Sharp CVP12LX Portable Air Conditioner

The Bottom Line: An excellent choice for use where conventional air-conditioning isn't an option.

Review: If you read me often, you might remember that last summer we converted our totally disheveled garage into a combination workshop (for me) and design studio (for Veronica). The total makeover took about a month and resulted in a very attractive...

The Bottom Line: Highly recommend this unit to anyone needing maximum cooling in a room not already burdened by high power usage.

Review: I recently moved into a new home and allocated a room for all of my computers (I run 7 servers, 2 desktops and 2 laptops). As you can imagine, the room gets hot and the traditional AC can't keep up.

I decided it was time to buy either a...

The Bottom Line: Very nice in every way that matters to me. I'm very pleased with it.

Review: Since cutting down some trees next to our house, the central AC hasn't been able to keep pace this summer. The hottest room is the small office in the corner of the house where several computers heat up the room. I installed a roof power ventilator...

The Bottom Line: Highly recommend to anyone. Unit very quiet, efficient, easy to maintain.

Review: Since my main central AC could not cool efficiently the bedroom loft in my condo, I decided the best to do was to purchase a portable AC unit. I could not install a window unit do to condo restrictions about spoiling the look of the building.

The Bottom Line: Good Value: pricey, but you get your money's worth.

This A/C unit is rated at 11.5k BTUs, which seemed like a good fit, based on...

The Bottom Line: Would highly recommend - awesome performance, delivers as promised.

Review: Like many others, I have one room that never fully benefits from the central A/C system. Unfortunately, it is the bedroom/office so the comfort level has to be excellent; and that is non-negotiable. I live in a town home so cannot have anything...

The Bottom Line: Happy with our choice, it performs well and doesn't make a racket.

Review: After reading reviews here and other online sites, I chose this Sharp portable AC over Soleus or Delonghi. I brought it home the first day of a 100 degree heat wave (in CA) and got it set up in 15 minutes. It is heavy so I required help to get it...

Review: Purchased unit to cool my bedroom for those few hot days here in Seattle. Was immediately disappointed by a high pitched "warbling" sound after unit operates for an hour, very piercing and annoying (not the compressor hum, it's fan related). Within...

Review: I hope you get to read my comment before choosing. If like me you're new to the world of portable air conditioners, then understand that there is noise associated with any kind of HVAC equipment. The Sharp was advertised as 'library quiet,' with a...
