Fully portable on sturdy casters and operating on ordinary, 110-volt household current, this air conditioner cools a room up to 16 by 16 feet (with an 8-foot ceiling) by exhausting warm, humid air by means of a flexible 51-inch hose. It comes with an adjustable 4-foot window bracket that the hose fits through. Or the hose can be placed in a 3-1/2-inch-diameter hole in a door, wall, or ceiling (bracket included). The air conditioner is energy efficient because it operates entirely inside--unlike a window air conditioner, which uses hot and/or humid outside air to cool its condenser. Filled with water, it features a "Super Cool" setting for operating at its full 8,500-Btu capacity for 8 hours, and it operates indefinitely at 88 percent (or 7,500 Btu) of capacity even when it's dry. It has a two-speed fan and can be left on around the clock thanks to an electronic thermostat that turns the unit on and off to maintain a selected comfort level and to a 24-hour timer that can be programmed to turn the unit on and off at selected times. To dehumidify a room, the unit collects about 51 pints of moisture from the air in 24 hours. In a patented process, it then employs that moisture to enhance the cooling cycle, exhausting excess through the hose and eliminating the need to empty a water-condensation receptacle. (The unit can be operated as a dehumidifier only.)

The unit measures 22 inches wide, 28-3/4 inches high, and 16-3/8 inches deep and weighs 97 pounds. It can be moved from room to room or installed semi-permanently. (Installation kit included.) Hand grips make it easy to move. Ruggedly constructed, it has a metal cabinet, copper piping, and a first-rate finned evaporator. The cabinet is fully insulated so the unit operates exceptionally quietly. Two antibacterial filters collect dust particles and prevent bacteria buildup. To prevent freezing, the unit shuts off automatically when the temperature drops too low. Made it Italy, it carries a one-year parts-and-labor warranty against defects, with the warranty extending to three years for the sealed system of compressor, evaporator, condenser, and factory-connected refrigerant tubing.--Fred Brack ...

Great Deal for Refurbished
I generally shy away from reconditioned products however this deal seemed too good to pass up. I have this portable in my house and it is like an arctic freezer now. I love it.

This thing really works. I have a lot of computer equipment in my room, which needs to stay cool at all times. I have never had one problem since I installed this portable AC. Not to mention I can transfer units between rooms, because it is portable. I reccomend a portable air conditioner to anyone looking to stay cool. ... Read more

In the hot summer months, fans are necessary for homes without central air conditioning, although they usually don't go with the décor of most formal rooms. This hip 1940s tabletop fan, however, adds a little retro flair to a contemporary living room and is stylish enough to leave out all year round. Reproduced in honor of Vornado's 60th anniversary, this replica comes in its original gray-green color and features a classic streamlined design with rounded twin injector cones mounted on a rotating stand that allows vertical or horizontal positioning. The VF20 offers three different motor speeds, which can be set to the desired level of air flow. The single propeller is deep-pitched to deliver a higher velocity of air than shallower blades and to provide more thorough circulation throughout a room. The motor is permanently lubricated and never requires oiling. However, the grill and base need occasional cleaning with a damp cloth and mild dishwashing soap. This mid-20th-century-style fan is covered by a limited five-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde ... Read more

Delonghi garbage
I agree with everything written about this piece of junk. First, it was sent to me with a defective tank, so that the unit wouldn't even turn on. They sent me a replacement (2 months later). Then it turned on, but wouldn't work - no matter how long it was on and no matter what the temperature or humidity conditions were.

I now have to send it back - at my expense - to get fixed. What garbage!!!

Delonghi Dehumidifiers are useless
I too made the mistake of thinking that Delonghi was capable of making such a simple device that will work.
I ran it for almost a week before giving up and returning it. In ideal conditions for dehumidifying, 71 degrees F and 75% humidity, this dehumidifier collected NOTHING. Not one drop. I checked everything they say to check. Nothing was set wrong and I tried various settings. It just plain doesn't work ... brand new out of the box.

With a remote control for convenient adjustment, this double window fan draws in fresh, cool air from the outside or exhausts stale, hot air from inside. It can also do both simultaneously, because each of the two fans can be set independently to draw in or exhaust out, allowing the unit to exchange inside and outside air. Operable either manually or automatically--with its thermostat turning the fans off and on to maintain a selected temperature--the unit has three speeds, electronic controls, and an LCD screen showing the selected temperature and the room temperature. The remote control (two AAA batteries are included) alters speed, manual/automatic operation, air-flow direction, and temperature.

The twin fan is designed to fit double-hung, vertical-slider, and casement windows. A built-in 7-inch extender and two 3-inch extenders permit custom fitting for windows from 24 to 37 inches wide. Because the unit is lightweight plastic it can be moved easily from room to room. The fans have six blades and measure 8-1/2 inches in diameter. Overall, the unit is 13 inches high, arrives fully assembled, and carries a five-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack ... Read more

Thermostat heats itself
I have one of these, bought 2 years ago: it works beautifully. I bought another this week, and the thermostat feature was completely unusable. I tried 2 more (all were from the same store, this year and 2 years ago); all of the new ones would show the correct temperature when first plugged in, and then the temperature shown would rise, generally to about 15 degrees above the ambient temperature. The control unit on the new ones seems to generate heat, and in fact one time it felt warmer than the rest of the unit; this is true with the fan off and only the thermometer functioning. The same problem is seen with the fans on--the temperature reads erroneously high. This makes the thermostat feature, which ranges up no higher than 80 degress F, useless. This is because the fan thinks it's 80 when in fact it's 65.

