I bought the portable air conditioner Amcor NanoMax A-12000E-NM a/k/a
NanoMist. The instructions were very poor quality. The page entitled
"STOP! it's important to read these easy set-up instructions" is
highly defective and missing steps, such that it simply can't be
followed and should be discarded, and the company Amcor agreed with
that on the phone. They would save customers and themselves time and
frustration simply by pulling such page from each box.

Given that poor quality, i worry that the machinery is low quality
too. But the machine seems to have functioned relatively okay in the
little i've used it. (One seller of this model shows it at webpage
<http://www.purennatural.com/prod_desc.php?prod_id=253>.)

(Generally, portable units seem to be a good idea. You can use less a/
c and energy if you can use the unit as follows: its hose must vent
out a window, but within that limitation the hose is quite flexible,
and each model probably has a directional vent, so with the hose and
the vent you can change where the a/c is pointing, 360 degrees, so
that it's right on you, night and day. Also, with a moderate amount
of hassle you can truly port the whole unit to another window.)

        You actually had to call tech support to figure out how to
turn an air conditioner on ?

        Ummm.... I don't know why you chose to burden us with your
opinion, but I actually feel like I lost 10 IQ points reading it.

        Now - go away.

At least Amcor admitted that their page of assembly instructions
omitted steps and was worse than nothing.

        So claims the guy who couldn't figure out how to work this
12,000 BTU AC unit

http://www.sylvane.com/amcor-nanomax-a12000e.html?s_kwcid=nanomax|929737586

Here's the manual he couldn't figure out. 2 pages of big pictures, a
total of 6 steps, each one with a big clear 'how to' photograph

http://www.sylvane.com/images/prodphoto/am947/NanoMax-Setup.pdf

Tricky, huh ?


Basically, a K-mart special. And a Special Ed shopper.

I wonder what steps they 'forgot' ? Maybe 'take unit out of box' ?
or 'Remove twist tie from power cord' ? How about 'Open window first'
? Or 'Insert power plug into an outlet' ?

        Give me a fucking break.

But, on reflection, at least Amcor admitted that their page of
assembly instructions omitted steps, poorly identified the 16 assembly
parts, etc., and was worse than nothing. In contrast, there are
companies that produce similarly poor work and try to tell the public
that the thing is fine.
