We have a 9x24 foot shop. Gets very hot when using dryers. Had 15000btu window unit. Will 18000 unit be able to keep it cool? Window unit struggled.

I have mine in a 9x40 foot container and it works great, only kicks on for a few minutes maybe 10x a day... hope this helps

There are various BTU calculators available on the internet which take into account other conditions such as insulation, sun exposure, etc. It would seem that 18,000 would be plenty even if area were poorly insulated. However, not sure how much heat your dryers produce. Also, keep in mind that these mini-splits are far more efficient than window units.

I would not waste my $.. I'm having problems w/ my dryer not heating sometimes.. Plus it don't have a strong fan that blows the air.. I previously had a larger Vidal Sasson dryer it lasted for years.. Not this one I'm totally dissatisfied.

Mine does the same thing as Ria's. It's never a problem and I don't have to use the heat setting either. I, too, assumed it was just part of the dryer mechanics because I wouldn't think to use a cool temp. It's been a wonderful thing to have...I have 3 dogs ( a golden, a lab/border, & a border) that I use it on.

I can not answer for the 1100,mine is a 500.I do not have a problem with heat with my 500 for what I use it for.There is a fan inside the unit I would think it would take care of your unit.

High! All electric heaters on 220 are not efficient. Just depending on how much you run it. I have a 22x22 garage that I heat just when I'm working in there, works great! But if you leave it on for a long period of time it can get expensive.

Yes ...cause you can use it on low and won't have to use the full power of the air conditioning unit... I went from a 8000 but to a 12000btu and on the hottest day its on low plus I keep it on Energy saving mode and I love it ;-) less stress on the unit = a longer usage :-)

It's the best dryer I have ever had.It blows very hard which is a feature I have to have. Yes very hot.

I agree with the previous responder. The 1110 watt load is marginal for the unit. I would use the 1800 watt unit.

We built a 12'x10' office in our warehouse and insulated it very well. The heat works great and the ac works good considering it can get up to 115 degrees here in the summer. It is a quality product. I think it should work for you but it very rarely gets below freezing here.

I have not seen this dryer over heat. I love the dryer. It is very powerful. They say it is whisper quiet, But that isn't true. Although it isn't very quiet. I love it!

You definitely need to vent the hot air out of the area you want to cool. Bottom line if you don't have a window to vent the hot air this ac unit would be useless to you.

I personally think all window units are noisy. We have a newer one in our bedroom and use this model in the dinning room and it does a surprising good job at cooling the whole ground floor of our 5,500 sq ft home. It's about as loud as the one in our bedroom but puts out much more cold air.

But-of-course, you'll have to supply the Charles De Gaulle accent locally :-)). You have almost described my installation less the 15' form dryer part. I have discovered that there is a sensitivity to gusts of wind that don't seem to be adjustable. :-(, or the wind has a better path for my installation. Not too much bother, BUT, not perfect. According to instruction I believe you have better than 25' + whatever the Ls add as leeway.

We are actually using two of the AC12000 units - one purchased last year, one this year - in two different parts of the house. The second unit went into operation during the recent heat wave so, yes, our electric bills did go up. Both units were running full time. I have found them to be very useful, since their output may be directed more freely than that of window mounted units. It helps to "back up" the window panel of the unit with insulation and, of course, to close off the inter-pane space to prevent outside air intrusion.

I think the unit is too small for that size room. If I am not mistaken sunbean has another units for larger rooms. I use it in a 30 square foot room, it makes the room very hot , but this might not be the case in a larger room.

The unit says 2000 - 2400w. It has cool, warm & hot settings, with two fan speeds. I find it to be on the quieter side. I am so happy with this dryer.

It will not make make your existing unit work better. This unit is designed to defeat the minimum 65F temp rating of window air conditioners, allowing them to run to a cooler temp. It will not make a unit that cannot cool to 70F actually cool to 70F.
