We bought this back in September and took it out again recently for the heater function.Nicely designed unit that has a clean modern look. The display is a concealed LCD band that is simple and understandable without an overload information and meaningless statistics. Although easy to roll around, be sure to get help when lifting up above a foot. The window kit was good quality and overall setup was considerably easy. Just hookup the hoses to the kit and fit the kit snugly into the window opening.Cools wonderfully. I use it specifically in the baby's room and occasionally in the study. The dual hose design helps with the energy efficiency and overall cooling or heating out. Both rooms are about...

Had a need to cool a 380 sq ft study/workroom at our summer home with day time temperatures between 72F-88F. Central air conditioning available but extremely wasteful in a 2500sq ft house. Refused to consider window given prior bad experience (let's just say it took a long fall). This would be my 2nd Whynter portable in less than 10 years. My first one was an odd looking unit that worked wonderfully for years before we gave it away when we had to relocate to overseas.The shape and design of this unit was agreeable and generally understated. The only hint of technology was the display LCD band that runs along the top half of the a/c. Standard size for a portable and a hint bulkier given the dual hose design. Although...

Cooling: 5 out of 5Noise: 4 out of 5Setup: 2 out of 5Maintenance: 3 out of 5Cooling: 5 out of 5This AC unit is used in my office on the 12th floor of an older office building in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. In the case of this older building the HVAC is less than consistent, but the windows do open. Last summer temperatures in my office reached the high 90s on some days. As we are a business formal firm the sauna-like environment in the office was not conducive to wearing a suit and achieving any reasonable productivity. This year, with this AC unit in use for the past three weeks, the office has remained a comfortable 70F with low humidity - even on the hottest day we have had yet this year (93F).Noise: 4 out of 5The fan and compressor on this AC unit are a bit noisy, but I think that the noise level is to be expected as the unit has excellent air flow and cools & dehumidifies my office (about 200 sq ft) quickly while helping...

Questions & Answers

Why isn't my forced air heater pushing air to the vents?

Dec 15, 2007 by mike p

My forced hot air heater stopped pushing air to the vents in my house yesterday.
The oil is still burning, the unit itself is hot, but the vents and duct work are all cold.
Nobody's messed with it, so it has to be something wrong with the unit itself. It's a pretty old and I don't have a whole lot of extra cash to throw around for someone to come and fix it.
Help!

You should hear your burner unit go on, then you should hear your blower kick on. If your blower isn't kicking on at all, the blower motor is shot and you need a new one. If it's humming with no air blowing, shut the power off, clean it, and lubricate it. Turn on the power, press any reset buttons if needed, and see what happens. If it's still not working after that, you'll need a new motor. And with price of oil being so high, until you do get it fixed, shut the power off to the unit as to not waste any more oil.

Is it time to buy a new oil-filled air heater?

Oct 29, 2006 by shellybelly2467@sbcglobal.net

I've had this oil-filled air heater for about 5 years now. It's about 3 feet high and stays on the floor where i can adjust the temperature and stuff so I can warm up the room. Since there's oil in it, do I need to worry about buying a new heater soon? Does the oil burn out or something after X amount of years?

The oil is self contained within a sealed chamber.
The electricity heats a heating element within the
sealed chamber that heats the oil. the hot oil moves around in the sealed chamber and the heat radiates
outward from the surface of the chamber which is
usually shaped like a corrogated wall or has multiple tubes on each side.

The oil is self contained and does not need re-filling.
you should never have to do anything except keep it
clean on the outside, and keep people from stacking
things on top of it.
