Soā¦ is it wifi -capable or not?
70lbs? hope it has wheels
Hope it comes with an Amazon weight lifter delivery dude to bring it up my stairs!
Ignore the Asurion warranty being offered. They donāt even cover air conditioners:
For that matter, they donāt cover refurbished anything when itās ārefurbishedā by an unauthorized third party like this.
What heat type, resistance or heat pump ?
Iāve been digging around for that answer and I canāt find one. I just see the BTU rating listed. That and the lack of some kind of ā1500 watts of heating!ā lead me to believe it uses the heat pump instead of resistive heating.
Iāve never heard of this, whatās the preferred heating method? Asking for a friend
I almost bought this but the 14% 1 star reviews, many referencing their unhappiness with Woot, made me change my mind.
Hi there. From the vendor: Technically, it is Wi-Fi capableā but it requires an adapter that is not included or sold on Woot.
Iāve asked our team to update the listing to reflect this.
Is this returnable?
thank you so much for this
Hi there. It should be - hereās our return policy:
Hereās our return policy:
Resistance, like an electric space heater, is basically 100% efficient. For ever 1 watt of power it puts out 1 joule of heat. Efficient but takes a LOT of power.
A heat pump is a bit of a miracle device. For ever 1 watt of power it can move 3-5 joules of heat between the condenser and evaporator. Every AC youāve ever had is a heat pump. It takes heat from inside your home, compresses it into a refrigerant and expels it outside.
A heat pump heater is just as efficient. They are the same as an AC but with reversing valves. It will take heat energy from outside and expel it inside your house.
Is this considered a heavy item?
I found the comment below in the 1* reviews. Iād guess it uses the heat pump for heat.
āI am using the Heather now is pretty warm but water comes out from under it. Donāt know why.ā
A heat pump heater is just as efficient.
It should be more so. The watts used by the components of the heat pump become heat very quickly which should be added to the heat side of things. I would expect (although I know published numbers donāt always play out like this), but a 1500w A/C pushing out 15,000 BTUs of cooling (EER of 10), it should be pushing 20,000 BTUs of heat to the outside (1500w ā 5000 BTUs of heat).
From the reviews the unit āflipsā and sends cold air outside and hot inside, they warned that you still needed to drain water from the unit in heat mode so it doesnāt sound like a simple heater element.
