This unit is the most powerful on the market for its small size.It plugs straight into a normal 13amp socket. It produces 18000btu (5.2Kw) of cooling and heating yet uses less than 2Kw of electricity. We bought ours for use in a large office and it has proved very efficient. The best thing is you can speak on the phone whilst it is running because it is not as noisy as some less powerful units. We are now planning to get another for our server room. One of the useful design features is that it has an extra pump built in so that even if the room is really humid this unit will not produce water that ends up having to be emptied from a bucket. Under normal conditions the water will be ejected down the exhaust hose but if its really humid the extra pump kicks in and pumps the water away. Koolbreeze units are not the cheapest but they are reliable. I bought a smaller one back in 2007 which is still working. This new larger unit is really a breakthrough in the amount of cooling you can get from a small machine

We get sun pouring in through the big windows of our office so I wanted something really powerful to keep the heat down. I was amazed at how small the Koolbreeze Kompact 18 is considering it produces 5.2Kw of output (cool or heat). Units like this are usually twice the size (and twice the cost)so I was surprised at the good quality of the body and how quiet it is. You can work in the office and forget that it is on. It comes with all the accessories you need so you just put the hose out the window or a door and plug it in. I bought mine from Climate King who delivered within 48 hours. I have not had to use the backup service so I cannot comment but the staff there were happy to give advice on the correct unit for the size of room. I have had a wall unit made by Koolbreeze before and that was very good. This latest portable unit is just so good that it leaves the competition behind.
