I better unbox mine just to make sure............... but too lazy, lol. I'll get around to it. You and I got the same batch, so yeah, better get on it. Not looking forward to having to go back and return it. BTW, did you see the guy who was returning last year's model? White, single hose. He said he was going to get the black one............. lady in the return line ahead of him asked what was wrong with it. No answer. |

some pretty bad reviews on costco website for this unit |
It cools fine (rather well actually, although it's not that hot outside), and it's the quietest AC I've had, so I'm rather impressed. I asked the same question on RFD and others have said it's the same, so it may be by design...but it's such a strange design choice. I mean if most people have the same 'issue' it may not be an issue at all? |
seems like they're out of stock |

I assume most people are like me that if I like the product, I'm not going to review it. So you end up with people who don't like it and basically rag on it for everything. These are the same people who won't be happy unless it's a portable AC that weighs less than 5lbs, that can cool a 600sqft room in less than 5mins, is completely silent, while not consumer more electricity than a cellphone charger. |
See if I can get one later in the year. It'll be helpful to have one rolling around the house just in case. |
Costco has their popular Danby back in stock.. only ~20 left now. https://www.costco.ca/danby-14%2C000...100715465.html Edit - all gone again. |

First off, as far as I know, portable ACs are going to be loud, regardless of brand or model. Some people might be more sensitive to noise than others, but unfortunately it's pretty common across the board. Secondly is that for the BTU output and energy they use, portable ACs just aren't very efficient compared to window ACs or central air. Also when they say its 'portable', it's not really that portable in that you can easily switch it from room to room. I think it's pretty pointless for people to complain about it if their alternative is not having an AC. |
It’s like a dishwasher. If you’re spending bottom dollar for an AC expecting it to be quiet, you’re out to lunch. The difference in pricing for dishwashers that have like a 15 decibel difference is $400-700 So many variables when it comes to cooling a room they should almost have a strict no return policy on all of them |

There was three layers of that shit on mine. I couldn't believe it. Who the hell would do that to people? Took first layer off, but still dark and fuzzy. Took the second layer off and................. :troll: Yeah, haven't unboxed it yet. |

I got the same AC for $100, off a friend that moved to a place with central AC. Thought about selling it during the heatwave when they were going for $1k lol Quote:

my "dual hose" costco danby has the orange faint led too I saw in the rfd thread someone had white leds that were actually legible... might warrant a return if new batches have proper lighting |
I ordered another one for my parents. Will update about LED situation. |
what do you guys recommend for regular fans? tower fans? I was eyeing the woozoo brand for reg fans https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B084PVHNM8/ref=emc_b_5_t?th=1 |
I have honeywell tower fans, have one that I bought for 39.99 like 8 years ago, running strong, silent. I bought 2 more recently. |
It depends on what your priorities are with the fan - air movement, noise, form factor, etc. I think those Rowenta ones move a significant amount of air but they're loud AF at high speeds. |
a few years ago i installed a few ceiling fans in the bedrooms. the one in my master is quiet and has been awesome during the heat |
