“your portable air con is very good in my 11ft caravan but what made it brilliant is i wraped a woollen blanket around the exhaust tubing which stopped the heat. before i done that the tubing was radiating 41 degress but after putting the blanket there it come down to 28 degress and when i done that it cooled the whole caravan down around 10 degrees lower than outside temp”
“Very good ac. Does exactly what it says.
Do not bother if you have a big van, it’ll never cool it down or only at night time.
I ran it whole outside temp was over 30deg. The air coming out was cold but won’t cool down the cab.
Bit pricey tho.
A few cons: the remote control is really useless, only works if you point right in front of the ac. Doesn’t work at any distance.
The fan is noisy but this is from the wind moved around not the motor.
But heavy and bulky.
Would be great if it comes with different fan speed.
Would be great if it we could plug a wired remote control so the ac could stay hidden and can be controlled on a van wall.”
“So, first of all let me say I got this for home use.
The good:
1. FRONT DUCTS: The ducts on the front, they're a godsend. They allow me to direct the air from the aircon to anywhere I'd like. The unit overall has limited cooling capabilities but being able to concentrate them right onto my lap is tremendously helpful. I do wish those ducts were longer than 1 meter though.
2. SIZE: The unit is much more compact than any alternatives. Quite heavy though.
3. FUNCTIONAL: The unit works reliably.
The cons:
1. NOISE: This thing is super loud. It's advertised as having a sleep mode that dims the LED's, but having what amounts to a truck engine right next to you while you sleep is the bigger concern. Thankfully you don't need active noise cancelling, ear muffs are good enough if you want to use this while sleeping.
2. EFFICIENCY: This aircon runs the fan at the same speed over the hot and cold side. This is a problem because any air blown over the hot side is vented outside. Any designer worth their salt would regulate the air flow over the hot side to maintain the temperature without drawing in too much air from outside.
3. COOLING POTENTIAL: Naturally, since it creates a vaccuum that draws in so much air from outside, the amount it can cool a room is limited. Better than nothing, but that's a low bar.”
“Honestly I've only tried it out at home not in the camper yet, so I can only tell results in oursmall laundry room about 2ms x 2.5 mts x 2.4 high room temperature was 32°Celsius. The air-conditioner was blowing cold air sub 20°c but barely did anything to room temperature. However it felt Nice and cold blowing directly on you especially when the cowling to the front is fitted as the fan blows with extra force on you. Disappointingly it made almost no differce in fan speed between low and high. I think it will give some relief at night directly blowing on you. However time will tell. My early test results, are not promising as regards anything other than that. I hope this helps someone. regards Shivers.”
“I am very disappointed in this air conditioner it does not meet the standards it barely gets the low 16 Degrees. IT is not worth the $800 that I was charge by the kick ass sales persone. Not worth it and a waste of money.”
“After taking it out of the box and putting it together I was very impressed, until I switched it on and did nothing but blow coolish air ..... giving it the benefit of doubt I pressed on trying it on and off for two weeks with the same result.
I have sent an email to support and am currently waiting a response. KissAss have a very good name and product range would love to give a higher star rating but considering the price I/we pay i expect it to work”
“Great product. Perfect for my JPod camper. 28 degrees over night is never comfortable, with this beauty humming I had the blanket on. Does everything it should, very impressed.”
