Royal Sovereign ARP-1000E Portable Air Conditioner

Pros: Everything!!
Cons: Nothing!!

Oh, Royal Sovereign...what can I say. We purchased this product because our DeLongi had cheap pieces and we had to take it back, twice. My husband had gone to 9 different stores looking for a portable air conditioning unit and was unsuccessful. I had ...

Pros: Chillin' like a villain
Cons: Heavy, not the most attractive thing. Window kit is sort of flimsy.

Pros: Runs.
Cons: Doesn't work.

My unit is not defective, but it just can't cool the room. It's also very noisy, with only two speed settings. This is why the likes of Panasonic don't make mobile A/C's.

Pros: Has a remote control, cools quickly, uses one hose (heat escape), has wheels.
Cons: It's heavy, produces too much water, noisy.

I've recently bought this portable air conditioner from Fry's. While it's a sufficient model, I'm going to look for a better one. This unit produces a lot of water, so attaching a draining hose is essential. It's fairly noisy with only two speeds - low and high. The noise level doesn't drop by much if you set it to low. The controls on the unit are very intuitive so you won't have trouble using the unit.
