Inadequate heat pump heating, excellent cooling

Review by Seller / (Posted on 10/31/2023)

This unit effectively cooled my 300 square foot high ceiling bedroom during the summer and has a sleek and relatively quiet design. However, I was disappointed to discover that the heating function only works above an outdoor temperature of 41 degrees, which was not adequately communicated in the product information. This limitation made the heating function essentially useless in my frosty morning climate.

Review by Phil / (Posted on 10/7/2023)

This unit is both efficient for heating and cooling. Despite being bothered and distracted by noise, the background noise is actually not noticeable when I listen carefully. Even when using Skype and Teams near the unit, no one has complained about noise, which is a big improvement from my previous unit. The wheels are of good quality and the overall performance is much better than my old two hose unit.

The energy efficiency of the unit is not something I can speak to, but I can say that I really enjoy coming to bed at night and finding my room much cooler than the rest of my house. I used to have a fan on all night, so the noise of the unit doesn't bother me. It's actually quieter than my fan.

Unitary system vs conventional air conditioning

Review by Adam / (Posted on 9/7/2023)

I purchased this unit for both heating and cooling purposes. I have been monitoring its energy consumption and have found that it uses half the energy of a regular AC unit. It is extremely quiet and cools the room quickly. The heat function works well during the shoulder seasons, but I have not yet tested it in the winter. The manufacturer's specifications indicate that it can operate down to 30 degrees Fahrenheit. So far, I am very satisfied with this unit as it maintains the set temperature consistently.

portable ac: doesn't suit all windows.

Review by Perdue / (Posted on 8/24/2023)

This unit is effective and quiet, especially on the low fan setting. However, it doesn't fit well in sliding windows and the extra adapter provided for this type of window is bulky and made of brittle plastic. It doesn't fit snugly or create an airtight seal. Additionally, the hose is short and stiff, making it difficult to position the unit properly in some windows. Despite these challenges, once the unit is in place it works well as a portable A/C unit.

Portable air conditioning unit.

Review by Randy / (Posted on 8/7/2023)

The setup was simple and I used my sliding glass door instead of a window. I live in an upstairs apartment, but with some adjustments, I was able to make it work. I'm a carpenter, so I'm pretty handy with that kind of stuff. It works well for around 350 ft��, but I had to close off the bedroom door because it couldn't accommodate the 500 ft�� as advertised. It didn't come with a cord roll up on the side as stated, but other than that, I'm happy with its performance since I've had it. I originally bought it for my camper for full-time RVing, but I'm currently trying it out in my 500 ft�� apartment.

Hose should be extended, that should be available

Review by Placeholder / (Posted on 8/7/2023)

The air conditioner had to be placed on a table in order to reach the window with the duct. It would be better if the expandable hose was longer. Other than that, it works well. If the hose was redesigned, it would deserve a 5-star rating.

Cool As Ice

Review by Renee / (Posted on 8/7/2023)

This AC unit has been a great addition to my home. My unfinished basement used to get too warm in the summer and too cold in the winter, but the Impecca has provided a cost-effective solution. While the included instructions were not sufficient for me, I was able to install the window bracket with the help of an online tutorial from the company. I also had to hire an electrician to install a separate circuit/outlet, which was an additional cost. However, now I have a conditioned space that is usable and comfortable.

started leaking water

Review by Wilk / (Posted on 7/18/2023)

My portable AC unit started leaking water from the bottom when in cool mode, and I discovered that the issue was a broken hose tray inside. It seems to break when the top hose connection is manipulated. The manual also failed to mention that the top hose needs to drain in cool mode, causing the top tray to fill with water. I was able to fix the problem by applying silicone and using tie wraps to hold it in place.

Top rated portable air conditioner.

Review by A / (Posted on 7/7/2023)

The portable AC unit I'm using has been great at cooling my 700 sqft apartment. It's able to bring the temperature down to the low 70s and is very quiet. I had previously used a Black and Decker 12000 BTU unit which was much louder and didn't cool the room as effectively. The new unit occasionally has a loud low pitched hum, likely caused by the compressor or hose resonance, but it goes away after a few seconds. Overall, I'm pleased with its performance and especially appreciate the smart app integrations. I believe it's the best unit available without upgrading to a window unit or a mini split.

