About the Shinco SPF2 Portable Air Conditioner with Heat
The SPF2 with heat is the 10,000 BTU SPF2 with a fourth mode. In summer it cools a room up to 400 square feet at 10,000 BTU by the ASHRAE test, 6,450 BTU by the DOE seasonal test. When the nights turn cold you switch the same unit to Heat. Its heat carries no separate BTU rating, so size it by the cooling numbers.
Dry mode removes moisture with no bucket to empty (up to 36 liters a day, evaporated through the exhaust hose), and the fan runs at three speeds. The gray body stands 32.68 inches tall on four casters.
A unit that heats as well as cools draws heavy current all year round. Plug it straight into a wall outlet, never into an extension cord or a power strip.
The SPF2 Portable Air Conditioner with Heat is part of the Shinco lineup.

Two figures to keep in mind with any portable air conditioner: the seasonal rating the Department of Energy defines, and the wall outlet it plugs into.
