Dimplex DAC12005

Cools fast and it fitted my requirements, would not be without it.

It is large and best only moved short distances, I would not like to be dragging it up and down stairs. Then you have to find a place to store ot.

Cheap to run. Inexpensive. Robust. Reliable. Quiet. R22 refrigerant.

Very small output, anything more than a janitor's closet it will struggle. Gives up in very hot weather. Frequent water removal required in humid areas.

Price - was pretty good; portability - I've moved once since I bought it and it easily moved with me; IT COOLS A 24 SQUARE ROOM quite well (in 42 deg. Celsius heat - that's worth everything)!

Water requirements and exhaust hose.

Don't know how we could live without this unit on a hot day!

There is nothing really I can say against this product, maybe a little heavy but it is what you would expect in a good unit.

Really does cool (smallish room, say a bedroom) when doors shut. Portable - we have used in different bed rooms, down at the beach house when inbuilt one failed and could not get anyone to repair it.

Only suits sash type windows and for a very small bedroom, can take up a lot of space given you need space in front and it has the piping out the back.

I don't know what else I would do on a 40 degree day! It works if you use if in a small space and close off the room properly. I use it to cool the room down before sleeping and then move it to the next room.

Noisy and cumbersome and heavy to move around. You need a conveniently located window.

Strong fan for a medium sized room, cools instantly, light for its size

you can only adjust the air flow breeze from left to right, cannot adjust it up or down so means the air is only blowing upwards.

Great coooling

None really, although really inconvenient with the hose out of window requirement

Powerful, cool air, easy to use. Unit worked well WHEN it worked.

Two failed fans, will never buy from Dimplex ever again because of their poor service. Be warned!