I used to have a black and decker single hose unit, which was loud and never shut off on hot days. This new unit is amazing, it cools the room quickly, is much quieter, and has a dual hose design which is great if you understand how air conditioners work. The only downside is that the unit is larger and needs to be in front of the window, but that's to be expected. It's a bit pricey, but I highly recommend it.

Review by David / (Posted on 7/7/2023)

This is the best portable air conditioner we've ever had. We own five in total, but this is the only dual hose one. It's quiet and cools our 400 square-foot room in less than an hour.

Frustrating to install - hose replacement is a pain.

Review by Customer / (Posted on 7/4/2023)

I bought this Impecca air conditioner to replace my previous Black and Decker ones, which for some reason are rated higher. The design of the Black and Decker air conditioners pulls in air from outside the room, making them struggle to cool hot, humid air from the rest of the house. In New York, the Black and Decker ones stop working in June once it gets hot and humid. I have a 12,600 BTU Black and Decker air conditioner that should work for a 400+ square foot room, but it can't even cool a 200 square foot bedroom. The Impecca air conditioner is much better because it circulates the air inside the room, and cools the room effectively. One downside is that the hose/window plate interface is annoying to connect, but other than that, it works great.

First Floor Cooling System

Review by JR / (Posted on 7/4/2023)

We purchased this unit for our townhome because we are unable to use our central air and heating system due to my daughter and I having seasonal asthma. Despite having the vents cleaned by Bob the builder, it did not improve the situation. However, this A/C & Heat unit is fantastic. It effectively cools the entire lower level of my townhome, even when the temperature reaches the 90's. We are looking forward to seeing how well the heater works this winter. My husband and I are planning to buy two more units soon. In my opinion, if you enjoy a cool house like what a central A/C can provide, then I highly recommend purchasing this 12,600 BTU with heat unit. You won't be disappointed.

Cooling Marvelous

Review by J. Kaulitzke / (Posted on 6/28/2023)

I used to struggle to keep my town house cool in the summer because of the big skylight, French doors, and lack of central air. I tried other air conditioner brands, but they were all loud, energy-consuming, and ineffective at cooling my place. The Honeywell even burnt out. However, the Impecca is a game changer. It keeps my house cool even on the hottest days and is much quieter than other brands. It also uses less energy, making my summer energy bills lower than ever. Cleaning the filters is a breeze, and the only downside is the short hose limiting placement options. But overall, it's the best air conditioner I've ever had.

This unit is used in a large bedroom bath area and is impressive because it cycles the compressor lower and provides continuous cool.

Top Choice Portable Air Conditioner with Small Flaws

Review by SirEpicIndividual / (Posted on 5/29/2023)

The summers in Las Vegas can be really tough, especially when it comes to getting a good night's sleep without spending a fortune on energy bills. That's why I invested in this unit, and it has been a game changer for me. It costs about $35 a month to run the AC every night, and it has helped me sleep better than ever before. The machine is a bit complicated, and some reviews mention receiving damaged units, but with careful handling and some knowledge, it can be a lifesaver.

Positives of the unit include its ability to cool or warm a room quickly, its energy efficiency, and its quiet operation. It also has an app that allows for remote control and a remote with a temperature at remote feature. The design is sleek and relatively easy to maintain. However, the unit is very heavy and can be damaged in shipping. It also has multiple draining points and a weak window fastening kit. But overall, it's been a great investment for me.

Review by Arty / (Posted on 5/24/2023)

The air conditioner has great potential but falls short in a few areas. The exhaust hose is cumbersome and not compatible with standard window venting. The clips that attach to the window adapter are not secure. The thermostat is very inaccurate, often showing a different temperature than what the room actually is. Additionally, there are issues with the Wifi and remote, making it difficult to set and maintain the desired temperature. Despite these challenges, the unit is capable of effectively cooling a room and is energy efficient. It's just unfortunate that it's such a struggle to get the temperature right.

Operates smoothly

Review by Pickles / (Posted on 5/22/2023)

Our house is a little over 1ksqft, but this unit and a few fans are enough to keep the whole house cool. The oscillating feature is great for cooling one room, but we point ours at our ceiling fan. We also have a carpet dryer fan pointing down the hallway, which has a fan at the end pointing into our master bedroom. This unit keeps the whole house comfortable. The auto features work well and the physical buttons make it easy to use. I was hesitant to spend so much money, but it was worth it. My only complaint was the sliding window adapter, but some black duct tape helped a lot. Good luck with that, but all these units are that way, regardless of brand.

