Description
x8000 BTU 3-in-1 Portable Air Conditioner with Remote Control
Three modes share one circular touch dial on the top: cooling from 60.8 to 89.6 F, dehumidifying at 40 pints a day and a plain fan on two speeds. Rated 8,000 BTU ASHRAE and 5,300 BTU SACC for a room of about 230 sq ft.

Small rooms rarely need a big machine. They need one that does not dominate the floor and does not have to be relearned every summer.
What each of the three modes is for
Cooling holds a set temperature between 60.8 and 89.6 F. Dehumidifying pulls up to 40 pints a day without chasing that number, which is the right choice on a clammy but mild day. Fan just moves air with the compressor off.
One dial, seven keys
Everything lives on the round panel on the lid: timer, fan speed, child lock, mode and the two temperature arrows. The display shows the room temperature or the hours left on the timer. The remote works from 16.5 ft.
Which windows it suits
Double hung and single hung windows work, and so do sliding sash windows, up to a height or width of 47 inches. The exhaust hose reaches 5 ft, which sets how far from the window the unit can stand.
What you get
Three modes on one dial
Cool, dehumidify and fan, plus a sleep setting, without menus to scroll through.
40 pints a day dry mode
The rated daily figure. A 25.5 inch drain hose is supplied for the days it collects steadily.
Child lock
Locks the touch panel so a set point cannot be changed by a curious hand.
Adjustable louvre
90 degrees up and down, 60 degrees left and right, set by hand to aim the air.
Washable filter
Slides out from the back for a rinse. Keeping it clean is what keeps air flow where it should be.
115V, 60Hz
A standard Canadian household outlet on a 6 ft cord. No special circuit.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the listing give two BTU numbers?
They come from two different tests of the same machine. ASHRAE 8,000 BTU is measured in fixed laboratory conditions. SACC 5,300 BTU is the newer seasonally adjusted rating, which Danby notes is generally lower because it accounts for the temperature and humidity of a real cooling season. Size your room from the SACC figure.
How often does it need draining?
It depends on the humidity in the room, not on the machine. Dry indoor air produces almost nothing. Humid weather produces steadily, and the supplied 25.5 inch hose lets it run away rather than collecting in the unit.
Does it fit a crank out window?
No. The kit covers hung and sliding windows up to 47 inches. Casement and crank out windows need a panel made to the opening, because a sliding kit cannot seal against that frame.
Is it loud?
The manufacturer rates it at 55 dB or under. That is below normal conversation. Running the fan on low and using sleep mode both bring it down further.
