Did any one of you buy this unit? Or can give me information about how good it is?
I don't want to buy an air con that will not work.
Can't install a permanent one
Cheers.
It looks very similar to one my father bought about three years ago. I think he got it from B&Q. If not them, it was a near competitor. His has worked well since we installed it. Much better than the type that expel hot air through a hose. Do remember that the outside part is very visible and may attract attention. You will need to drill and sleeve a large hole in the wall for the umbilical hose. Don't skimp on the diameter as it makes fitting the hose difficult. You then need to seal the hole around the hose to stop draughts, rodents, etc. Although the two halves are on a quick release connector that self seals, you loose a small amount of refrigerant every time you disconnect. Try to avaiod doing this as much as possible. My father has been pleased with his. No more swealtering hot summer days. He's in his 80's and can't take that too well now.

The part that you snipped stated "Can't install a permanent one" and the link that was supplied leads to a mobile one. It sounds different to what you are describing!
It looks similar to one I have in France, which can pull a room down to around 20C with 35C outside. The umbilical on mine would need a 50mm hole through the wall, so I simply hang it through a part open window. However, the fan is intrusive, especially at night, and I have found that similar comfort levels can be achieved, with less noise, by a slow-running ceiling fan mounted over the bed.

I have a similar sized one (Amcor I think) and it will make the room I used it in "icy" but it is VERY noisy.