Excellent Portable Air Conditioner/Heater!

Review by Sarah / (Posted on 2/24/2023)

I purchased this Impecca air conditioner because I live in an old, poorly insulated rental house in Texas. The central air system is expensive to run and struggles with the heat. I chose the Impecca for my 300 square foot bedroom, even though it may seem like overkill, because my old Black and Decker unit had trouble cooling the room on hot days. The Impecca is more energy-efficient and should be cheaper to run. I initially wanted the extra BTUs for cooling, but I ended up using the heater during a late February cold snap. The unit has been great at maintaining a comfortable temperature in my room, despite significant temperature swings outside. It's also quieter, with a more powerful fan and a quieter compressor compared to my old unit. I plan to update this review after experiencing the Texas summer heat.

I don't have information on the power consumption, but I really like this portable ac. It's a heat pump that can make a cold day warm or a hot day cool, even though it does lose efficiency in cold weather.

Impecca 12,600 BTU Review: Two Months In

Review by Taj / (Posted on 10/7/2022)

After waiting a couple of months to see how the Impecca held up, I can now provide a thorough review. I was initially concerned about the drainage, performance, and noise level, but I am pleased to say that this air conditioner has exceeded my expectations.

In a small 11x11 bedroom, setting the temperature to 60 degrees Fahrenheit can actually cool the space down into the mid to upper 50s. The machine also handles the heat and humidity of the southeastern climate with ease.

In terms of noise, the unit operates quietly on the lowest settings in air circulation mode, but the compressor can be a bit loud when it first activates. However, once it kicks in, the noise is not disruptive, and I am able to work comfortably at my desk just a few feet away.

I do wish there was a quiet mode setting that would run the compressor at a lower setting more consistently to maintain temperature, as the initial full power start-up can be slightly annoying. However, the noise is never enough to wake me from sleep, and it's comparable to a box fan set to medium-low.

The Impecca is highly effective at quickly cooling a room, even in the Florida heat. I was initially worried about drainage, but I have not had any issues with water accumulation in the unit.

Installation was straightforward, and the unit comes with extra panels and adapters for added convenience. It effectively keeps outside noise at bay, and the overall durability and performance have held up well.

The unit has developed a vibration noise when the compressor runs at full power, which is somewhat bothersome, but it still cools effectively. I recommend keeping the filters clean for optimal performance.

The remote control and app are both convenient for adjusting settings, and the unit has not significantly increased our power bill. Overall, I am very satisfied with the Impecca and would consider purchasing it again in the future.
I attached two decibel measurements. The average for medium fan is 54 and the average for the unit running in AC mode is 61 with spikes up to 68.
I also tested the heat function and found it to work well, although it does collect condensation that needs to be drained or evaporated.

Overall, the Impecca has been a great investment for cooling my space and I am very grateful for its performance, especially during the Florida summer.

Review by NeverTooManyCats / (Posted on 8/6/2022)

I initially chose this AC over the LG dual inverter but regretted my decision. The unit itself seems well constructed, but the hose and window attachments are poorly designed and ineffective. The plastic window attachment for horizontal sliding windows does not stay together securely, and the hose is inflexible and prone to coming loose. The window kit itself also allows for air leaks, defeating the purpose of sealing the windows. Additionally, the hose is difficult to position due to its size and inflexibility. Overall, I would recommend choosing the LG over this unit, especially for horizontal sliding windows.

My TOP Pick for Portable Air Conditioning!

Review by Blaze2k / (Posted on 8/4/2022)

This summer has been brutal with temperatures consistently over 100 degrees. Our home's AC system was struggling and racking up high bills, so we decided to invest in a portable AC. We opted for a dual-hose unit from Impecca/Toshiba, which pulls in air from the outside and does a great job cooling our downstairs living area. The smart variable inverter technology allows it to adjust power and conserve energy, and the app control is a great feature. We also purchased a cheaper single hose unit for the upstairs office, which turned out to be a mistake. It struggled to keep the room cool and consumed a lot of power. We ended up returning it and investing in another Impecca/Toshiba unit, which has been a game-changer. Overall, we are thoroughly impressed with these units and have no issue recommending them. They are energy-efficient, have smart home functionality, and are great for space. Just be mindful of the delivery and shipping process. If you can get your hands on one of these units, it's definitely worth it.

