there. This a/c unit does the trick! …" Read Full Review »

"This unit has worked great all summer long.

The site says the extender kit works on most Edgestar cooling units, but it didn't even fit …" Read Full Review »
