Amcor PLM15000E AIR COND/Cleaner/Combi

This is sold at a very high price even for a 150000btu machine but the truth is that is only just over 11000btu. I have now found out that the EU brought in a standard way of measuring cooling output over 3 years ago but Amcor persist in misleading people into believing their units are more powerful by using a non-approved measure of output. The unit itself is smartly designed but proves noisy in operation and of course does not produce the cooling power expected.

It takes up a lot of space - the unit needs 50cm at the back and on its right side, the hose is very inflexible so not very space efficient when it comes to positioning. The window fitting kit is designed for windows that slide ... more