The fan functions very well as a simple remote-control fan: strong, quiet, flexible. But since I bought it for the thermostat feature, which no longer works in the three current examples I've tested, I give it a poor rating.

Great cooling job......
I lived in New Haven, CT and the humidity is awful and unbearable! I don't have any AC in my house and just relied on his fan to cool my little computer room, which usually get stuffy and hot since the air circulation is not that good even with the door open. I have had this for a week now and have used it when we had the hotest day last week and being able to regulate it to the desired temperature to cool and having the capability to choose IN, OUT, EXCHANGE is a wonderful feature! I was able to cool the room in no time at all. I did't have this unit for a long time, therefore, I do not know how it will deliver and function when the weather really gets "HAZY, HOT, and HUMID" We'll see. So far, so good. Will keep you posted. The only thing I wish that you would do is make a smaller frame so that it will fit into smaller windows, like 18-23" width! That would be nice. The newer house windows are a lot smaller than the Colonial houses! Just a suggestion for futue production! Other than that, it's easy to install and looks attractive.

Great cooling fan...
I live in Orange County, California, near the beach, so the air is generally cool outside. The sun warms the inside of the house, so the trick is getting the cool air into the warm house. This fan is great for that.

NOISE: There are three speeds. Low and medium are fairly quiet. High is louder.
AIRFLOW DIRECTION: There are three options- BOTH IN, BOTH OUT or EXCHANGE (one fan in, one fan out). The only mode that really cools the room is BOTH IN, but it works well (it works even better if you open the bedroom door so there is no resistance to airflow).
SETUP: installation was easy, but note that you have to have a narrow window that slides up and down, because there is presumably no way to fit it into a tall window that slides sideways.

I recommend this product. The only caveat is that I have only had it for a few days, so I have no idea if it will be durable. The five year warranty gives some comfort.

A really good and very powerful unit
Slow speed is adequately quiet while medium and high are really powerful. The remote is nice. The thermostat is also a nice touch. At night the fan turns off by itself. It seems like very good quality. I am very happy with this unit.

everything is great
that last reviewer must have recieved a lemon, and that's usually my job. this fan is great, if anything, it works too well and cools down my room too much (i'm very tempermental). I think that the thermostat is great, in fact, it better reflects the outside temp than weather.com. anyway, i'm happy. and it has a remote, a huge icing-on-the-cake. ... Read more

Pre-Filter Fits All Honeywell HEPA Air Cleaners
I follow the manufacturer's recommendation to change the pre-filter every 3 months on all my Honeywell Air Cleaners with HEPA filters. These replacement filters come boxed in a set of two. The pre-filter simply wraps around the round HEPA filter, which is inside the unit, and attaches to itself by means of two velcro fasteners. It takes less than five minutes to change the pre-filter. In between changes, I vacuum my pre-filters to remove accumulated dust and pet hair from them. These pre-filters do help to remove some odors from rooms, especially if you are able to keep the space enclosed where you have the air cleaner running.

Be sure to keep a box or two of these pre-filters on hand in case they become back ordered. The HEPA filter needs to be changed in 1-3 years, depending on conditions where it is located.

Universal Pre-Filter
This filter is larger (taller) than it needs to be for most machines. You simply trim the filter (and it's got pre-made perforations) to the height of your machine. And yes, this means that if you have one of the smaller machines, one which is less than half the height of the pre-filter, you might get two pre-filters for the price of one. Bonus.

Filters out dirt, dust, feathers, bug, hair, etc. Oh, my!
This is a filter. Air passes through it due to differential pressure. The mesh like structure impedes the movment of dirt, dust, feathers, bug, hair, etc. This fact may be evidenced by examining one after a sufficient period of use in an environment where such junk is in the air.

Forensic analysis of the mesh trapped junk may reveal fascinating detailed knowledge about the locale in which the filter unit had operated..

These mesh carbon fiber structures should be exchanged periodically for a new unit. The filth ridden one disposed of in a plastic bag, placed in the trash, and hands washed afterwards. ... Read more

Good heater for the price
I use this heater in my cold basement under my computer desk, and I'm pretty happy with it. I was worried about the noise because I use a lot of speech-recognition software and a noisy fan doesn't help accuracy. It's not as quiet as I had hoped, but it's not bad, and my SR software doesn't seem to be affected. Negatives: Only one fan speed; it could use at least two. Also, the numbers on the thermostat and heat control dials are hard to read - not a big deal, since it's also very simple. The 750 watt setting doesn't put out a lot of heat, so I mostly use the 1500 watts. On the plus side, it seems to be very safe, the thermostat cycles just fine so it holds the desired temperature pretty well, it's nice looking, and hey, it's cheap! You can't really go wrong for 15 bucks.

