x8000 BTU (ASHRAE) Portable Air Conditioner with Dehumidifier Function
The louvre swings automatically through 120 degrees inside and tips 80 degrees by hand outside, which is a wider spread than most units at this size manage. Rated 8,000 BTU ASHRAE and 5,000 BTU SACC over 230 sq ft on R410A refrigerant.

Spreading the air matters more in a small room than people expect, because a fixed louvre leaves one cold spot and one warm one instead of an even space.
Two axes, one automatic
The outer vanes tip through 80 degrees by hand to set the height of the air. The inner vanes swing automatically through 120 degrees left to right. Together they cover a small office or bedroom without anyone sitting in the draught.
What the numbers on the panel mean
8,000 BTU is the ASHRAE rating and 230 sq ft the coverage. Four modes and two speeds give the settings. The 9.8 ft drain pipe is the useful one: long enough to reach a bathroom or a floor drain rather than a tray beside the machine.
The footprint, before you clear a corner
28 inches tall on a 13.5 by 12 inch base. That is a normal height for the category and a slightly narrower base than most, which helps in the gap between a bed and a wall or beside a desk pedestal.
What you get
8,000 BTU ASHRAE, 5,000 BTU SACC
Both ratings are published. Size your room from the seasonally adjusted 5,000 BTU figure.

Who is this perfect for?
Small offices and studies
A 120 degree automatic swing keeps a shared room even instead of cold in one spot.
Rooms near a drain
A 9.8 ft drain pipe reaches a bathroom or a floor drain from where the machine stands.
Rooms up to about 230 sq ft
The coverage matches the 5,000 BTU SACC rating rather than the larger lab figure.

Frequently asked questions
Does this need a special electrical supply?
No. The manufacturer's own specification gives 110 to 120V at 60Hz, drawing 10.2 A at a rated 830 W. That is a standard Canadian household socket. Give it its own outlet rather than sharing a circuit with other heavy appliances.
Why is the SACC rating 5,000 when the title says 8,000?
They are two different tests of the same machine. ASHRAE measures in fixed laboratory conditions, SACC is the seasonally adjusted method, and Danby notes SACC is generally lower. The 230 sq ft coverage is matched to the SACC number.
What size window does it need?
The suggested window width is 22.5 to 42 inches, which is narrower at both ends than most kits in this range. Measure the opening before ordering, and note that crank out casement windows need a panel made to size.
Is it a single hose or a dual hose unit?
Single hose, as the manufacturer states. That means it draws the air it exhausts from inside the room, which slightly lowers indoor pressure and pulls warm air back in around doors. GE Appliances describes the same effect, and a snug window seal is the practical fix.
