What type of refrigerant does this unit use and is it precharged ready to use?
2066283
The new environmentally friendly refrigerant R410A is used. The system carries enough charge for standard installation.

Dear Valued Customer, Yes this is a nitrogen charged unit that will accept R-22 refrigerant. The voltage is 208/230/1/60. Feel free to contact our Sales Dept. at 888.474.9966. for further assistance with placing your order. Thank you for you interest in our products. Sincerely, The AC Outlet Amazon Team

I don't know. I put the unit together the night before I left for Australia. I will let you know when I get home and have a chance to use the unit.

Yes it does come with refrigerant and no it does not require professional installation. I do not recommend doing yourself, however, as the company's technical support is abyssmal.

I don't know. I purchased a 'used' unit and when it arrived, the person who returned it wrapped it in nothing. The unit wobbled in the box, so when I received it I didn't open it for a few weeks. Should have sent it back. It didn't work and all of the parts were broken. And, I missed the return deadline. So I had to purchase a Kenmore which works great! I use it in 80 degrees plus and all last summer didn't have to empty it. Good luck! If you can, buy new.

No it uses a conventional compressor and refrigerant like a small dorm fridge works very quickly and well. Ice in minutes.

The condenser is pre-charged with R-410a, but system still needs to be vacummed after all lines are connected and leak test is done.

No! I believe it's R-22. The refrigerant in a refrigerator operates at a much lower working temp than any motor vehicle. Automotive and appliance refrigerants never mix. Have a highly trained refrigeration technician service your refrigerator properly or if you screw up it up it will cost you at least $1000 to buy a new fridge and life long nagging from your other half that you screwed up her fridge.

I had an a/c tech check and then charge the system. It was not precharged.Good Luck

It is pre-charged, but you still have to have an HVAC professional vacuum the line out and release the refrigerant per the instructions. Unfortunately, only professionals have access to the tools needed. We called around, and estimates were around $200 to compete this after having it already all wired up and ready to go.

Check the decal inside the unit for correct refrigerant type. Many use R22 which is no longer available.

Use the Supco URCO410 with a run capacitor. The run capacitor is the little black box. Either re use the run capacitor already on your refrigerator, order a new one, or buy the URCO410 RC series which comes with a run capacitor. If you just use the RCO410 your fridge will work great for about a week, the the compressor will burn up. Trust me I learned the hard way. The RCO410's work fine I guess on way older compressors that were built to run hot anyways but any newer compressor, by that I mean any Fridge that takes R134A needs a URCO410 with a run capacitor.

I had an A/C company charge my system after I installed it. They charged me for 8 lbs of refrigerant.

One-year warranty on everything; 5-year warranty on the sealed refrigeration unit. I have mine in my "hot-tub room," in humid florida, so it's been put "to the test" over the past year (bought in April 2013). Runs great (knock on wood) so far. Fairly quiet.

I saw the other reply, which is consistent with what I remember. The dehumidifier lasted me for most of two seasons, after which the compressor ceased to produce any results, although it ran. It probably leaked all the refrigerant, and there is no practical way to recharge it. From what I have read, 2 years, sadly, is about all one can expect from these devices. By the way, I am trying a Frigidaire this time; I bought it four and half months ago, and it is still working; only time will tell if it has any more endurance than the Sunpentown; the features are nearly identical.

I would not buy this product.A half way decent garage has its own refrigerant. This product is for people that either have experience refilling car systems, or have a friend or neighbor, that has the experience.Save your money.

Yes it can but avoid the idea of using this for automotive jobs. This unit is a recovery unit not to be used to put back in later like an automotive unit works etc.Thats why the big cost differences. Most chillers today are 134a and 407c you'll have no issues.
