InSinkErator H-990 1/2-Gallon Instant Hot Water Dispenser Review

I have installed Sears units and other In-Sink-Erator units and I will not install this model again. It has a very poor connection between the hot water unit and the dispenser. The nylon nut that secures the 1/4 copper tube to the hot water unit does not work. Or should I say it does not work when you are lying on your back under a sink with limited mobility! I called 1-800-558-5700 and asked them what to do and they said to keep tightening it until it stops leaking. The directions however say tighten it finger tight and then turn it with a wrench no more than 3 turns or it may crack the unit. And by the looks of the water jacket it will crack.
This is a new design the older models sealed this connection. I guess in the efforts to save 12 cents on a brass fitting quality has gone out the window.

SPT WA-1230E 12,000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Remote Control Review

I bought this AC unit during the excess heat wave this summer. The unit, (once properly vented) works really well for cooling my bed room but it shuts off when the water needs drained. Durning these hot temperatures this is after only 2-2.5 hrs. Draining the water is not an easy task because the drain is only 1 inch from the floor so you can only use a really really shallow dish. It does come with a hose to connect to a drain for continous drainage but the drain must be below or at the same level as the AC unit.
This drainage problem makes the unit NOT useful for long term cooling (you can't run it all night or use it to cool while at work)
As a long term solution I am working on buidling a stand to set the unit on for continous drainage into a bucket but it is heavey and vibration makes noise a problem. Other portable AC unit have a collecting bottle which is easy to revome for drainage.

Ideal for rooms up to 400 square feet, this portable air conditioner features a 12,000-BTU cooling capacity and an energy-efficiency rating of 12.63. The unit also functions as a dehumidifier, removing up to 65 pints of moisture from the air per day (the dehumidifier functions automatically in AC mode). During the cooling process, its self-evaporating system extracts water from the air into the unit. Most of this water then gets recycled and used to cool the cooling coils for more efficient operation. The air conditioner comes equipped with a 3-1/5-pint water tank and two fan speeds, as well as a digital thermostat, digital temperature display, and remote control, which makes it simple to use. Choose between continuous operation or the programmable timer, which can be preset up to 12 hours. The unit also provides a 64- to 90-degree F thermostat, a washable air filter, an activated carbon filter to help remove odor, a built-in water tank or extended water tube for continuous drainage, and an easy-grip handle and large casters for convenient mobility. Other highlights include an LCDI plug, fire-resistant PVC plastic housing, a rotary compressor, directional air discharge louvers, and an extendable exhaust hose (up to 5 feet). The unit requires exhaust hose installation, and all standard accessories come included. Weighing 76 pounds, the air conditioner measures 15-1/4 by 16-1/2 by 30-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

SPT WA-9020E 9,000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Remote Control Review

I have central air, but my bedroom upstairs is usually 5-10 degrees warmer than the other bedrooms (vaulted ceiling). This product works perfectly even though the room is much larger than 250sq ft.This portable AC only costs 50 cents a day to run, considerably less than running the central air. It's quieter than I expected and the air is very cold. The only thing I don't like is the instruction manual - just not enough info.The exhaust hose must be mounted properly to the outside through a window. All portable AC units create a vacuum in the room and if the exhaust hose is not practically air tight, more warm air from outside will come in than cold air blowing out. I have had it for a week now and it has yet to need the water reservoir emptied.