Great Portable Air Conditioner

Review by That Guy / (Posted on 7/30/2022)

I have the same A/C in white and it's a great air conditioner. It's very quiet on the low setting, but gets louder when turned up, although not as loud as window units without the inverter compressor.

It's also energy efficient, running for over a month on low and only costing just under $55.00 in electricity.

Installation is easy and the tip for using adhesive insulation around the window plenum edge instead of on the window frame makes it easy to switch to another window if needed.

The trade off with the inverter compressor is that it doesn't cool as well as a normal compressor, but it's more energy efficient. The fan speed and temperature are more tied together, and the unit seems to have an auto mode for all fan speeds. The condensate works well and doesn't need to be drained often.

The Impecca unit is popular and rightfully so, but the Danby model is identical and generally cheaper, so it's a good option if you don't need the heat pump heater function.

Review by Gary / (Posted on 7/22/2022)

I purchased the Impecca AC based on a recommendation from the NYT and my own research. I had previously bought a Whynter ARC-14SH, but found it to be loud and clunky, so I returned it.

The Impecca cools my 950 sqft place very well during the PNW summer. It is much quieter than the Whynter AC and the inverter compressor is also less noisy. The 5-piece window kit accommodates my large 60 sliding windows, which is a big plus.

Update:
The heating is working well, but make sure to set up the drain hose when turning on heat mode to avoid the P1 error. I set up the drain hose to drain into a bucket and haven't had the P1 error since. I need to empty the bucket once a day because a lot of water comes out.

portable ac: Upgrade the installation kit to plywood for better results. Customer service needs improvement.

Review by Bret / (Posted on 6/3/2022)

The installation kit was not very practical as it warped from the sun and customer service was unhelpful in replacing or providing a warranty. I ended up using a piece of plywood which fit perfectly and made the machine much better. I may cut a hole for the ducting through a larger piece of plywood in the future as the plastic adapter seems fragile. The machine works well, but the remote has too many buttons and the machine's buttons are not intuitive. It gets loud when the AC kicks on but then becomes really quiet in 'standby' mode. I wish it would stay loud as I only use it while sleeping. Overall, it seems to be a good machine, but I have not read a positive review of the plastic installation kit and the lack of customer service support in replacing it is frustrating. However, I am glad I used plywood instead as it is much better.

Awesome portable ac!

Review by TH / (Posted on 6/1/2022)

This air conditioner is truly amazing! It is super quiet and the foam rubber inserts prevent any loud knocking noises. The power of the 12600 BTU model is incredible and it works well even in a humid environment. The app is easy to use and the unit does not have any issues with filling up with water. It is a bit pricey, but definitely worth the investment. I would highly recommend this air conditioner to anyone in need of one.

Maintains a comfortable room temperature!

Review by Don. / (Posted on 5/28/2022)

The room stays cool and comfortable with this unit. Even at 9 am, when it's 85 degrees outside, I never have to walk into a hot room. The lack of a timer to automatically turn on the unit is a drawback, but overall I am happy with it. The convenient remote control also adds to my satisfaction.

Highly Efficient Air Conditioner and Heater at a Great Value

The unit is in good condition overall, with only a few scratches on the front that are purely cosmetic. The most important thing is that it works well, so I would give it four stars.

Should have purchased this ages ago!

Review by k_f / (Posted on 4/30/2022)

I purchased this portable A/C to replace a noisy one in my bedroom. This one is incredibly quiet, even when switching from fan to A/C mode. It doesn't have the harsh sound of other A/C units when the compressor powers up. It's true that it's 42 db on the low fan setting when the A/C isn't running. With the A/C running and the fan on low, it measures 46 db from 3 feet away. The remote allows for both auto off and auto on times, which is a handy feature.

Excellent Unit. Edit: 8 Months. Now Malfunctioning. Edit: Great Customer Service.

Review by BC / (Posted on 4/28/2022)

I recently purchased two Impecca 12,600BTU units and encountered some mechanical issues with both of them on first use. However, after resolving these issues, I found the units to be phenomenal. I wouldn't consider buying any other brand as Impecca's units clearly outperform others I have tried.

The Impecca units have a unique fan structure and mounting, which has led to some vibration issues and potential self-destruction. However, when the units work, they work very well. The build quality is excellent, the form factor is great, and the instructions are clear. The Impecca app and integration with the device were seamless, and the install video was helpful.

