According to Rollibot comments on the Amazon reviews, this unit pulls 11 amps continuous and has an EER of 7.53 which is horrendous. A typical 10,000 BTU window unit nowadays will have an EER over 12 and a proper 10,000 BTU mini-split can be over 19 AND provide heat. You will pay more for a true mini-split which requires professional installation but the energy cost of this thing would eat you alive... I calculate that at $.20 per kwh in my area this unit running full tilt would cost $190 per month while a proper mini-split would cost less than half that. I can see ordering this if you live in an apartment that you can't modify and that can't accommodate a window unit at all... that's it.

AckattackerI'm honestly more interested in using it as a dehumidifer (vs traditional dehumidifiers that dump the hot air back into the room). The really high cost is an issue, though...

AckattackerI'll just paste a comment here that I left on Amazon. Ignore the RV specific part of what I said, it was in reply to someone considering this unit for their RV. Dat EER Tho;
I'm sorry to say that you shouldn't consider this unit for an RV. Ironically, that's the only reason I am here. I live in an RV full time. It's ideal in theory, however the efficiency of this unit is CRIMINAL. I know this is an issue they are well aware of too, since nowhere on their site or even here on Amazon do they mention the efficiency, or lack thereof. Most companies boast proudly about the efficiency of their unit. You won't be finding any energy star label on this thing. Frankly I am surprised that this is legal to be sold these days! The U.S. Department of Energy should throw a fit at this thing. I'm not here to cause damage to this product or brand. I've been interested in a product exactly like this one for years. I've built my own mini split in this size, but achieved far higher efficiency than this myself. :/ Why does this not use R290? Zero ODP, Extremely low GWP, legally allowed refrigerant in the USA now, (Along with R600a - FINALLY) has a higher molecular weight and thus would better serve a device that is more prone to leaks with the removable coupler, and unlike R410a is NOT a zeotropic mixture with mismatched boiling points. Which by the way makes the intentionally introduced leak in the system more severe as the lower boiling point refrigerant escapes sooner and leaves behind an incorrect mixture. Anyway, unless you are never planning on boondocking at all, or will exclusively use hookups with unmetered (unlimited) electricity you should avoid something like this unit entirely. It's cool that Rollibot (the manufacturer of this product) is offering refunds, but it's intentionally deceptive at best to avoid putting down any tech specs on the sales pages for this thing. They KNOW it's hideous. They probably wish it wasn't legally required to be on a label on the unit it's so bad. All that aside, for some people it might be the required AC due to a lack of competition for the format. Perhaps they are relying on a combination of that and consumer ignorance to sell these. IF you have no care for energy use conservation and have a need for this format then it's your lucky day. *edit;* Just for laughs I looked up the legal minumum efficiency of a split central air system (Which does not pertain to window or mobile units, but gives you an idea nevertheless.) that is less than 45,000btu/h. What is it? an EER of 12.2. Think about that. This unit is reported by the manufacturer to be 7.53 EER. This means that this unit takes almost TWICE as much energy to cool the same amount as a unit with the LEGALLY ENFORCED MINIMUM EFFICIENCY ALLOWED to be installed into a home. Again, central air is not the same as this categorically. However you would be wise to note that energy use to performance is universal. It may actually cost you more to cool only one room with this unit than your ENTIRE HOUSE with the crappiest central air unit you could legally buy as of January 1st 2015. Wow.

It does heat, according to the company blurb:
"Cool down your room, or heat it up – from anywhere!"

SchmuffellypuffkinsAll the reviews say it doesn't heat and no heat mode is mentioned. I believe they are referring to the ability to adjust the set temperature from anywhere... i.e. you can raise the temperature remotely, which will adjust the amount of cooling and therefore "heat up" the room provided it's hot outside.

The MD product overview says it 'cools to 60 and warms to 87' but the description doesn't call out heating:
  • Modes: Auto Mode, Cooling Mode, Dehumidify Mode, Fan Only Mode

The comments for it on Amazon say it doesn't heat. Anyone have an idea what MD was saying? I'm looking for a single unit I can stick in my garage to cool in the summer and heat in the winter. Thanks!

@ SkipPp This is a Portable Mini Split. It does not require Professional installation. the umbilical to the outside is flexible (10Ft), and the inside unit can be places anywhere you want. There are options to get the umbilical outside 1 Use the included window pass through. 2 run it through a wall if you desire. This does not require that you vac the lines when reattaching the umbilical, making it very end user friendly.
there is a lot of discussion from people on amazon who have ordered the unit. Link below

Is this a window unit? Does it come with some kind of window adapter?

I guess it also depends on whether or not your apartment complex allows window mounted A/Cs? Like for example where I live they've recently decreed that everyone needs to get rid of their window A/Cs (for "safety" reasons) and get wall mounted ones installed (that the management will charge us something like $100-150 to have our walls cut) instead.
Portables likes these would probably escape that kind of scrutiny.

I bet a lot of renters cannot or do not want to drill a large hole through an exterior wall, which is required for installation of a traditional mini-split
