| "Great alternative to permanent air conditioning system." |
Date: 6/8/2006 |
"I bought the PLM16000EH from another web site (due to free shipping) and must say that it is a great product. I was looking for a way to heat and cool my FROG due to the fact that the central air conditioning was not routed up there. Getting several different quotes for installing central air conditioning or a mini split air conditioning system, the cheapest I was getting was around $2700.00. I figured I was stuck with a window unit, which I did not like do to the fact it is an eye sore, plus we only have one window in the FROG and it really cut down on the natural light. When I came across this product, I was immediately intrigued, and after reading several positive reviews decided to purchase it. I just installed it today, and am quite pleased. Here is what I found so far:
PROS
* Strong system that will easily cool a 500 sq ft room
* Very pleasing to the eye. Sleek silver case with blue
LCD screen.
* LCD remote very functional and can easily set temp,
fan speed, timer, and more.
* Quick set up.
CONS
* Though quieter than any window unit I have seen, you still
know its there when your watching TV.
* Need a special outlet installed on a 20 amp circuit. I
already had a 20 amp circuit available, so changing outlets
took no time.
* There is an exhaust hose that needs to be routed through a window and a water bucket that needs to get drained weekly.
There is an option to route a drain line instead of the
bucket, and I will do that.
Overall, I am very pleased with this system. For people looking for a cheaper alternative to air conditioning needs, this is definately the system for you. I will write a review in the winter on how the heater function works.
