AmazonBasics 14K BTU Air Conditioner


AmazonBasics 14K BTU Air Conditioner

Alexa, freeze my a$$.

Not a bad price for 14K BTU. Anybody know who the OEM is on this? I’m going guess it’s Haier.

I’m assuming this is cooling-only, i.e. no heat-pump mode? Didn’t see that mentioned. I know some higher-end models do the heating which actually works pretty well (compared to resistive electric heat; up to 3x the heat output)

Not that good of a deal. They are promoting the new “fake” btu output that all these manufacturers are going to now. If you read the specs it’s actually rated at 8,000 “old” BTUs.

Where does the condensate go? Looks like a drain plug on the back, but it does not say if you need to have a separate drain tube.

Also, can you run this with a 2000 watt generator, like the WEN I bought from Woot?

Found these answers in Q&A on draining:

Vent only type portable air conditioners suck. Literally. These should be a hard pass for everybody.
