Heat or cool multiple rooms with the Soleus Air 14,000 BTU portable air conditioner with heat pump technology. This energy efficient multi-season unit utilizes heat pump technology to harvest heat from the air while producing more heat and consuming less energy than other portable heater technologies. Our unique evaporative technology uses the collected moisture to cool the unit before it is eliminated through the exhaust ducts. Along with powerful cooling and heating this unit features a 60 pint evaporative dehumidifier eliminating the need to empty a water bucket. The fully adjustable thermostat and programmable timer automatically power the unit on and off according to the users settings. Built-in memory and loss of power protection allows the users settings to be saved once the unit is programmed. All control settings are on a brilliant easy-to-read multi-color display. Dual hose ventilation kit included. Unit must be vented outside for proper installation.

Product Details Four in one technology - Fan, Heater, Dehumidifier and A/C. No water tank to empty in humid environments. Manual drain may be needed every now and then. Smart chip technology, digital display and remote control. 24 hours programmable timer. Could be used with one or two hoses. When used with one hose, the opening at the back of the unit should be changed for a grill and the intake port should be sealed. 4-in-1 Technology - Our portable room air conditioner combines the function of a window air conditioner, dehumidifier, heater, air cleaner, and fan. Saving your space and energy. Multi-Color VFD Display - Unlike a LED display, a VFD display is an active device providing a brilliant, eye catching glow in a wide spectrum of colors. Generating its own light, a VFD display is brighter than an LED, offers more contrast, and is easier to be read in direct sunlight. No Water Tank to Empty - Includes a built-in 60 pint dehumidifier. The collected moisture is recycled and eliminated through the exhaust duct. For extremely humid conditions, there is an emergency holding tank with a drainage port on back to prevent potential water damage to carpet or floor. Smart Chips Technology - Features digital display on control panel and remote. Computer driven controls give you the ability to program exact setting from the unit or remote. With this feature, you can set the mode, timer, temperature and other setting on the remote, then transmit the information to the unit. 24 Hour Programmable Timer with Memory - Our unit only needs to be programmed once. The system remembers start/stop time, temperature, and other exact setting even if power is interrupted. The adjustable thermostat with a range of 84-90F, lets you select your own personal comfort level for heating or cooling. Energy Efficient Dual Motor Design - One motor delivers cool air while the other motor cools the compressor and condenser. The collected condensation is distributed over the condenser by non-corrosive aluminum fan blades to keep the copper coils cool and the unit more efficient. 3 Speed Fan with Oscillation - Recessed oscillating louvers prevent damage to the unit. The added use of a fan enhances cooling and fanning performance, maximizes energy efficiency, and improves air circulation. The optional single or dual exhaust hose is designed to efficiently cool, heat, or dehumidify any space with no permanent installation. Could be used with one hose and 2 hoses. (When used with one hose the opening at the back of the unit should be changed for a grill and the intake port should be sealed (accessories included).Specifications: Cooling Capacity: 14,000 BTU Heating Capacity: 11,000 BTU Dehumidifying capacity: 65 Pts/Day Power Supply: 115V (60Hz) Cooling/Heating Watts: 1350W Air Flow Volume: 177 CFM Noise Level: < 46 db(A) Model LX140 PLEASE NOTE: This item has been built to U.S. electronics specifications and may need additional modifications or converters to be used in countries other than the U.S. and Canada.

"The unit [...] worked well. It is quieter than I expected (quieter than some window AC units). It has no annoying rattles or vibrations transmitted into room. It has no problem cooling a 270 square foot bedroom with a 11 ft. ceiling, southern exposure, 5x7 foot window. Suggestions for best cooling/efficiency:1. after installing window kit, seal any gaps between the kit and window frame with weather strip or ta..." Read Full Review »

CANNOT HANDLE HUMIDITY AS ADVERTISED

"I had great hopes based on the description but this unit does not perform as described. The item description states: "The advanced design of this portable air conditioner exhausts the water it condenses out of your air, so you don't have to empty an internal bucket all the time!" NOT TRUE AT ALL. The unit stops cooling 15 minutes after starting, showing the little 'reservior' bucket is full. Problem is that ther..." Read Full Review »