The AC and heat modes work wonderfully and are very quiet. The heat mode does not require any reconfiguration and the included drain adapter for condensate drainage is very helpful. However, I did encounter issues with persistent rattling and high-pitched squeaking, which I was able to resolve.

In January 2023, my 8-month-old unit started periodically emitting a loud buzz and stopped working. Impecca Customer Service initially provided poor support, but eventually refunded me for the malfunctioning unit. While I am a little concerned about the disposal fee for the unit, I appreciate the customer service I received from Impecca.

The ultimate portable A/C of all time

Review by Bhitt / (Posted on 4/20/2022)

This A/C unit is the best portable air conditioner I've ever purchased. It's incredibly quiet, so much so that I didn't even need to raise the TV volume when I turned it on at 11pm. The air it blows out is extremely cold, and I have nothing but good things to say about it. It's definitely worth the extra money.

Top of the line!

Review by Jeffrey / (Posted on 4/14/2022)

After doing nearly a year of research on portable air conditioners, I stumbled upon the Toshiba version of this product and it definitely stood out. With the highest SACC capacity rating (12K btu) on a 110V circuit, this unit is a winner. I have a 700 sqft attic loft that isn't covered by our central AC, and this unit was able to cool it to 72 degrees when it was 85 degrees outside. Despite the hot attic, I didn't experience any condensation issues and didn't have to empty any water from the unit. The unit is incredibly quiet, thanks to the variable inverter, and the build quality is excellent. The only small issue is that the exhaust hose only extends about 2-3 feet, which might be a consideration for some buyers. Overall, this unit has been fantastic for my needs.

Burdened

Review by Nazzer / (Posted on 1/3/2022)

This unit is perfect for our summer cottage on Lake Ontario. It's very versatile and easy to install, and it effectively heats or cools our 800sqft cottage. We can comfortably adjust the temperature on cooler nights or in the summer. Despite fluctuating energy costs, it's not too expensive to run for a seasonal home.

It's been a challenge

Review by Seller / (Posted on 12/13/2021)

I bought this Impecca air conditioner for my high-set casement window, based on a good experience with another Impecca unit. However, the confusing directions led me to install the window panels incorrectly and break a snap on the air hose. The hose also didn't reach the window, as it was too high off the floor and there was no extension available. I had to prop the unit on a box and then build my own stand to make it work. Draining it is a hassle, but the app and remote are convenient and reliable, although they don't sync up. The unit is good for switching between heat and A/C and is quiet and efficient, but it would be nearly perfect if the user manual was clearer and if stands were sold for the unit.

Amazing characteristics

Review by Lz / (Posted on 10/31/2021)

This portable air conditioner has been a great addition to our home. I can't speak to the heat function since we haven't used it, but I assume it works just as well as the cooling function. I was initially hesitant about portable products, but this one has exceeded my expectations. I'm very pleased with our experience using it over the past summer.

Functions perfectly.

Review by Jeff. / (Posted on 10/4/2021)

This unit has been running well in our spare bedroom and has effectively cooled down the room. However, I dislike the black color of the appliance. The fan works great if you prefer not to use the AC. I recommend using the window kit to avoid the unit pushing out excessive heat and heating up the room.

Needs improvement

Review by Nathaniel. / (Posted on 9/6/2021)

The unit is very quiet, but it lacks proper sealing from the factory, causing it to exhaust conditioned air outside. I had to take the covers off and add foam weatherstripping to prevent air from escaping.

I should have purchased this earlier

Review by BoneCrusher / (Posted on 8/24/2021)

This portable air conditioner is the best one we've ever owned, despite not being our first. It is incredibly quiet, especially in sleep mode which comes in handy during zoom meetings. It effectively circulates air in our large room and maintains an even temperature. The filter is easy to clean and doesn't need to be replaced. The remote is not great and took a while to set up, but it's not necessary to operate the unit. The only improvement I could hope for is an easier way to schedule its operation.

Excellent Garage Cooling System

Review by StraightUp / (Posted on 8/22/2021)

The Impecca is a great cooling option for my garage in Arizona. It's extremely quiet and portable, but I plan to keep it in my garage. I installed it and vented it through the wall, and now I can work in my garage much more comfortably. The remote, Impecca Air app, and voice control with Alexa or Google are all convenient features. Overall, I'm very happy with the Impecca and I highly recommend it.

