Honeywell MN12CES 12,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Remote Review

Customer Ratings:

This Honeywell Portable Air conditioner had exceeded my expectations. When I was looking to buy a new portable air conditioner I did a lot of research to find a good one. I couldn't find very much information on Honeywell Portable air conditioners but I knew that Honeywell has a good reputation in other categories of appliances. I decided to go for this Honeywell portable air conditioner and I am so glad that I did! It worked really well throughout the entire summer. We had some really hot days and this air conditioner always provided releif and the portability is really convenient. The other nice feature is that when the unit is not being used you can take the exhaust pipe out of the window for when its cold out, or for security so that you can lock your window. The performance of this unit was really above my expectations. It cooled our Kitchen, Livingroom, Dining Room and a large hallway! It also looks much sleeker than other units, and it's quieter than our previous unit. I would recommend this unit for anyone in the market for a portable air conditioner.

For the life of me, I can't understand all the bad reviews on this air conditioner. Does not blow cold air? Does not cool the room? Too loud?? All I can figure is that these users did not adjust the settings and/or venting correctly (fan mode vs cooling mode; temperature set too high; venting blocked). So far, my experience with this product has been excellent. It definitely blows cold air; it definitely cools the room I bought it for; and even on the highest speed, it is no louder than a fan (in fact, it is quieter than one of my fans). Not having to regularly empty a condensation bucket/tray is also a HUGE plus! I highly recommend this product.

The reviews indicate that this will cool a room. I haven't found that to be the case. I live in San Diego in a small one-bedroom apartment. The bedroom has a window unit that does an awesome job of cooling that room. The Honeywell blows cold air but even with a fan boosting the cold air into the room, it's fails at keeping the other 400 square feet below 80 degrees. Keeping in mind that San Diego is not exactly a furnace.

Pet peeve: why don't they make the units able to fit flush against wall and make the sides accessible for venting and airflow?

It's relatively quiet and attractive as these units go but seriously wish I had spent the money on a window unit.

The unit is very heavy and somewhat hard to get around even with casters. It cools ok, but not well enough for my needs. My bedroom is far below 450 sq ft and it barely cools it. It is generally quiet but when it senses a temperature change in the room it kicks into high gear, becoming excessively and intolerably LOUD. I don't like the fact that you have to empty water from the unit, it was difficult and not something I am willing to deal with on a regular basis.
