 why it might cycle on and off June 27, 2010

From AJ Madison, explaining why some people might have had problems with constant on-and-off cycling: BTUs determine how much cold air comes out of the unit, but problems can occur if the air conditioner is oversized for the space. The more cold air that comes out - the more area it needs to circulate to avoid giving the thermostat a false reading. If the unit is oversized, the cold air bounces off the wall back onto itself giving the thermostat a false reading - causing the compressor to shut off because the thermostat reads that the set temperature has been achieved. While the unit is off - the thermostat is able to read the room's actual temperature, which kicks the compressor back on. This process will continue, causing the compressor to cycle off and on every two to three minutes, but never staying on long enough to effectively cool the room or remove uncomfortable humidity.
 fantastic, buy it June 25, 2010

This is a quality, quiet, cold producing unit. Had a AMCOR unit previously that was mediocre for cooling and stopped working in one year. I gave it away on Ctaiglist. You will not regret purchasing this unit.
Sharp Portable AC Exceeds Expectations May 30, 2010

I purchased this Sharp model after considerable online research. I was interested in a unit that didn't require a water pan to be emptied, could cool a room of about 150 square feet, and operated with minimal noise.
This Sharp unit meets all the requirements. Even on the lowest setting the room is cooled quickly. The install was simple although the framing can easily be removed from the outside and entry to the room is possible. People in more dangerous areas may not want this setup or should find a way to secure the framing to the window structure.
I am most impressed by the noise level of the unit. On the low setting, which is all that's required to cool the room, this AC is significantly quieter than a window unit. The manual is clear, the remote is user friendly, and the unit has a sleek, modern design.
A portable AC is never a perfect solution, due to its inherent inefficiency, but this machine does provide practical benefits and great value.
Great purchase May 14, 2010

Hello,
I've recently had this item shipped. It's fairly big and heavy (95 lbs - check out dimensions to make sure it will fit and leave extra room on both sides for air intake) but at the same time very quiet and effective.
I'm used to either central air or through-the-window type of AC but performance, design and remote control functions of this unit are well above my expectations and I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.
Thanks.

Where I live, the temp only breaks 95 a few times a year. Because of this, it is hard to justify the cost of central air. The better option seemed to be a portable AC. Use it when you need it, stow it when you don't.
This review is not about some of the points discussed in earlier reviews. Yes it is heavy, very heavy, and yes the window attachment is cheap but I am not going to re-hash those issues.
For this review I wanted to focus on the unit for bedroom use. My main observation was that, for sleeping, this unit (probably all units) has a lot to be desired. I positioned it right next to my bed thinking that it would quietly maintain a nice cool temp. My first disappointment was how slowly it cooled. I put it on max cool then left the room for about 2 hours. While it was cooler when I returned, it wasn't cold.
After settling in to bed, I was presented with my second disappointment. My "library quite" air conditioner was LOUD. Not just the compressor but the bubbling/gurgling of the liquid inside the compressor. Worst of all, when the room reaches temp and the compressor shuts off there is a loud WHUMP sound. Not unlike the sound of someone dropping a box of bricks. It kept waking me up all night and I ultimately had to turn the unit off.
In conclusion, this is a solidly built machine with great fit and finish. Once it got up to speed it did do a relatively good job cooling and I like the remote and overall design. However, if you are expecting this to be a whisper quiet cooling machine that will sooth you into restful slumber...think again. You will be disappointed.
As for me, I will probably return this unit. The main reason I bought it was for a cool restful sleep and this is something it does not provide.
