Good Points

Very efficient at cooling rooms quickly.


Bad Points

Produces a very bad & annoying plastic smell.
Plastic panel that inserts into the window melts/warps very easily.


General Comments

Initially I thought the Hotpoint Mac 130 was a fantastic portable airconditioner -- until I found the plastic window panel for the exhaust had completely warped out of shape after just 48 hours of having purchased this aircon.

I took the unit back to the store -- they recommended we exchange the entire unit rather than just the window panel, incase the unit was faulty & running too hot.

24 hours (overnight) after getting the new unit, the window panel had warped completely out of shape. It had been running in a very small & completely sealed room, so it certainly wasn't pushing it's 3.6kw capability to the limits.

Ended up returning the unit, getting a refund & going hunting elsewhere. Would never recommend this aircon to anyone else.