Difficult to arrange, but beneficial

Review by Trusted Source. / (Posted on 8/19/2021)

The placement of the double hose connector in front of the window wasn't planned, but it's necessary. It's a bit cumbersome, but it does the job. Unlike my previous portable air conditioner, which required frequent emptying of the water bucket, this one seems to last much longer. However, the process of draining the water is more difficult with this new unit. Overall, it works well for cooling my home office, which houses 10 computers.

Impecca is definitely my go-to brand for air conditioners. I own 3 of their units and they are all fantastic. I highly recommend checking for rebates through your electricity provider or state, as many offer incentives for using Impecca. These air conditioners are powerful and effective, easily cooling down my mom's entire rancher without being noisy. Even the lower-end models are reliable workhorses. If you're in need of an AC unit, Impecca is definitely the way to go. Plus, the duo model I have is even more impressive.

This product has been very satisfying for me. I live in a very hot area and have had trouble getting my rooms cool enough with other AC units I've bought in the past.

This air conditioner is incredibly quiet and simple to install. I replaced my standard window unit in my camper with this one and I noticed a major improvement in comfort right away.

Spread the chilly breeze!

Review by Agatha Christie / (Posted on 8/3/2021)

This unit is fantastic! I really appreciate the inverter technology, which helps save money while still providing plenty of cold air.

I also like that it's wifi compatible, even though you don't have to use the feature. The unit is well made and is heavy, but it cools a large area easily.

The vent is adjustable and the unit comes with mounting hardware for windows. It's very quiet, even on the highest setting, and the buttons and remote are easy to use.

My only complaint is the color, but overall I'm very happy with this unit. I think it would work well in a home up to one thousand square feet. It's a great performer and I highly recommend it.

Top-rated portable air conditioner...

Review by Nebti / (Posted on 8/1/2021)

This Impecca portable AC unit is highly rated by reputable reviewers, and I agree. It is a great option for homes without central air or duct work, and I didn't want to sacrifice a window for a bulky window unit. The installation process can be a bit tricky, especially for slider and casement windows. However, the unit's dual hose setup and inverter-powered compressor make it more efficient and provide precise temperature control. It can also be controlled through an app and connects to wifi for remote control. The unit operates quietly and has a pump for condensation disposal. The only downside is that the duct work makes it less portable than other portable AC units.

Great item! Really cooled the space!

Review by Dan / (Posted on 7/30/2021)

I recently purchased an inverter portable air conditioner to cool down my 368 square foot home storage area. The unit weighs 90 pounds but has wheels for easy mobility. Setting it up was simple with the provided window attachments and the installation video. Once started, I was impressed with the powerful air flow. Within two hours, the air had cooled by 6 degrees, making the space much more comfortable. The included remote control and app make it easy to control the air conditioner from anywhere in my home. Overall, I am very happy with this product. It is well-made, easy to set up, and effectively cools the area. I can now convert my storage area into an office studio, thanks to the improved comfort. The price is worth it, and I highly recommend this product. 5 out of 5 stars.

This is a Monster!

Review by ES / (Posted on 7/30/2021)

I struggled to keep my upstairs room cool, especially during hot Texas summers. I tried adding extra vents but it wasn't enough. I considered getting a mini split installed, but decided to try a portable AC instead.

I was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked. It was easy to install and the cold air it produced quickly cooled the room down. I found it to be efficient in terms of power consumption, and the dual-hose design was a smart feature.

The remote control was a bit confusing at first, but once I figured it out, it worked well. The app setup was a bit troublesome, but once connected, it provided additional useful features.

The AC was quieter than I expected, and I appreciated the dehumidifier mode. Despite not seeing any water drain, I could tell it was pulling moisture from the air. I briefly tested the heat mode and it worked as expected.

Although it was more expensive than other portable AC units, it was worth it for the quality and performance. Overall, I was very satisfied with this top-notch machine.

