Has anyone measured what temp the air is coming out of unit? I could only get it to hit 61 degrees. Should it be in the 50's? not cooling room :(

The technical data ff the manual page 17 indicates that the thermostat range is 61 degree F to 89 degree F. I think it works as it suppose to.

Ours actually takes a long time to cool as well :( Especially when its really hot outside, it takes longer to cool, usually have to put on at least 12 hours in advance.

To be honest, we have such hot weather that I'm thrilled it knocks our temperature in a huge window-lined room down more than 10 degrees. Our room also has the disadvantage of having a huge archway that opens into a mud room and the rest of our home. It was 98 degrees outside and I was thrilled my sunroom was 80 degrees. I think expectations should be adjusted depended on load, how open the room is to other areas, and the external temperature. One thing this is NOT is central air. We have central air and there is no comparison. That being said, I still think this is the best portable unit on the market today and we are still very pleased with it.

Hey Edward, without a little more info I can only guess at why your unit is shutting off. One possibility is if their is not enough airflow through the unit and it might be overheating. Is it located where there is enough airflow? I have had no issues with my unit.

No, I have a thermostat hooked in-line, so it doesn't run below 60 deg. I don't want to be cooling the space in the winter, I want the opposite, so the house stays warmer. This is an awesome unit and works really well.

this air conditioner is relatively lite at around 42 pounds, now! the one thing you absolutely will want to do is to make sure you support the top rail of the unit with 3 screws that screw into your window and also, make 100% sure that you secure the unit with the window locks provided with the unit, otherwise someone could slide the accordian flaps aside, and possibly remove your unit from your window. Rebecca, I'm pretty much blind except I can see a little light,and I pretty much had it installed in about 10/15 minutes. Just take your time, and read your instructions for the install, and you should be fine, also the unit doesn't stick out of the window that muchso you shouldn't need an extra support, however, if your window cill is in a newer home, there is that possibility that you may need a bracket to support it from the outside,, first though, see if the unit fits into the track of your window, and then, slide your window down over top of the unit and proceed to screw the top rail to the window that you just slid down. The first thing you will want to do as you unbox your unit is to assemble the top rail with the 4 screws provided to your air conditioner ok? I hope my info helped you in your decision, and, if I can be of any more assistance, by all means, please feel free to write me at: Raydeman@comcast.net. Thank you Rebecca, and I hope you have a good summer.

The unit doesn't get hot - approximately 100 to 110 degree's when in use if kept well ventilated.Under an auto seat is more then enough space for good ventilation. Might be a good idea to occasionally check that the vents in unit haven't somehow gotten blocked. (Very small amount of heat when you consider a humans normal temp 98.6)

the unit has a heat source so it doesn't seem to matter the temp of the room (above freezing). I have it in my garage and it is often in the 40 degree range. The unit does put out heat when operating (when removing humidity--if humidity is at or lower than your setting the heat turns off but fan continues to operate). You should be fine. I love this thing. I moved from Eastern WA where humidity is hardly ever above 50%, to Western Wa where it is in the 80-99% most of the time. I am allergic to mildew/molds etc and this unit keeps my home dry and no musty scents. I was prepared to purchase a second one for the upstairs but this dandy unit keeps both floors perfect.

I apologize for taking so long, I just found the information. The operating temperature for this unit is -10 degrees C - +50 degrees C, or 14 F - 122 F.

No. It's supposed to cool to 32 degrees below ambient temperature-- eg: if it's 76 in the room where it's placed, it's supposed to cool to 44 degrees (but I find mine cools a little less efficiently-- perhaps 28 degrees below ambient?)

I keep the unit set to 50 degrees but there is a considerable varience in the interior temperature. I monitor the inside temperature with a thermometer. When set to 50, the thermometer reads 55 degrees at the bottom of the unit.

I'm using mine on a patio as a slide in under an outdoor kitchen cabinet. Make sure you have about 4 inches around for air flow. This unit has the condenser built in the left and right sides and dissipats the heat unlike a fan blowing air across the condenser on your home frig. What I did do is take the 1/2 inch shipping foam that was in the box and duct tape it to the back and top to help insulate the box a little. Just dont cover any part of the outside that feels warm after it's plugged in. Here is something I want to warn you about but is no big deal. When the box is cold and say you go to get a drink out of it. After you close the door it forms a tight vacuum and makes the door almost impossible to open unless you wait 3 or 4 min. I do HVAC repair and have have seen this same thing happen on walk-in coolers trapping people. You need to make a way for the vacuum to be relieved. What I did was take a 2 inch piece of thermostat wire (this wire is about 1/2 the size of a cloths hanger) tapped it the top and bent it over to go between the refrigerator box and the door gasket. This little wire will allow the vacuum inside to equalize and you can open the door within 15 to 20 seconds and it wont bother the temperature. Buy the way this frig can freeze a bottle of pop if you set it to cold. My control is setting around 5 O'clock and running around 32 degrees. I leave it outside but unplug it in the winter. Good Luck

I now like the machine but the settings/temps process is mysterious. In brief, be sure it is in the mode you want; like standard and not eco or fan. I turn it on and up to where it starts, then back it down. I set its reading to four or five degrees higher than I actually intend. This way it cycles on and off at night and keeps the (bed)room at the desired temperature. This advice may not help. In which case persist; just fool with the thing until you win. Or call LeLonghi and good luck with that.

You would have to call the mfg. about that. 1 yr. sounds about right. We didn't like the way it worked, so I sent it back. The heat went straight up from the vent, & didn't heat the small room we had it in. I purchased it because the reviews were good. Maybe I just got a lemon!

40's, but I do not like the cooler. The motor/fan run all the time and never shut off. I called the mfg and they said that is just how it is and I would have to get used to it. Customer dissatisfaction was not a reason for them to let me return the darn thing. I choose to unplug it, put it on Craig's list and take the loss. The next one I buy will be from a store where I can see and hear it run before spending any money. Hope this helps, did not mean to rant on, but folks need to know about this company.

I checked on my unit and the control goes down to 60 degrees.I have never had it lower than 72.I live in Houston and the room stays cold when the A/C is running.

I can't give you exact answers here but I can give you my observations. In the warm months, temperatures here are usually in the 80s to 90s and the fridge cannot keep it's cool. I have it set at 55 and see it climb to the low 60s on hot days. Right now the temp in the room with the fridge is 80.6 and the fridge is at 59 (set for 55). Hope that helps a little

Mine is doing the same thing. It states the max temp is 190, so setting it at the max should be safe and it operate normally. Has anyone else set there's at the max and it works fine? thanks

Hi John,I was able to adjust mine at at least 2 settings. Granted I'm running a 180 degree thermostat. Iniallialy it was opening around 170 with the running to often. I now have it opening between 178 and 180 degrees. Are you running a 200 or 210 thermostat? Maybe there are less options at higher temps. Not sure on that one. Perhaps you have faulty module. Make sure you have your probe a short distance from the radiator inlet. I know the closer to the inlet the truer the temp readings are.Good Luck John
