Dimplex DC17 (5kW)

Never had an issue with mine.
This was in a large bedroom and office (3.6×7m) with raked ceilings and pretty average insulation. Unit was easy to use and it certainly made working and sleeping in hot, humid Qld weather no problem at all :)

Our house is an older house that was built back in the war for army families. It also doesn't have insulation in most of the walls, so summer gets extremely hot. Other air conditioning we have tried are nothing compared to the Dimplex. It actually brings the temperature down and cools the whole room and brings relief to the weather.
It is a little noisy but the fact that it works great makes up for it.

The unit is relatively portable but is quite loud - unless the weather is sweltering it's not worth the effort of sleeping through the noise the unit makes. To be honest, we bought it when it was so hot we just couldn't stand it anymore, so we were a bit desperate. I would say it's really no better than a fan UNLESS you fill it with ice cold water and a couple of freezer blocks. When you do this it's pretty good.

So I paid a premium but worth every cent based of the slim design and strong airconditioning!! Sound is a little loud but it's not loud that you cannot sleep through it as it does what an aircon needs to do !!!! Cool down my 33sqm investment property!!!!
Great for a window unit.. hey, at least the tenants will use the turbo function to cool the unit down and switch it off with a timer if they find it to be loud.. it's bearable aircon loud by perhaps 1decibal so do not be turned down by the word loud!!
I had it for 3 months now and it's going strong!!
Oh plus i do not need to drain it and it has a humidifying tech as well ..
Buy it if it's around 850$ Aus mark.. otherwise it's not worth in my opinion :)
Cheers