Cool Comfort for Restful Sleep

Review by Lewis Jr / (Posted on 7/23/2021)

The Impecca 12,600 BTU(12,000 BTU SACC) Portable Air Conditioner arrived on Friday afternoon, July 23, 2021, with slight damage to the box but no damage to the unit itself. It was easy to unpack, assemble, and install in our large master bedroom window with the included hardware. The portability allowed for easy movement between rooms, but it does take up significant space next to the window. The inverter technology makes it remarkably quiet, and the Auto setting adjusts the speed of the blower and output of the compressor to maintain the set temperature. The remote control's temperature synchronization feature and the ability to link to WiFi were handy. It consumed 11.9 amps of electricity, and its CEER of 8.9 is average. Overall, as someone with an engineering background, I found the unit to be functionally impressive and aesthetically appealing. Its main use for us will be as a backup during power outages, as it can keep us comfortable without overloading our generator.

Portable AC: One Hell of a Cooling Unit

Review by James / (Posted on 7/20/2021)

After researching numerous portable air conditioners, I decided to purchase this model for its performance, dual hose design, and heat pump capability. The unboxing process was easy, but the lack of packing materials was concerning. Setup required minimal tools and hardware. However, I was initially disappointed by a loud plastic on plastic slapping noise when I first started the unit. Thankfully, the noise eventually went away, and the unit effectively cooled my 1600 square foot house. Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase, although I would have rated it higher if not for the initial noise issue. I would caution against purchasing this unit for its wifi compatibility, as the Impecca app is not well-functioning.

This A/C unit quickly cools the room and then adjusts the fan speed to maintain the set temperature. It is likely efficient since it doesn't run at full speed all the time.

Efficient Portable Air Conditioner for Effective Cooling!

Review by Esanta. / (Posted on 7/10/2021)

The Impecca portable AC unit is a game-changer. Unlike traditional portable AC units that use a single hose to expel hot air, the Impecca employs two hoses, one for drawing in outside air and another for expelling hot exhaust air. This clever design eliminates the issue of pulling in warm air from outside, which can interfere with the AC's cooling capability.

The installation kit includes everything you need to set up the unit on horizontal and vertical sliding windows, although the horizontal sliding window adapter could be more secure. However, with a little bit of tape, the installation was solid. The unit also comes with a fancy remote control and the option to use the Impecca Air app for remote control and scheduling.

The Impecca is not just a portable AC, but also functions as a heater and dehumidifier, making it a versatile choice for all seasons. In my testing, the cooling feature worked like a charm, even in the scorching Las Vegas summer. The unit also has the option to rotate the top section to adjust the airflow.

Overall, the Impecca is a top-of-the-line portable AC unit with all the features you could want. If you're unable to install a central or window unit, this portable AC is a fantastic alternative and outperforms single hose units. I highly recommend it.

High Quality, Powerful, and Quiet.

This air conditioner is both powerful and quiet. My daughter's long hair was blowing backward as she stood in front of it, and it keeps the room nice and cool. I also appreciate the ability to control the vents or have it automatically rotate, as well as the convenience of the wireless remote. I was pleasantly surprised and pleased with my purchase, especially since my previous 12000 BTU DeLonghi air conditioner was weak in comparison. This one is much better.

I received the air conditioning unit on 7/2, a few days after ordering it. The box was damaged on top, as mentioned in other reviews, but the unit itself was undamaged, apart from the blower wheel being off track, which was easy to fix. The installation was neither difficult nor easy, but it cooled my 500 sq ft room quickly and I was able to set the exact temperature using the remote control. Initially, the blower was loud but has quieted down to a livable noise level. I didn't read the instructions but watched a YouTube video instead, which I recommend. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase, although it looks a bit big in my room where I installed it.

The bracket to connect the vent to the window doesn't fit together, so I have to use rubber bands to keep them connected.

Mini Split Wheels

Review by Disco54 / (Posted on 6/9/2021)

As an HVAC Technician, I purchased this unit for personal use and it arrived slightly late but still within the specified window. The factory packaging was not very sturdy and the box had been crushed in, causing the blower wheel on top of the unit to be impacted. One side of the wheel had popped out of the nylon bushing, but I was able to fix it. However, the unit itself seems well-made and sturdy, with all parts made of strong ABS plastic. It operates smoothly, blowing a lot of cold air with wide adjustability, and becoming extremely quiet once it reaches the desired temperature. The remote control has many convenient functions and you can hardly tell when the compressor starts, similar to a typical mini split. The compressor and motors are also variable. Overall, I'm impressed with the unit so far, but I would give it 5 stars if the factory packaging was better. I will update my review in 6 months.
