Multi-Color VFD Display Unlike a LCD display, a VFD display is an active device providing a brilliant, eye catching glow in a wide spectrum of colors. Generating its own light, a VFD display is brighter than an LCD, offers more contrast, and is easier to read in direct sunlight.
No water Bucket to Empty Using evaporative technology, the collected moisture is recycled and eliminated through the exhaust duct. For extremely humid conditions, there is an emergency holding tank with a drainage port on the back to prevent potential water damage to carpet or floors.

They're horribly inefficient, and your electricity bills will reflect that. But on a hot summer's night if it means you can get a good nights sleep it's probably worth it.
+3 votesHear Hear! I own 2 different brands (one reputable and one no-name) and both have greatly improved the quality of my families life in a rental during the Brisbane summer immensley. So long as people read the specs and understand the limitations they are great (ie noisy, power hungry, limited to x square metres room size).
Incidently, I have been told evaporative coolers are pretty good in dry conditions out west. But all i know first hand is that in Brisbane they only cool you down if you accidentally spill some of the water on yourself.

i been out to the Nightingale clearance center late last year, that warehouse is enormous!. Hopefully we get a few deals posted here, because some shelf prices were really ordinary(mainly on the tv's there, 42inch hd plasma for $899)
Anyways, this is a good deal, price is good, pickup not too hard, 10 mins from west gate bridge roughly, if that.
can you guys do anything good on a 32inch full HD LCD?, i need one carton damage/broken housing, need a panel for a project :)

Put your 'redneck' hat on and you could try a makeshift reverse-cycle by shoving the indoor unit outside with the exhaust hose pointing into the house :D
Alright, this is dodgey stuff. You've got the same username as the poster above you and you've only been registered for a few minutes.
I think it's right to assume there's a 'lovethedeal'1 through 8 at least.What's the deal? You sockpuppeting or something?
Mods, sort this out.
+2 votesive got one of these units. paid about 400$ 2 years ago. ideal for small/med room. Cant say the dehumidifier does anything special but the aircon is decent. Comes with hose to vent out hot air externally. All in all decent quality, 2 years on still going strong.

All refridgerative airconditioners "dry" the air.. as anyone who has worn contact lenses in an air-conditioned office will testify. Some bright spark in a marketting department just thought "since it's taking moisture out of the air, why not call it a "dehumidifier" and sell it as an added feature?"
+3 votesBe careful buying from this company. if the product comes to you broken, they will expect you to pay postage back. They state they only sell new products but a recent visit to their wharehouse many products had obviously been opened with a crude attempt made at resealing them. They are dishonest and will lie if it suits them. This is based on personal experience. Weigh up saving a few dollars compared with buying from a more reputable company. They have also been caught by 4corners program importing cheap airconditioners with false electricity consumption ratings. Think carefully before getting such a heavy product shipped to you, especially if you are interstate.
