For a
smallish bedroom or other space, the 10,000 BTU Honeywell MN10CESWW looks like
a good choice. It's rated for rooms up to 350 square feet and, as long as you
keep that limitation in mind, feedback indicates it delivers what it promises.
The features are in line with what users expect in a modern portable AC,
including a self-evaporation system that minimizes the headaches of draining
the unit of the moisture it pulls out of the air. You can use it as a simple
fan or as a 68-pint (per day) dehumidifier.
Breaking it down
Performance
Great for smaller rooms. For small rooms, and especially
bedrooms, the Honeywell MN10CESWW looks like a good option among portable air
conditioners.
The relatively low noise level should help sleepers pass the night
with little
disturbance, though the 62 dBA sound levels measured
by TheSweetHome.com is a bit higher than the 50 dBA that the
manufacturer claims. Cooling performance doesn't inspire raves --
"adequate" is how TheSweetHome.com's Liam
McCabe describes it, but that's about as good as portable air
conditioners get. "But hey, on a hot, muggy summer day, you'll be
happy to have any air conditioner at all," McCabe adds.
Ease of use
Easy to live with. Reviewers like McCabe say that life with the
Honeywell MN10CESWW "isn't bad." It's a little hefty for its cooling
capacity, weighing 64 pounds, but reviews say that it's easy to push from
room-to-room. Unless the air is especially humid, or you are using the
Honeywell's 68-pint dehumidifier function, dealing with condensate is a
non-issue since it will evaporate long before the collection tray is full (and
there's a hose bypass for very humid climes or for if you want the Honeywell
portable AC to pull double-duty as a dehumidification-only appliance). As
expected, features include a remote control and a 24-hour timer. Some users
have issues with the window vent kit -- resorting to DIY solutions (often
involving duct tape) to either finish assembly or to securely mount the vent.
Others have no problems at all, however.
Durability
No real red flags. The 4-star ratings we see across review sites
for the Honeywell MN10CESWW aren't particularly inspiring, but they actually
push this portable air conditioner to the head of the class among units that
have received ample feedback from multiple sources. Most owners are satisfied,
and the warranty is about as strong as you get in a consumer portable AC -- one
year parts and labor and five years (parts only) for the compressor system. We
did note some complaints about poor customer service, however, though not
enough to raise any real concerns.
