I'm considering the europace EPAC 12C 12000British thermal unit. It's $385 on Qoo10 before coupon discounts with delivery without installation. Anyone used this before? How is the maintenance and does it spoil easily?

Which brand and model did you use to escalate the bill to 100? How often did you use it and for how many hours?

TCL TAC-12CHP/V, used almost everyday sometimes during daytime but mostly night used it to cool the room before sleep, total usage average 5 to 7 hours per day.

Yes, it is.

Yes, it is.

Thank you. The info is very helpful. I'm looking to balance the power usage with costs and effects of the cooling capacity.
