Bought this 2 years ago. One year later,the bottom fan shattered in pieces.
Amcor send a replacement. Being a mechanic, I replaced it myself and from a maintenance point of view this is one of the worst I've seen.
the plastic used to make these fans is very brittle and with temperature variations over time combined with a very weak structure make it very prone to vibrations and eventually failure will occur.In my case the bottom fan didn't last more than 100 hours of operation the first year and not more than 75 the second time.The upper fan however is more sturdy and of a different design did not failed yet.Having spend 700 dollars, I will have to find a better fan of same dimensions and modify it to fit it in.Not very complicated for a mechanic but if you hate getting your hands dirty , you should look for alternatives.
lastly, my old 10000BTU Maytag window unit cooled down my apartment faster and quieter than the plasma cool.
the only good thing about it are its looks.
Before you go and buy, please read as may reviews as you can.I know I should have.
