I've read that you should always add 4000 BTUs to an AC which will be used in a kitchen. Is this device good for my 15 x 12 eat in kitchen?

I've been using mine in a 26x12 room which includes the kitchen and dining area,and I find it to be more than adequate. I normally keep it on the "dehumidify" setting unless I've been away from home on a hot day; then I put it on "cool" "high" for a couple of hours to cool down the room. It faces my dining room table which would freeze anyone sitting in front of it, so I taped on a clear plastic, adjustable length, deflector made for heat vents and aimed it at the ceiling. That was a huge improvement. Like every air conditioner I've used, the adjustable louvers on the unit do almost nothing. This unit is surprisingly quiet and I've been very pleased with it.

It very much depends. If your goal is to be cold while cooking, it is a bit light. If you have a good hood and use it to keep grease out of the air (which will kill any AC unit in short order), it will be just fine.

I purchased this AC for our 20 x 25 bedroom. I keep the temperature on 74 to 76 degrees and it keeps the room cool. I'm very happy with the quality and it's ability to keep our bedroom cool. I've never heard the rule of buying an AC 4000 BTUs larger than you think you need. I hope this was of help to you.

1500 watts = 5119 BTU/hr but the actual electrical current used and converted to heat varies with the line voltage. The 1500 watt rating probably assumes a line voltage of 120v. I would assume about 5000 BTU/hr.

The 60000 btu would work great. It is over sized but for the priceit is worth it. I have 750 sq ft garage with 12ft ceiling and it heats it up fast. Less strain on the unit.

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 have been using it for a 12000 btu through the wall air conditioning unit, and it works fine.

I took a look at my Dork Food specifications and it states that my unit is 120V AC both input output and with max 15 Amps. As an aside it works like a charm. If you decide on this unit I would suggest you get the largest slow cooker you can find. That was my only draw back. You will find that you will want to do larger items or multiple items and you just won't have the capacity. If you still are interested in the Dork use a small aquarium vibrator pump and air stone to keep the water circulating. I finally went to the PolyScience circulator and heat which is a quantum leap and just about perfect. $240 discounted.

I'm not well-versed on BTU's and watts comparison. I can, however, support the answer by Randolph Eck. I agree that this heater does not adequately or quickly heat 800 sq ft. It would be an okay heater for a small bedroom or bathroom, if you don't mind the beeping when you push the buttons. But, I would suggest buying a smaller space heater in the $30 to $60 range instead of this one, if price is a factor.

I don't think that BTU rating is an accurate measurement for regulators such as this. The BTUs have a lot to do with the burners on the business end. That said, I can tell you that I put this one on a Camp Chef stove which has three 30,000 BTU burners. It works great. Hope this helps.

It depends on the size of your AC 10,000 BTU 16,000BTU ?? Should work on 10,000 or less. I would contact the Ramsond guys as they will replace it if it is defective. I have never had a problem with mine.

I'm sure that is max for the unit. Using two 1200W devices isn't the problem, the issue would be how many amps they'll draw when in use. For example, if you connected two 1200W grills, it'll not work due to the amps.

It depends on the a/c unit. Remember the start up power of the unit is going to be considerably higher than the wattage that the a/c states that it uses. Generally, 1600w is rather small for this use. I hope you have really good batteries for power source. A/C will drain then fast

I was using a 6500 BTU unit for a meat cooler long before I heard of the CoolBot system. When I bought the CoolBot I figured I had nothing to loose by hooking up the old 6500 AC. They recommended a 12-12,500 BTU unit for my size cooler. The smaller unit froze up. It just wasn't enough to handle the colder temps.Go to their website. They tell you the capacity you need, and also the brand and models to avoid. I was about to order a 12,200 BTU unit when I read their data again and they said never to buy that model. It was not sufficient and would not work. I followed their brand rec. and my unit works like a charm. There is about 4-5 years of customer info on the website. Hope this helps.Roy210-508-8600 I was using a 6500 BTU unit for a meat cooler long before I heard of the CoolBot system.

I have a 30 X 10" and it puts out about 108000 btus with a half inch connection. I have a 3/4" supply line.

My home is 1600 sq ft. I have a 4 Ton a/c, + 4,000 watt condenser running 24/7, plus a 1 horse-1500 watt pump running my pool filter 7 hrs/day running during the summer months, plus two refrigerators, etc. running continuously, and it's enough. I have hot water heat, not electric. My husband said you need to do a load calculation and give more information, i.e, do you have central a/c, is your heat electric? etc., in order to give you an adequate answer. Best regards, Sprity

1500 watts equals 5118 BTUs. I bought this heater last year and it died after about 3 months so I wouldn't recommend buying it.

Apparently it will work. I have a 10000 btu and a 15000 btu AC and it works with both of them. Hope this helps.

I would believe this is 13000 BTU. I have the unit and it cools my 20' x20' room. I would not count on more than that for this unit.
