THE NUMBERS
13.5k BTU draws about 9 amps when running at full blast. For some reason the amp jumps within 0.5 amp.
It has all soft start, so you don't hear traditional thuds.
I had the unit running in my garage yesterday for > 2 hr and did not have water drips (not that with 6% humidity water last long here)
The only complain I have is that remote display is not very clear.
I have 5 modes for operation and all of them have icons only, who are not clear to interpret. I might have to make additional label for it.
