Sunpentown WA-1010M Portable Air Conditioner

Nearly identical to the digital model, the Sunpentown WA-1010M offers the same great performance with manual controls. Sunpentown's self evaporating technology works to dehumidify the air by removing up to 75% of the moisture it extracts through the exhaust hose. Not only does this portable air conditioner cool your home, but it also dehumidifies with greater efficiency than standard air conditioners. This model also can act as a fan and features two air filters to remove large particles and some odors in the air. Ideal for areas 300 sq. ft. and smaller, the WA-1010M portable air conditioner cools while improving air circulation throughout your room.

Sunpentown WA-1010M Portable Air Conditioner

A portable air conditioner is a perfect solution for a person that has a cooling application, but cannot use a window air conditioner. It is great for a garages, sunrooms, basements attics, etc. You are able to funnel the exhaust through a window or a hole cut into the wall.

Before setting up this portable air conditioner, I recommend reading the instruction manual from cover to cover. All of these units require set up time; however, if you take a few minutes to read the instructions beforehand the set up is surprisingly quick and easy.

What I liked about the Sunpentown WA-1010M

The best part about this unit was how cool the air was coming out of the unit. It was not very loud, but you could feel the cold air flowing at a distance up to about 15 feet. There were two fan speeds, but not a noticeable difference in air flow.

The M in the name of this unit means that there are manual controls. The control system is better than I have seen on some other brands.

The exhaust hose was easy to work with and set up. I would recommend looking at where you want to place the unit before extending the hose to its full length. You could damage the hose if you are not careful.

What I did not like about the Sunpentown WA-1010M

One thing I do not really like about this unit is the foam window kit. It is easy to set up and work with the foam, but the foam is not very strong. I was worried a strong wind or rain might ruin the set up and the foam itself.

Draining the water from the unit is not difficult, but the Sunpentown does not have a bucket that is accessible. This makes drainage inconvenient and possibly messy. You have to pull the plug from the back of the unit and drain it with a length of hose. You can set up a continuous gravity drain. You must drain the unit before moving it.

Overall, I really liked this unit. You can really feel the cooling power in the air the machine generates. It cooled off the single room I was in a matter of 30 minutes or so. There are a couple of minuses, but the positives outweigh the negatives by far.
