Product Overview

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.

Easy-to-Operate Controls

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.

Year-Round Home Comfort

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:

  • Air Conditioner Mode: Using this mode, the Soleus Air  KY2-34 will keep your home or office comfortably cool with temperature ranges from 61 degrees Fahrenheit to 88 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Heater Mode: This mode keeps your environment warm and toasty during the chilly winter months.
  • Dehumidifier Mode: The air conditioning process naturally dehumidifies the surrounding environment while cooling it. However, this Soleus Air portable air conditioner has a separate dehumidifying mode that can be used when the air doesn’t necessarily need cooling, just moisture removal instead.
  • Fan-Only Mode: This mode is ideal for circulating fresh air throughout your environment.
  • Auto Mode: With this mode, users simply choose their desired fan speed and the Soleus Air  KY2-34 does the rest. If the room temperature is below 68 degrees Fahrenheit, the Heater mode will activate. Dehumidifier mode runs when the room temperature is between 68 degrees and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. For temperatures above 80 degrees Fahrenheit, the air conditioner is used.

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.

Simple Window Installation

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.

Additional Features

To make your area even more comfortable, the Soleus Air  KY2-34 also comes with the following features:

  • Evaporative Technology: By recycling and eliminating excess water extracted during the dehumidifying and cooling process, evaporative technology means there is no water bucket to empty.
  • Heat Pump Technology: This type of heat can produce more than twice the heat of traditional electric heaters while using less energy.
  • WaveFlo® Technology: When this portable air conditioner is oscillating, Soleus Air’s unique WaveFlo® pattern moves the louvers up and down to increase air circulation.
  • Power Interruption Recovery: Your most current settings are automatically restored after a power outage.
  • Emergency Condensate Tank: In extremely humid conditions, more water may be collected than can be recycled. This convenient tank holds the excess water, and an icon on the display screen alerts you when the tank needs to be emptied.
  • Washable Air Filter: To keep your air as clean and fresh as possible this Soleus air conditioner includes a reusable air filter.

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:

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.

nice multi tool. It cools and heats

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.

a good solution

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.

Loud

By Deborah Brody

from USA

Verified Buyer

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does window installation work?
Detailed window installation instructions can be found in the Soleus Air PH3-12R-03 Owner's Manual.
Does this model require a water drainage connection?
No, this portable AC is equipped with evaporative technology that automatically evaporates collected condensate through the exhaust hose in most scenarios. However, in conditions where the room temperature is low and indoor humidity is high, some condensate may collect in the unit's emergency condensate holding tank. In these conditions, you can either empty the condensate tank manually or affix a drain hose to the drain plug on the back of the AC for continuous drainage.
Does the exhaust vent show outside the window after it is installed?
In applications where the portable air conditioner is installed to exhaust through a double-hung or horizontally sliding window, the exhaust vent will install flush with the exterior window surface and will not protrude.
Do you have to vent this AC unit to the outside?
Venting hot air outside through the exhaust hose and window venting kit is recommended for optimal operation during air conditioner mode. However, there are other venting options that may be suitable for your application. For more information, read our How To Vent Your Portable AC article or call one of our product experts toll free at 1-800-934-9194.
Does this product ever require the reusable air filters to be replaced? If so, do you sell replacements?
The washable air filter should be cleaned every couple weeks. If the filter gets torn, damaged, or becomes unusable, then you need to replace it. Soleus Air can assist with this; contact them at (888) 876-5387.
What is the diameter of the hose, and is it solid or flexible?
It's a flexible hose and is 5-inches in diameter.
When the desired conditions are met, does the fan turn off or does it keep running?
The fan turns off once your room reaches the desired temperature/conditions.
