I have passed your feedback to our quality control team to ensure that we are producing the best units possible. Please contact us at westinghousevip@wpowereq.com and we will escalate your case to ensure you get the help you need.
This model appears to be several steps above the portables I’ve previously owned. Very compact for its declared capacity, It also brings more than typical functionality , all available by the included remote ( its lcd display, however nice, deserves, and needs, illumination!) People, we’re a fourth of the way through the 21st century. Let’s act like it counts!
I applaud WiFi implementation & don’t mind downloading the app in order to use it, but my affection for opening another account has waned. Requiring one more password to deal with feels like someone is offering to light my candle with a cattle prod! Ultimately, of course, that equates to a nice plus with permanently attached inconvenience.
Finally, and more importantly for the sake of efficiency and performance, it would be great to see some insulating wrap included to encase the flexible heat vent tubing. Unfortunately, it is very inefficient at escorting the heat out the window. Connected to this aspect of air conditioning, we are the lucky to own a very old house in Arizona where houses typically utilized casement windows, not the enviable sliding type that your design seems to accommodate nicely. For future reference, of course, it would be great to see an available alternative that would afford a more complete seal.
Regardless of the minor downsides mentioned, I think we are going to be quite pleased with this air conditioner and the correct choice was made this time!
Sorry, no photos included because this room is not yet ready for prime time.
It works well for a small area such as a bedroom. It took my husband a little while to put small pieces together but was fine. Nice to have a printed instruction manual included. Seems well built.
I bought this to cool my workshop and it works great. My shop is already heated, so I don't need the heat pump option, but the price was better than other similar sized units without heat. It makes my 750sf shop comfortable on 90+ summer days!
