Product Description
One of the most respected manufacturers of portable air conditioners has improved on a classic! The Amcor NanoMax A12000E Portable Air Conditioner with auto-evaporative NanoMist technology now offers the proven performance of the Amcor line with the convenience of automated condensation disposal. The collected condensation is evaporated away through the hot air exhaust hose, leaving you free to enjoy the refreshing cool air without regularly emptying a water bucket. Small but mighty with 12,000 BTUs of cooling power! Don't let the sleek, compact silver case fool you - the Amcor NanoMax A12000E is not petite when it comes to performance. Good for areas up to 400 square feet, it also features a built-in timer, LED screen, remote control, and a thermostat range of 62 - 90F. Amcor offers a one year limited warranty on this product. A small reserve tank is built into the unit in case of use in areas with excessive humidity (85% or greater). Under those conditions, the auto-evaporative function may be unable to dispose of all the collected condensation.Power Supply: 115 V / 60 HzPower consumption: 680 - 830 WattsCurrent range: 6.8 - 7.9 AmpsDehumidification: Up to 50 pints in 24 hoursRefrigerant: R22Rotary CompressorTwo fan speeds1 - 12 Hour timerLED ScreenAuto Shut-offThermostat Range: 62 - 90FDimensions: 12'' W x 15'' D x 30''HProduct weight: 50 pounds

 STAY AWAY from AMCOR and Their Products. September 23, 2008

The Unit is JUNK. The customer service is THE PITS.
When the AC works, the unit is LOUD but cools as advertised.
But my unit (as did apparently several other customers' units) failed (the compressor) before it reached 40 hours of usage. When I called AMCOR for a warranty replacement I got a customer service voice recording saying someone would call me back within three business days. And that's exactly how long they took to call me back to see what was wrong. What?!
Then, they charged me a hundred bucks for shipping. Junk product with poor customer service and ridiculous warranty terms = AVOID AMCOR.
Horrible Customer Service July 17, 2008

[ASIN:B000RFXZUK Amcor NanoMaxA12000E 12,000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Electronic Controls]]
I set up the unit and found that when it enters a cooling cycle the compressor made a horrible noise. Called Amcor customer service, explained the problem and they told me that it takes 3 to 5 days to get a return call from Tech Support. Called the company that sent the unit, they contacted Amcor and were told that I needed to call Amcor for a replacement and that it would be handled right away. I promptly called Amcor again and was informed that customer service cannot approve a replacement and that I need to still wait 3 to 5 days from Tech Support to call back and maybe authorize a replacement.
I do not recommend this product or any other Amcor product due to the poor customer service.
 Amcor Nano-Max A12000E June 22, 2008
This unit works great so long as you can have blower directed towards you.Cool air-stream but compressor never shuts off.Very economical as it draws just 8 Amps which means the EER(cooling efficiency) of rotary compressor is very high.Best advice is to draw all shades in room to prevent ambient sun-light,cool down room using whole house A/C-down to 85 F(30 minutes approx.) say,and then switch to this unit.It will now keep room temp to below this all day.Handy self-evaporative feature is a breeze but need to keep hose un-kinked and well insulated(around window attachment) so exhaust doesn't re-circulate.Over-all a very light and quiet unit that simply gets the job done.Can't understand negative 1 * of another reviewer here-must be a faulty unit or didn't understand operating instructions.Most people don't understand that portable room A/c's best function by reducing humidity=Added comfort and cooling is just an added plus.
Better than a fan June 21, 2008

Goldengate's review is pretty much on the mark. I'm also from the Bay Area and purchased this during one of our rare heatwaves. Our master bedroom has 12' ceilings, and this did a fine job of keeping us cool throughout the night. Standing directly in front of the unit, it'll feel just like AC; walk away and you will just notice the room is cooler. The nano mist technology works terrific--we haven't had to drain it yet, though it is recommended to do so at the end of the season, before storage. Very portable--slim, streamlined design.
All in all, it will work far better than a fan, but don't expect the polar ice caps. I am satisfied as it only gets up to the upper 90's here--but if you live in, say, Arizona, I would recommend buying something else. For reference, we paid $299 at Home Depot.
 Great little air conditioner June 15, 2008
We like it so much we just ordered another one. We'll keep one in the bedroom; and as needed, swap the 2nd unit between two other rooms at opposite ends of the house. This unit only weighs about 50 pounds, it's easy roll it around the house. If you have one large living area, one might do you, but our house is chopped up into many small rooms, so we think we'll be better served with two.
