4-in-1 Technology - Our portable room air conditioner combines the function of a window air conditioner, dehumidifier, heater, air cleaner, and fan. Saving your space and energy.

Multi-Color VFD Display - Unlike a LED display, a VFD display is an active device providing a brilliant, eye catching glow in a wide spectrum of colors. Generating its own light, a VFD display is brighter than an LED, offers more contrast, and is easier to be read in direct sunlight.

Smart Chip's Technology - Features digital display on control panel and remote. Computer driven controls give you the ability to program exact setting from the unit or remote. With this feature, you can set the mode, timer, temperature and other setting on the remote, then transmit the information to the unit.

24 Hour Programmable Timer with Memory - Our unit only needs to be programmed once. The system remembers start/stop time, temperature, and other exact setting even if power is interrupted. The adjustable thermostat with a range of 84-90F, lets you select your own personal comfort level for heating or cooling.

Energy Efficient Dual Motor Design - One motor delivers cool air while the other motor cools the compressor and condenser. The collected condensation is distributed over the condenser by non-corrosive aluminum fan blades to keep the copper coils cool and the unit more efficient.

3 Speed Fan with Oscillation - Recessed oscillating louvers prevent damage to the unit. The added use of a fan enhances cooling and fanning performance, maximizes energy efficiency, and improves air circulation. The optional single or dual exhaust hose is designed to efficiently cool, heat, or dehumidify any space with no permanent installation. Could be used with one hose and 2 hoses. (When used with one hose the opening at the back of the unit should be changed for a grill and the intake port should be sealed (accessories included).

Best I've owned

Richard E. Hanson (WA, USA) 8/10/2011 3:51 PM

Before buying a portable air conditioner, it helps to understand what you can expect and not expect from it. There is no way it will provide the cooling of central air, ductless air or even a really good window unit. I have owned all of these and speak from experience. However, when you move into a condo with all kinds of restrictions about what can be visible from the exterior or constraints on the architectural structure, then the portable is the best answer. I have owned 4 of these and three different brands. My condo has three separate major spaces, 2 smaller for bedroom suite and office/den. The main living space is larger than the max recommended for any 120 volt unit, and that is where I now have the Soleus LX140. The two smaller spaces are cooled with GE 10,000 BTU units that I have had for 5 years. HE quit making these units the year after I bought them They are quiet and have held up and keep the spaces in the upper 70s when the ambient temperature is in the mid 90s. I used to have and Edgestar in the main space. I live in the Seattle area so only need the cooling about 2 months a year, and then not every day. The Edgestar was the worst unit I have ever owned. It was the noisiest unit and it quit in the middle of the second season. I called the manufacturer in Texas and they said it only had a 90 day warranty. They also said they had no service reps in the Pacific NW and couldn't help. After lengthy searching, I found one person who said they fixed them. After spending over $300, it still didn't work. The service tech said he would take it to the shop and return it in "New Condition." That was a year ago and I have never seen him or the unit again. So I bought the Soleus. I found a dealer in Portland where I knew I could get to if needed. The manufacturer is in California, I can get there pretty easily too. Also, the Soleus has a 1 year warranty. I ordered the unit and it was delivered in 7 days. I set it up immediately but found that you had to use the remote to turn on the fan oscillator. It had to be the receiver or the transmitter, but I didn't know how to tell. I called the dealer, and within a few hours I got a call back from the manufacturer. They said they would send a new remote. If it still didn't work, they would send a label and an RMA. I got the remote in three days and everything worked. The Soleus runs about 10 db quieter than the Edgstar. My main living space has 594 square feet and with partial cathedral ceilings about 5565 cubic feet. I am on the top floor, facing southwest with ceiling to floor glass across the entire space. Without any AC, the space has reached 110 degrees when it was 95 outside in the late afternoon. Also, there are no opening windows or sliding doors, so I am venting the unit up the fire place flu. This week we had three days in the 90's. When it reached 98 degrees outside, the Soleus kept the space at 81. When the temperature reached 85 today, the Soleus kept the space in the mid 70s. CONS: The only con I have at this point is that the fan oscillation is vertical instead of side to side. The next test will be longevity as to how long it will hold up. However, at this time, the Soleus LX140 has proven to be the best unit of its type that I have used and I am very impressed with the technical service assistance of the manufacturer.

We have used this unit to air condition a room without central HVAC. It has worked very well. We will be testing its ability to heat this area this winter.....and I suspect it will work great.

Pretty much does what it is advertised to do. I solved the drain pan problem by tubing it out the wall in a permanent fashion with a combination of tygon tubing and aluminum tubing so that it will self drain.

I have had the LX-140 for a few months now. I live in a 700 square foot apartment. While my apartment is MUCH larger than the BTU rating on the unit, the LX-140 has proven itself to be a great work horse in cooling my apartment. Since a BTU rating of 12,000 BTU is only expected to properly cool about 450 square feet, I have been amazed at how cold the LX-140 has gotten my place. With the fact that the unit can be programmed to shut down and start up when you want it to (a great power saver, and comfort feature) I would HIGHLY recommend this unit to anyone who is seriously looking for a reliable machine that will meet their needs. While I cannot say that if you put the LX-140 in a oversized room, it will always cool it to your liking, I can say with great confidence that placed in a 450 square foot place it would do VERY well.

This thing works EXCELLENT....not very noisy..quiter than most portable a/cs and way way quieter than window models...of course.Dehumid. works Great. this thing has a heater too.it blows hard (lol) and is ice cold. has cool oscilating flap things.Keeps room chilly. digital readout in color on the unit and has a nifty remote..could have used some backlighting on the remote but its all good. i bought this to keep my home recoding studio nice and cold. the room is about the size of a 2 1/2 car garage... my stuff used to overheat now all is chill. worth every damn penny, although i bought it from ebay brand new in box for $599.00 exactly with no tax (except Texas) and free shipping.
