I have one of those too. It’s nice at night, cuts down on the FL humidity after a few hours. But in the middle of the day when it’s 90F and sunny, it will only drop the temp like 2F but the humidity drop can still be nice. The garage has shit insulation and a couple small vents though. Plus my power bill goes $$$ and if I park a car with a warm engine in there, it negates like 3 hours of AC cooling.

Just read the label and this is R410 or some shit.

I’m not sure what it is. I turned it on and the fan runs, but no compressor and the fan that blows hot air out the back was off. Then 5min in the compressor turns on and I get cold air from the front and hot air blowing out the exhaust like it should for 2min. Then the compressor turns off, getting room temp air from the main fan, the exhaust fan is still blowing out but not hot anymore because no compressor.

Before people said low refrigerant but I don’t see anywhere to possibly refill the thing. Looks like maybe they filled it at the factory and then clamped the little copper pipe. It got nice and cold for the minute or two the compressor was on so I don’t know.
