My apt is hot as Hades! I have portable (digital & remote control) AC's.. will this unit work for them? Only cools to 70 degrees currently. Thanks.

This device is designed to work with window unit air conditioners. While it may work with a portable AC it's recommended against in the instructions.

I use this for a cooler to cool meat. I can keep it at 40* . I guess it would work for that.

It will not make make your existing unit work better. This unit is designed to defeat the minimum 65F temp rating of window air conditioners, allowing them to run to a cooler temp. It will not make a unit that cannot cool to 70F actually cool to 70F.

The cool not is amazing. It over rides the thermostat on the ac unit. The lowest that my unit would go is 60. Now, it goes as low as 45. The instructions state that it works best with an LG ac unit. Mine is not LG, but still gets great results. I got mine for a walk-in cooler that I needed to go below 60. Hope this helps. I recommend it.

Yes, it will work. However, it is really made to get much cooler results - I use it for a floral cooler and keep it at 38 degrees and I think it can go lower than that if needed. It does take some re-wiring which my husband did so I can't help you there. I am not sure it would be worth the investment unless you plan on keeping it that low as it still requires being attached to an air conditioner. Your best bet might be to buy a better air conditioner.

it keeps my cold room at 32 degrees no problem(I have very good insulation) but you need to check on the cool bot site to see if your AC is compatible or not.

If your air conditioner is large enough for you apartment, the Cool Bot will allow it run at a temperature lower that the pre-set minimum. I have a relatively small air conditioner that keeps my 450 sq ft. wine cellar at 58 F on the hottest days. It may be that your units are too small for you apartment?

All depends of the size of the rooms and remember AC does not normally go around corners. Depends a lot on location of the unit ! Central air would help!!

I purchased this AC for our 20 x 25 bedroom. I keep the temperature on 74 to 76 degrees and it keeps the room cool. I'm very happy with the quality and it's ability to keep our bedroom cool. I've never heard the rule of buying an AC 4000 BTUs larger than you think you need. I hope this was of help to you.

The temperature range on the unit is TOTALLY dependent on the ambient temperature. The key point is that the unit can only cool to a maximum differential (ambient to internal) of 35 degrees. So, if the ambient is 75 degrees, it could conceivably cool to 45 degrees. My unit has proven that actual case. However, if the ambient is 86 degrees, the unit will only cool to 51 degrees. I have also seen that condition with my unit.

Yes you can control an AC unit. Basically what this unit does is turn your AC on and off based on your temperature setting.

No, I dont think so, we put it in our living room and it barely cools this area, our apartment is 700 sq ft too, and we have this ac in the living area, that is, kitchen, living amd dinning.

Yes absolutely. I have never used mine for temperatures that high....but I went to my Cool Bot just now and adjusted it and it will go up to 59 degrees. I love the Cool Bot...wish they had a freezer version!!!! I have used this air conditioner: FEDDERS az7r24e7a I have bought 4 of these so far on the internet and they are perfect.

I only used the heater for one night to take the chill off, and it did, our unit, the 12000 btu, cooled a 2100 sq ft house on a low setting of 70 and the house was at 67 degrees. I think it will do it in that small space, I am very well insulated with spray foam and 10 in thick walls, we do not have a furnace, in Iowa/Nebraska!

I have had this a/c unit about a month, I had no problem connecting it to the back of the unit and the window. I did have to take my time as the first time I did not get the hose properly screwed into the window unit, but once I got it right it has stayed together no problem. The unit works very good. The noise level is minimal, on low or medium I don't have to turn the TV up, on high I have to turn it up two clicks, not bad at all. I would HIGHLY recommend this air conditioner!!!

The only thing to be aware of, not made clear in the owner's manual for portable air conditioners (any that I have researched so far) is that the fan will run continuously, even when the desired temperature for the room that you set has been achieved. This is different from window air conditioning units that have the ability to turn the fan off when the set temp is satisfied, and only come on periodically to sample the air and see if the compressor needs to cool the air down again. I have found no portable units that offer this feature. Spoke with the manufacturer of the Toyotomi product, and they appreciate the feedback but have no plan to incorporate the feature into their product.

I ran an AC unit off this that was rated at 6.3 amps (+ surge) and it got slightly warm but not a concern........if you can afford it, i would get the next one up from this unit......however, this may work, but the hotter it gets the less life it may have/ possible fire hazzard

This unit has a thermostat for the 59°-86° range. If you set the thermostat to only 60 degrees, the unit will not blow warm air. if the room temp is already higher than the 60 degrees. Might want to set it initially for 86 degrees. The Unit will take several minutes the first time you use it. Then try setting it for mid-70 or higher. Good luck.

thats exactly how we use it!! big old drafty house from early 20th century and this ac cools it in texas heat!! we love it--its big powerful & energy efficient!!! we just set it on econo & high or auto fan & thats it!!! great unit!!

Not for me. Mine works for as long as I use it without the a/c. It is a great machine.

I have lived in two extremes. Germany cold and August Georgia hot....as in its 100 degrees today. I have never had a problem with this unit. But do check it once a month for normal maintain. Joe

This portable AC (with heater), works very well. It does not seem too noisy to me compared with other portable air conditioners. This is not to say that it silent.
