Model P0811 portable air conditioner, which has an 18-hour on-off timer, can be used for spot cooling or as a backup in the event of an air conditioning system crash. The unit includes a 3.8-liter built-in water reservoir with an overflow arm; when the reservoir is full, an audible and visual alarm will alert the user, and humidification will be suspended. The unit’s three-speed fan and horizontal auto-swing louvers enhance the cooling and fanning performance of the unit, and maximize energy efficiency to improve air circulation in poorly ventilated environments, the manufacturer states. It also features a washable air filter.
