- Key Specs
- Recommended Room Size: 500 square feet (The recommended area size in which the product is designed to operate and produce optimal results, such as the desired heating or cooling. Generally, running a unit too big or too small for the space will result in ineffective operation and wasted energy.)
- DOE SACC Cooling Power: 8000 british thermal units (The Seasonally Adjusted Cooling Capacity (SACC), implemented by the Department of Energy (DOE) after 2017, is a rating of a portable AC unit's cooling power. This rating is based on revised testing that more accurately measures a portable unit's performance, taking into account that these units do not vent heat in the same way as wall or window units and therefore were not cooling as effectively as the previous BTU ratings indicated (based on the ASHRAE-128 standard prior to 2017). Generally, the new cooling power ratings are lower than previous BTU ratings and can more reasonably be compared to the cooling capacities of other types of AC units.)
- ASHRAE Cooling Power: 14000 british thermal units (The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) rates the cooling power, or capacity, of portable AC units based on their effectiveness in cooling a single room as intended. Prior to 2017, this was the accepted standard used for comparison with other types of AC units. However, it did not accurately reflect the cooling power as it did not account for the heat emitted from the unit that would circulate back into the space. The Department of Energy (DOE) Seasonally Adjusted Cooling Capacity (SACC) standard is now used to determine appropriate BTU ratings of portable AC units.)

A: Hello Les,
This portable air conditioner and user uses R-32 refrigerant.

Buyer beware.
This review has to deal more with the condition of the unit received than its performance. I purchased this unit earlier this month (4/2021) and I was really hoping it would help cool down my attic, but I was shock to see the condition of the item sent to which was purchased as a “new item”. I know items can get damaged in transportation but this item was clearly used and damaged and still sent to me. There were items missing in the box as well. As an BB Elite Plus member I was very disappointed to receive this item in this condition since it was sold to me as a new item. All I received from Best Buy was an apology but I felt like more could have been done to compensate for having to return this item that is pretty heavy. They never even ask to see how the item was received. Most companies offer a discount on your next purchase. Hopefully someone at BB will receive this and do a little more.

The heater was a bonus
My only complaint is that the remote & control panel are inconsistent. When I set the temp from the remote then try to change the temp on the panel, the system won't recognize it initially. I have to change it again on the panel - almost to reset the capability... and vice versa. This winter, I almost forgot about the heating feature and would have had to spend $200 or $300 for a new heater to heat the attic. I double checked the manual and it was running in no time.

Portobello heat pump air conditioner
Very easy to assemble, easy to use. Many people complained about the noise level, it is not extremely loud. Looking forward to testing the heat function in the winter.
