There’s no doubt that some like it hot. But most people prefer to stay cool when the sweltering heat arrives and it’s easy to do with this hard-working appliance by Danby. This top-of-the-line machine is basically a portable home-comfort system as it can handle three different tasks. You’ll find a fan, dehumidifier and air conditioner all conveniently rolled into one unit. No matter what weather Mother Nature serves up you’ll be prepared for it all year long. The ultra-modern three-in-one device has a capacity of 12,000 BTU’s and can cover an area of up to 550 square feet, making it ideal for any room in your home or office. This model is programmed and monitored by state-of-the-art electronic controls and LED display and can also be accessed by convenient remote control. The large-capacity dehumidifier unit removes up to 54 pints of unwanted moisture each day via its direct-drain system. The powerful fan boasts three separate speed options and the appliance runs on environmentally-friendly R410A refrigerant. There’s an intelligent automatic on/off switch which allows you to start and stop the device to suit your schedule and the handy integrated castors and handles enable you to easily and quickly move it from room to room. This high-tech model also features a 12-month parts and labor warranty with in-home service.

FAQs
Square feet is calculated by multiplying the length by the width. For example, a room that is 10 feet long by 25 feet wide is 250 square feet.
The ionizer feature safely creates a localized charge to collect more particulates from the air.
ISTA-6 packaging refers to the type of packaging used to reduce damage when shipping.
Danby air conditioners are designed to cool a single room and not multiple rooms. Any walls or doors will interfere with the air flow.
Danby portable air conditioners have a sound rating from 38 decibels to 56 decibels. The exact decibel range is determined by the model of the unit and the mode (fan, cool or heat if available with the model). Danby also has a patented Silencer Technology available on several models that will keep your home cool and comfortable while operating at a 46 decibel to 49 decibel range.
You should always use it during cooling and heating. In most models it should be removed while using fan and dry mode as it is not required. Please consult your owner’s manuals for more details.

On most models with heat mode, it is advised to use the hose for direct drain. This will ensure the pan does not fill up too quickly.
When selected, this automatically sets the appropriate option for your room based on the ambient temperature. For example, if it is 15°C outside, the unit would flip to fan mode. If it is set to 30°C, the unit would revert back to cooling mode.
The water drains from the drainage port. If you are not using the continuous drain, the internal pan drains from the bottom outlet. Consult your owner’s manual for more information.
During heat mode, dry mode or continuous draining. Please consult your owner’s manuals for more details.
This is not recommended, as the unit is built to operate using the drain hose/power cord provided.
Units with three drainage ports are units which also feature heat mode. The bottom drainage port empties the internal pan, the middle port is for continuous drain during heat and the top port is for continuous drain during dry mode. Please consult your owner’s manual for more detail.
Dual hose models have an intake and exhaust hose. With single hose models, the hose exhausts and the air that is to be “conditioned” is taken in from the room through the unit.
No, this is not recommended. Please bring your AC unit indoors during the winter months.
There are a few things to check to ensure this doesn't happen:
- Ensure that the hose is properly installed at both ends and this should minimize heat escape
- Ensure the hose is not over extended. Keep the unit as close the window/patio as possible
- Ensure the unit is in an area where it's getting lots of air circulation, which allows the unit to run cooler and results in less heat escaping.
If the heat is escaping from the exhaust port then the hose is either restricted or not installed properly.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to completely stop all heat loss from escaping.
