The Soleus Air KY2-34 Portable Air Conditioner and Heater is a convenient 5-in-1 home comfort system that is ideal for keeping spaces up to 400 square feet comfortable regardless of the season. This portable air conditioner features an air conditioning mode, heating mode, dehumidifying mode, fan-only mode, and an intuitive auto mode. In addition to these five distinct operation modes, it also comes with a sleep mode that quietly maintains the comfort of your room even while you sleep.
Featuring 12,000 BTUs of cooling power and 12,200 BTUs of heating power, the Soleus Air KY2-34 also comes with a variety of user-friendly features like a convenient remote control, an easy-to-read digital display with soft-touch controls, a 24-hour programmable timer, and a washable air filter to remove unwanted airborne particles. Innovative enhancements to this multitasking portable AC, such as evaporative technology and heat pump technology, ensure that you never need to empty a water bucket and energy consumption is reduced.
This Soleus portable air conditioner is exceptionally simple to operate. Thanks to a digital, multi-color display, you can quickly and accurately view the room temperature and other AC settings. Soft-touch controls allow you to easily toggle between operation modes, adjust thermostat settings, and choose among three powerful fan speeds—Low, Medium, and High. There is also an Auto fan speed that helps take the guesswork out of choosing the best fan speed for the environment’s conditions.The Soleus Air KY2-34 also comes with a 24-hour programmable timer that takes the hassle out of constantly adjusting your settings.
Many portable air conditioners can boast that they dehumidify your area while cooling it. However, the Soleus Air KY2-34 is one of the few portable ACs that can actually keep your environment comfortable regardless of the season. This portable air conditioner comes with the following effective modes of operation:
This Soleus KY2-34 also has a Sleep mode that can only be used with the remote control. In Sleep mode, the portable AC’s fan will operate on the lowest speed to produce the least amount of noise. If the air conditioner is being used during sleep hours, Sleep mode will gradually increase the temperature setting to 2 degrees Fahrenheit above the original temperature for six hours. After six hours, the original temperature will be restored. On the other hand, if Sleep mode is used with heat, the original temperature will gradually decrease to 2 degrees Fahrenheit below it, restoring the original temperature after six hours. When Sleep mode is used with the dehumidifier, no temperature changes occur.
The Soleus Air KY2-34 features a single-vent system to exhaust hot air outside of your environment when the AC is in the Air Conditioner or Dehumidifier mode. This exhaust system can easily be installed in most standard horizontal windows using the included window kit and detailed instructions provided in the user’s manual.

We had our Soleus for only 2 years when the internal transformer stopped working. Called Soleus and they said they do not sell the parts and I should ship the unit to California for them to repair! This is a heavy unit and expensive to ship, the labor is $45.00 an hour plus parts, I might as well buy a new unit. It will definitely never be a Soleus again!!! I'm an electrician and could have easily fixed this myself but apparently they don't want this.

Comments about Soleus Air KY2-34 Portable Air Conditioner and Heater:
good air conditioner but not satisfied with air in take yet
Comments about Soleus Air KY2-34 Portable Air Conditioner and Heater:
The unit arrive on time in good condition. Pluged it in after reading the instructions and it works as advertised.
the unit removes more humidity from the air while in A/C and Heat mode, not dehumidify. When automatic mode the unit shuts off before morning. not bad because the humidity is usually between 50 and 60% in the room. Not bad for coastal Georgia. The instructions could use an upgrade. Drain hose recomendation is wrong and a symbol is not any where on the unit or remote. other than that it's a great unit and I'm very happy with it. I recommended it to any one.
Comments about Soleus Air KY2-34 Portable Air Conditioner and Heater:
I bought this air conditioner heater mainly for the heat but plan on using it in air conditioner mode in the summer. It is nice to have a piece of equipment that helps winter or summer. The heat pump technology is very cool. At 980 watts of power it puts out 12200 btus for heating. Good luck finding a regular electric heater that has those numbers.
The only drawback is you have to use the exaust hose for heating and air conditioning. The hose is easy to set up and I have mine going out a higher window. It is not that quiet but ok. It makes noise like an air conditioner even in heat mode. But wow does it warm up the bathroom fast. It is the size of a portable air conditioner and is on wheels and I look forward to using it in the summer when its hot.
Comments about Soleus Air KY2-34 Portable Air Conditioner and Heater:
I bought this unit for a narrow but long room at the back of the house where it's either too cold or hot depending on the season. The unit is rather large, especially with the intake hose and takes up a lot of space. It has, however, warmed the room nicely. We have not used it for AC yet. My major criticism is the noise it makes. The volume on the radio has to be turned up quite high to hear it.
I commend the company for excellent service and quick response to my inquiry about the noise.

Comments about Soleus Air KY2-34 Portable Air Conditioner and Heater:
I have only used the AC and fan out of the four functions (haven't used dehumidifier and heater). It is loud--too loud for me to use at night. Even though it is 12,000 BTU it doesn't seem to get the room really cold. The window kit is flimsy and you will need to get some foam and/or tape to seal around, to prevent the hot outside air from coming in.
