Others say...
"bad quality or packing" Item was broken when delivered so we did not have a chance to test it out. we returned it and got another AC "DON'T BUY, Leaks!" As mentioned before, this air conditioner which has "self-evaporating technology" that means you'll "never empty a bucket" is entirely wrong. Unit was bought for my aging parents, who can't manage emptying buckets of water, especially when it requires emptying every 2-3 hours! The only good thing about this purchase was that Amazon makes it very easy to return. Unless you really don't mind the leaking and noise (again, mentioned by others), save yourself the hassle and stay away from this air conditioner! "The WORST AC EVER" This is positively the WORST AC I ever had. It doesn't cool anything (well, to be fair, maybe the area immediately around the device), needs babysitting (the water tank needs to be emptied every hour or so, depending on the humidity level), and makes SO MUCH noise! You can't have this on and speak on the phone. I returned it two days after plugging it in... to avoid at all costs! "Weak, noisy, and poorly designed - Do Not Buy" The unit is weaker than a regular fan in terms of cold air output. It's a joke. I gave it two stars for the free shipping and price before I tested it and compared to other units that my friends have. It really should be zero-star. The vent flap is of a flawed design, so semi-cool air you get drops right down to the ground regardless of flap position. The temp sensor was defective on my unit, automatically dropping as the unit ran, even as the actual room temp stayed the same. It was quite comical to have the unit tell me the room was 70 degrees when it was 92. The unit is noisier (air speed noise) than I would expect though to be fair it probably is as loud as the specs indicate. It did leak on me once, but only a tiny bit. Clearly it overflows before shutting off. I probably would have had more leaks if it had been working right and actually producing cold air (and therefore condensation). Do not buy this unit. Read the reviews and go elsewhere. "We love it!" This unit is a powerhouse ... cools our finished basement quickly. It is true that it is noisy but we quickly got used to that. I work from home on the phone and it hasn't troubled me much and no one has complained. It does drain quite a lot of water, but we solved this by putting it up on an old end table, attached a hose to the drain into a 5 gallon water jug that we empty twice/week. There are some concessions as far as noise and water management, but we got it at 318.00 which is way less than the investment of central air though the unit performs to a similar comfort level. We plan to replace our window units once they go on sale again!

What our customer's say! "Absolute Meltdown", Royal Sovereign ARP-1003E Portable Air Conditioner 10,000 BTU This is one of the worst items offered through Amazon - and one of the few I've returned. It's noisier than a busted muffler, shuts off every half-hour when the tiny, tiny water container fills up - and gives you no way to easily empty out the collected water. If that's not bad enough, it also does a very poor job of cooling a small room - and it's a cumbersome pig that weighs a good 60 pounds more than its advertised 20-pound weight. Terrible appliance. "BEWARE!!!! Do NOT buy this unit!!!!", Bought this unit a few weeks ago. It came damaged but still works. I can relate to the big spot of water on the floor. It was very humid this past weekend and all of a sudden I couldn't adjust temp, adjust fan, etc. Then I found out the remote made it work ok, BUT that's the night it dumped on the floor. So, what, I can't operate the unit properly and cool the room if it's too humid?? Call me stupid, but now I have to empty the water out of it?!?! Let me know if the hose/clamp idea works - I may need to do that! I would think twice about getting another unit like this. Or buy it local so it's easy to return! "DON'T BUY THIS UNIT", WE BOUGHT THIS UNIT AND IT COOLS GREAT BUT AFTER ONLY THREE WEEKS.I WENT TO TURN ON THE UNIT AND IT MADE THIS TERRIBLE GRINDING SOUND AS IF THE FAN IS BROKEN.WILL SEND IT BACK FOR A FULL REFUND. "Buyer Beware", At first I was thrilled with this machine. Easily moved, great cooling and seemed to be a solid machine. After two weeks of occasional use the fan broke...I mean literally broke and sent pieces through the exhaust pipe. I sent it back for a refund. I don't know whether maybe it was just a lemon or poorly built. "Cool, but horible noise on startup", This unit does it job in cooling, but it has this horrible noise on startup. This noise occur every time I turn off the AC and turn it back on. This kinda suck because there are time when I want to turn off the AC unit for a bit to save some energy. 
