HOTPOINT 10000 BTU COOLING ONLY PORTABLE AIR-CONDITIONER

Model: MAC100

On offer today is Hotpoint 10000 BTU portable air conditioner. Comming with modern style design, light weight that is easy to move (up stairs etc). No water tank to have to keep emptying.

Description:

3-in-1 Technology - air conditioner, dehumidifier and fan •Multi-Color VFD Display. Generating its own light, a VFD display is brighter than an LCD, offers more contrast, and is easier to read in direct sunlight.

Multi-Color VFD Display Unlike a LCD 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 LCD, offers more contrast, and is easier to read in direct sunlight.

No water Bucket to Empty Using evaporative technology, 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 the back to prevent potential water damage to carpet or floors.

3 Speed Fan with Two Choices of Oscillation Recessed oscillations louvers prevent damage to the unit. The added use of a fan enhances cooling and fanning performance, maximizes energy efficiency, and improves air circulation.

Fully Adjustable Thermostat and 24 Hour Timer The adjustable thermostat, with a range of 16-31℃, lets you select your own personal comfort level/ 1-24 hour timer can be programmed to automatically start or stop the unit.

Easy to install and move. Simple steps required to install single hose venting kit that prevents hot air recirculation back into the cooling room.

      Wow awesome deal, whoops sorry um yeah it passes for a deal i guess…….

        Yeah, even with $45 delivery to my postcode it's still a fair deal IMHO.

      …and rightly so Stewballs, these things are a complete waste of money.

        Evaporative coolers are a waste of money. Portable air-cons can be quite handy for a bedroom in a rental property. They're horribly inefficient, and your electricity bills will reflect that. But on a hot summer's night if it means you can get a good nights sleep it's probably worth it.

          Hear Hear! I own 2 different brands (one reputable and one no-name) and both have greatly improved the quality of my families life in a rental during the Brisbane summer immensley. So long as people read the specs and understand the limitations they are great (ie noisy, power hungry, limited to x square metres room size).

          Incidently, I have been told evaporative coolers are pretty good in dry conditions out west. But all i know first hand is that in Brisbane they only cool you down if you accidentally spill some of the water on yourself.

      I for one don't hate floorstanding portables as much as I hate governments for regulating an often better alternative (window-cassette portable ACs) out of the market.

      This makes this deal look more inviting. I remember when similar portable air conditioners where close to a $1000.00. This is priced same as an air cooler. Good deal +1

    This thing is a bargain as not only is it a portable air conditioner, it also has the ability to produce more power than it draws..

    10000 BTUs ~ 2.79kW

    Standard 240V 10Amp Outlet ~2.4kW

    This machine is able to make .39kW from nothing.. :)

    • Cluster on 07/05/2012 - 11:56

      That's completely normal for air conditioners to produce more heating or cooling power than the electricity consumed. The unit uses outside heat as an energy source. I doubt it consumes 2400w either, as that would make it an extremely inefficient AC unit.

    • bm on 07/05/2012 - 12:02

      That's because it's moving energy, not creating it.

      Very poor efficiency, most air con units are capable of moving at least twice the energy. One of my smaller splits moves 2.5kw for 0.8kw consumption.

      I thought WTF when i saw air con ratings a while back as well.

      well then,
      consider me more informed than I was previously :)

  • berger on 07/05/2012 - 12:09

    i been out to the Nightingale clearance center late last year, that warehouse is enormous!. Hopefully we get a few deals posted here, because some shelf prices were really ordinary(mainly on the tv's there, 42inch hd plasma for $899)

    Anyways, this is a good deal, price is good, pickup not too hard, 10 mins from west gate bridge roughly, if that.

    can you guys do anything good on a 32inch full HD LCD?, i need one carton damage/broken housing, need a panel for a project :)

  • sane on 07/05/2012 - 12:27

    Price is good, but reviews suggest it's noisy as hell, and the water needs emptying regularly. Given the size it's going to be limited in the room it can deal with and temp drop you can expect.

    no heating for this unit? i thought all those portables comes with both.

      Put your 'redneck' hat on and you could try a makeshift reverse-cycle by shoving the indoor unit outside with the exhaust hose pointing into the house :D

      • StewBalls on 07/05/2012 - 14:21

        That would actually work..Jeff Foxworthy can't be wrong! :)

      Alright, this is dodgey stuff. You've got the same username as the poster above you and you've only been registered for a few minutes.
      I think it's right to assume there's a 'lovethedeal'1 through 8 at least.

      What's the deal? You sockpuppeting or something?
      Mods, sort this out.

      those above 3 votes look dodgy as….sign up just to positive this deal?

    ive got one of these units. paid about 400$ 2 years ago. ideal for small/med room. Cant say the dehumidifier does anything special but the aircon is decent. Comes with hose to vent out hot air externally. All in all decent quality, 2 years on still going strong.

      All refridgerative airconditioners "dry" the air.. as anyone who has worn contact lenses in an air-conditioned office will testify. Some bright spark in a marketting department just thought "since it's taking moisture out of the air, why not call it a "dehumidifier" and sell it as an added feature?"

    Be careful buying from this company. if the product comes to you broken, they will expect you to pay postage back. They state they only sell new products but a recent visit to their wharehouse many products had obviously been opened with a crude attempt made at resealing them. They are dishonest and will lie if it suits them. This is based on personal experience. Weigh up saving a few dollars compared with buying from a more reputable company. They have also been caught by 4corners program importing cheap airconditioners with false electricity consumption ratings. Think carefully before getting such a heavy product shipped to you, especially if you are interstate.
