Air Conditioners > Hinari Air Conditioners

Advantages: Quiet (with mod), removable water tank, air direction control, cheap
Disadvantages: Water tank could do with being bigger (I'm being picky here!)

...between the Focus 12000 BTU Hinari unit and the 14000 BTU unit I'd seen in a B&Q catalogue (NOT the split unit as seen on their website) and luckily I managed to test both of them so here is my review/comparison. Cooling:- The B&Q unit is rated at 14000 BTU's vs the Hinari unit which is rated at 12000 BTU's. From what I could feel in the store I'd say the B&Q unit does feel slightly cooler but not by a huge amount. In an average sized room I'd ...
...For reference, the Hinari cooled a 9sqm office I was working in from 30c to 25.2c in around an hour and also drastically reduced the humidity. This made the office competely bearable again. Noise:- The Hinari unit is rated at 52db vs 59db for the B&Q unit and I'd agree that these seem about right. HOWEVER, when I first got the Hinari it was much louder than it should be as the plastic casing was rattling against the A/C radiator near the bottom. ... Read review

...drop down dead Size: its fairly compact for a air conditioning unit and being a square unit meant i could blend it in reasonalbly well by sticking a pot plant on the top other air con units are of a more "trendy" design with slopped tops etc Cooling is very good and maintains a livible indoor temperature even when its 30+ Degrees out side other functions inclued dehumidifyer which helps clear condensation from cooking or in the winter months very ...

Advantages: Very effective at cooling the room
Disadvantages: A little noisy

Well where do i start? I bought this air conditioner last week and was that impressed that i had to have it put on Ciao, so i did and here it is! I bought this from Argos and it was £169.99, which is a little pricey, but hey it does the job. When i got it home i took it out of the box and undid the packaging of the accessories etc. I nearly broke my back getting it out of the box, its very small and handy but it weighs a ton. I had another air conditioner ...
...Its about 3 times the size of this one. So what i am trying to say is that i think the size of this unit is really its best feature as it will fit almost anywhere. Now onto its efficiency. I had selected this model as it is A rated in energy efficiency, its about 800 watts in total on air con mode. I first switched it on and it takes about 5 seconds for the compressor to come on (the thing that cools the air) and then just sit back and feel the ... Read review

Advantages: CONVINIENCE AND PERFORMS VERY WELL.
Disadvantages: HEAVY TO CARRY.

...less to compare to other amcor products. This holds at about 6 liters of water. This could be used as humidi and to get the best of its cooling, keep on window and it also uses water to cool as it passes over a wet pad. I enjoy this mostly when I come back from work when it gets hot. It is noisy but not like that. It is quite heavy to carry but its installation is very easy. The day I fixed it, it was not difficulty in installing. I bought it specifically ...
...don’t really know on how to use it during winter, may be to prevent the rate of heat the heater produces, I think that this could serve as a good heat neutralizer. Well you wont expect much from this review because this is just an air conditioner that has one specific function and that it to cool and humidifie the air. Its cooling abilities are very good to me and it is rated for houses with 3 bedrooms. Some times, since I live in a small apartment, ... Read review
