Copp Sun, 10 Jan 2010 10:28:29 +0000 http://small-heaters.com/kenwood-kw85-portable-air-conditioner/#comment-3736 In the UK we had the "Trades Description Act", whereby if somebody over there sold you an air conditioner that actually made the room hotter you could sue! This is a piss poor unit, badly made, badly put together, badly designed, it is a BAD buy! Kenwood had such a good name..........once! Switch your manufacturing to China and you suffer the consequences! Avoid this like the plague, save up a bit more, wait a bit, suck ice from the fridge, anything but buy this crappy little thing! Wait until you can afford the real deal, go to a store, test and try before you buy! The Internet is NOT the best place to buy stuff like this. CDs...yes! Books...yes! Get a proper unit from an American company!! Get in yer car, drive downtown, find a family firm, ask for "Pop" or "Mom", listen to their advice, pay a bit more and you will get the benefit of their experience!

Krasnoriadtsev Sun, 10 Jan 2010 09:53:16 +0000 http://small-heaters.com/kenwood-kw85-portable-air-conditioner/#comment-3735 I've got this conditioner from Lowes, and I also got Maytag 9000 Btu Portable Conditioner from HomeDepot. I put them both in one room to compare. <br />Kenwood's fan is weaker then Maytag's but we descided to keep KW85 as it's less noisy, and it is important for us, because it'll be placed in baby's room.

White Sun, 10 Jan 2010 06:55:15 +0000 http://small-heaters.com/kenwood-kw85-portable-air-conditioner/#comment-3734 My husband and I bought this portable unit for a good price to assist in cooling our furnished and well insulated attic. We have a small window unit in place, but since temps have risen over 90 degrees it was not quite doing the job. When we hooked up this portable unit, it did not make the attic any cooler- in fact it increased the temperature! We ran the unit all day, thinking maybe it needed time to cool the air. The temperature in the attic never got below 90 degrees. We just turned it off about 15 minutes ago, and already the temperature has dropped. It does not have good cool air output (weak fan), and the exhaust hose produces so much heat that it seems to countereffect what little cool air it does put out. Please save yourself the headache of hauling this heavy thing into your house only to be disappointed. Buy something else.

This unit arrived with the box falling apart and was delivered upside down because the bottom was falling open. Parts were missing and the unit was broken. <br /> <br />This is not the type of unit you want to purchase and have delivered across the country. <br /> <br />I called Amazon (In India) and after several calls was able to get them to replace the unit with the Delonghi. <br /> Rating: 2 / 5 Like others have said before me, the Engineer that designed the packaging for this unit needs to go back and get his degree again.

This is not the type of unit you want to purchase and have delivered across the country.

Upon arrival, the stove was banged around during shipping and did not sit level upon a flat surface. I was able to file down the offending leg slightly and now it sits rock solid level. In operation, this stove gets hellishly hot, it can boil a full pot of water in minutes. The 6 ft gas hose is rather sticky and smells of plastic resins and chemicals. This stove works well, has a full range of adjustment and puts out sufficent heat for pressure canning purposes. You can set a large pot on this unit with the controls being accessable. <br /> Rating: 3 / 5 I purchased the Big Bertha stove to fire up a large (7 quart jar capacity) pressure cooker for canning.

You can <br />adjust it according to your need. It is very stable and strong, the only thing which is not very good is the black knob for on/off switch. It seems made of poor quality material. <br /> <br /> Rating: 4 / 5 I am very very happy with this stove. very good control of heat. You can

The smoke box is 20x20x48 - so pretty large. So far this burner works well It has a large surface area so produces plenty of heat without being a high pressure burner like in a turkey fryer. It will put out plenty of heat to get the metal box and meat heated to temp (225 or so) and then can still back down to maintain that heat without over heating. The click start is ok, not a real big deal to have it, but nice. For the money it seemed to be the best bet. Rating: 4 / 5 I bought this burner to use in a home built, propane powered meat smoker.

I was frustrated with the smaller burner I had as it would take over 2 hours to melt 30lbs of lead. This burner is very stable and had a 30 pound pot of lead melted to 600 degrees in just 40 minutes, and with the flame control, I could easily set the heat down to keep the temperature constant. Wish I had bought this a year ago. It attached easily to a standard propane tank for the grill. Electric start does not always fire it up on the first try, but I have never known an electric start to work 100% anyway. Rating: 5 / 5 I purchased this burner to melt lead in a large cast iron pot.
