Question:
I am thinknig about purchasing the COSTCO portable air conditioner
WINDCHASER mdoel: PAC8. It has the highest BTU (9000) for a portable I
have seen for such a low price of $629!!! I can't believe it. Has
anyone bought or used this machine? It als advertises that you do not
need to empty out the water once collected. Any info would be great!
Answer:
I bought the Samsung 8000 btu window mount air conditioner ($350) and its
great, remote control etc. I have side opening windows and I just rigged
the thing in there half assed and it works fine. I have a feeling its
going to be a hot summer.
When I was shopping around for a portable two years ago, the lowest price
I saw for a Windchaser was $900. If you check Ebay right now, there are
some going for $649 USD, though I've seen it advertised for $500 USD
somewhere. This unit will cool a room around 300 sq feet, that is, if
there are no large windows facing the sun.