Read this reviews before You buy... "Not quite perfect", I purchased this based on the price point and the fact it fit my needs for my space. However, it had several problems, which make me rate it low. First, it arrived with a side panel not correctly installed. One screwdriver and 5 minutes later, all fixed. This did not affect the performance, but did effect the look of the unit. When turned on, the unit is supposed to run until it fills its internal reservoir, beep and stop until emptied. Instead, it failed to stop when full, overflowing the reservoir and spilling water onto my wood floor. Now the boards are warped where the unit was. When I finally setup a continuous drain situation, it ran and drained as expected. After running it on AC overnight, it did not overflow and cooled the room. However, when I went to turn it off via the button menu on the top, it did not respond to any commands. I had to reset it at the wall plug and unplug it entirely to stop it from running. This does not bode well for the quality and I plan on contacting the company for a resolution. Will update when I have additional information. "First a warning", In humid weather the AC turns itself off quickly with a loud beep and a WATER FULL light goes on. The outlet for the water is very near the ground, it is hard to find anything low enough and yet large enough to release the water into and you'd have to do it several times each humid day. I rigged a hose coming off the outlet and into a plastic wastebasket. The hose has to point downwards to drain so that meant cutting a hole into the basket just above the bottom, inserting tubing and sealing it with silicone sealant The "Self evaporative technology-no messy buckets to empty" description is clearly misleading unless you are in the desert (and then you should just get a swamp cooler). I've run the AC for many days with this rigged hook-up and just unhook it and empty the basket once a day. So with that part aside the AC works great. This is the first portable AC I've owned and I heard they were less efficient than comparable window units. I had a 10,000 btu window unit for my large living room but the adjoining kitchen with slider windows was miserable. I got this unit for the kitchen hoping it might also cool a side room. I don't even use my living room window unit since I got this. This Royal Sovereign cools the kitchen, living room and side rooms on it's own even on low setting, with a little help from small fans to redirect air. Great surprise. It is occasionally noisy so that could become a problem. "Leaks water everywhere", The other reviewers that said the same thing I am about to say are dead on. This unit leaks water all over my floor! Even after I drain the water out (which is VERY hard to do and it spilled everywhere when I did it) I put a metal pan underneath and just left it there. Within a couple hours of use the metal pan was FULL of water, even though I had previously drained it and so the tank should not have been full!!! Also, it doesn't really cool my bedroom, it just blows out ice cold air, which on a hot day, feels good, but doesn't actually accomplish what I want it to. The unit is noisy and hard to tolerate at night when I'm trying to sleep which is the main reason I purchased it. The other flaw it has is that it doesn't fully fit my window. There is a tall gap at the top and so the air can just leak out the window.... Don't buy this one. I purchased it because Walmart was offering a special deal, it was only $318. Now I'm sorry I did it and wished I had saved up for a nicer unit!!! "Wish I could tell you how it works", Received air conditioner and 2 of the caster wheels were broke off. Have been trying to get the Royal Sovereign company to send out replacements, I have called the 800 number about 15 times. They do not return my phone calls. I have left several messages with all the information they could possibly need INCLUDING A RETURN PHONE NUMBER. So we have been really hot, as you can't use the unit. There are two metal prongs sticking out of the bottom without wheels, so have to place a thick pad under them just to keep unit in upright position and not scratch the floor. Tried to buy replacement wheels at hardware store, but none will fit this unit. So 3 weeks later am stuck with an expensive unit that we don't even know works or not. I think the company lacks customer support and after sale assistance. Would think again before buying this particular brand of air conditioner. Am getting pretty impatient waiting for something so easily shipped as 2 caster wheels! "Cools the room but a poor design", Ok well I ordered two portable units at the same time - this one and a Sharp CV-P10MX. They both seem to have about the same cooling capacity although I have the Sharp in a smaller room so that point is quite hard to compare fairly. That is really where the similarities end because in all other aspects the Sharp CV-P10MX is considerably better! Here's why... Firstly the appearance of the Royal Sovereign is so ugly! Not only that but it's considerably larger and heavier than the Sharp. It gets much wider at the top which means it doesn't fit into conventional spaces very well and is made from dark grey and light grey cheap looking, badly finished plastic. Honestly this looks like something that was assembled in the 80's. Another bad part of the design is that the outlet hose comes out the back of the unit so has to be at least 8 inches from the wall. Secondly the noise is very loud - this is at least twice as loud as the Sharp I bought and is certainly not something you could fall asleep easily with. Thirdly, although it is advertised as a self evaporating unit, on a humid day you should expect to drain it at intervals of around 1.5-4 hours at a time and as other reviewers have said the drain hole is very low which makes the process quite fiddly and messy! On less humid days it seems to run fine for quite a while without the need to be drained. The bottom line is it works but I really wished I'd bought two Sharp CV-P10MX units because although this was a bit cheaper it really wasn't worth the saving I made. |