Works extremely well.
I live in a small room and when i turn up the heater, it gets pretty warm quickly. Very safe and i like the fact that it works on the floor or on the table. Not very noisy and the thermostat is working just fine for temperature control.

great small, low budget heater
I wanted a low budget heater that would get me through when the weather gets colder and my central heating is not quite catching up. I was at first worried about getting something from the bottom of the price range, but I really like this heater. It's very compact, the round shape is cute and although it takes a few minutes to get going, it is quite warm. Because it is quite small, you really need to have it quite close to you to get warm. Note that the instructions recommend that you don't use extension cords, but the cord that comes with the heater is not that long. ... Read more

By evaporating water into a room, this portable humidifier soothes dry throats, prevents dry skin, and alleviates congestion due to colds or allergies. Three fan speeds provide control, and, at low speed, the humidifier is bedroom-quiet. This model evaporates about 2.8 gallons of water in 24 hours at high speed. A 2-gallon plastic bottle fits into the humidifier and permits water-level monitoring. It's virtually indestructible, spillproof, and leakproof, and has a wide-mouth spout and flat back for easy filling. The humidifier's wick is treated to inhibit bacteria growth and needs to be replaced every 60 to 90 days. The humidifier measures 15-1/2 by 13 by 11 inches, can be moved easily from room to room, and is simple to clean and maintain. --Fred Brack ... Read more

Good but not quiet
I bought two of these because the reviewers here gave it good marks and downplayed the noise it made. This product is easy to assemble and clean. Filling the water chamber is very easy compared to other humidifiers I have used. To me it is the best feature. My main gripe is with the noise it makes. First of all, the fan is not as quiet as I had hoped. There are three fan speeds, but the lowest speed is the only one that has an acceptable sound level at night. The higher two are only useful during the day when it can be drowned out by other household noises. To make matters worse, every 2 hours or so, this humidifier makes a series of loud GULPs as the water from the tank drains into the humidifier base. Based on the reviews I read here, I didn't think it would be a problem because I am a heavy sleeper, so I was suprised that the GULPing noise wakes me up at night.

This is a fine product for the daytime, but for nighttime/sleeptime, I wish I had purchased something else.

Excellent humidifier but its not perfect.
Pros:
If you want to humidify a small to medium-sized room quietly and efficiently this is definitely the humidifier for you! I have owned other brands of humidifiers that are as loud or louder on their low speeds then the Vornado is at high speed. I found there to be No Loud Gurgling Sound from this humidifier when filling itself from the water tank. With the fan set on medium you can barley hear it & it does a fantastic job of maintaining a very comfotable humidity level.

Cons:
Removing the water tank from the humidifier is a bit awkward. Instead of placing a handle at the top of the tank (which would be easy to grab) the manufacturer opted to only put a slight bump there. You have to be careful carrying & then loading the water tank into the humidifier if it is filled to capacity; or else you might spill water all over the place. The control knob is hard to grab & turn. Anyone that has difficulty using their hands will find this feature very hard to deal with.

Over all the humidifier does what it is meant to do very well & very quietly. The problems are design flaws that Vornado can easily fix on future models if they so choose to do. I would not hesitate to recommend this humidifier to other people. Filter life is about 60 days.

Good, but noisy
I researched for a long time before I purchased a humidifier for our bedroom. I chose the Vornado for its good reviews and well-known name. While the Vornado is quiet while spewing out the cool mist, it makes an INCREDIBLY LOUD KNOCKING SOUND many times (at least 4) during the average 8-hour night while the water gulps down from the water chamber into the body of the humidifier. IF YOU ARE a deep sleeper, or not bothered by loud knocking sounds, then this is the perfect humidifier for you. However, if you are a light sleeper, like I am, keep searching or wear ear plugs. I am literally woken up in my sleep by the knocking/gulping sound; my husband, who is a very sound sleeper, was awaken one night by the sound, got out of bed, and went to the door half asleep thinking that one of our children were knocking on it. On a positive note, the water chamber is easy to fill and replace, as are the wicks. All parts are very easy to clean. And it does "humidify" the room quite nicely. It is just very loud and I would not buy another Vornado for that reason alone.

solid workhorse - 5 year warranty
A couple of years ago, I bought two humidifiers made by Bionaire. Just outside the 1-year warranty period, the power switches on BOTH of them failed. I bought this Vornado unit as a replacement based on how satisified I've been with the quality of the Vornado fans I own, and it seems to be quite solidly built and it has a five year warranty to back it up. Also, it's made in the United States, in contrast to the cheap (but not inexpensive) Chinese-made Bionaires I had before. The only complaint I can come up with is that it makes a noticible "glug" once an hour or so when it draws water from the tank. Aside from that, the fan is quiet and it's very easily refilled.

Very Happy With It
I've owned lots of bad humidifiers in the past, and I hoped to go without one for the winter, but finally I had to give in and purchase another one (The dryness was killing me).
