Dimplex 3.2kW Multi-Directional DCP11MULTI

the cons outway the pros when it comes to this so called portable aircon unit – Does an ok job of cooling but two HUGE gripes with this unit which means i CANNOT recommend it to others - as follows: 1) the outlet hose; ugg what an absolute pain, it does not connect cleanly to the point that I've had to gaffa tape the hose at 2 points; the rear exhaust and then again at the window outlet. Terrible design. Other competitors eg Rinnai have a hard plastic connector that locks the exhaust pipe in place; wonderful easy to connect design. Dimplex take note!! 2) dehumidifier - there is not collection point to empty out excess water, which means you have to come up with your own external hose AND collection solution in order to drain the excess water. When you're in QLD and it's 90% humidity this is entirely impractical. As another reviewer said - it would have cost the company next to nothing to at least include a drainage hose which you could then drain the water into an ice cream container I guess, but seriously who wants to do that??? What were you thinking Dimplex???

One Cool Customer – This unit has been a life saver! Staring down the barrel of a week long heat wave of 40°C days with no a/c had myself and my son sweating. We needed a unit that could cool our lounge/dining area and provide some relief for us both in the room we relaxed in and took shelter from the relentless furnace cooking away outside each day. After doing some research, I knew Dimplex was a good brand, and I knew I would need a reasonable output. We managed to get this unit at a VERY reasonable price, and I am so happy with the product. It is less noisy than a similar one I tried, it’s easy to function, and offers the swing option which a lot of portable a/c units don’t, which means my son and I don’t have to argue about the position of the machine haha. But most importantly - it cools the room significantly! We went from competing with the local sauna, to a pleasant air conditioned comfortable area we can rest and put our feet up in no time at all.
The unit is compact, easy to move around, comes with a remote and options for dehumidifying as well as the ability to heat and cool, as well as three fan functions and excellent temperature range. We had it running for many hours and all it did was increase the coolness of the room. There is a setting where you can have it manage the temp for you too, while sleep, which would save on power as it keeps it within 1-2 degrees of your desired temp.
I am one very happy (and cool) customer!
