NOMA 9,000 BTU 3-in-1 Portable Air Conditioner

I've had this unit for 5 years. I got it from a local CTC store on sale for $399. I thought it had a built-in removable water tank like many other units, but it does not. I came home last night after a long motorcycle ride and found the unit had stopped, and the display was showing error code E5. The PDF manual is not searchable; I had to manually scroll through all 30+ pages, but found no instance of "tank". I did see an upper and lower push-in rubber drain plug, so I removed them. A small amount of water drained from each, maybe a cup in total. This machine is supposed to evaporate accumulated water and send it outside through the discharge. Maybe that is why such a small volume of water caused it to stop. Anyway, satisfied that I had drained all accessible water, I plugged it in. NO error code!! I pressed the power button, and it has been running normally for the past hour. It's 30°C again today and very muggy as well. If I see E5 again, I'll know what to do. (( It was 30°C yesterday and 27°C when I got home last night, expect similar today...we'll see. ))

I purchased this NOMA air conditioner. It kicks into gear with excessive noise and banging. I don't know what to do. So disappointed

The compressor stopped cooling after roughly 30 overnight uses. We don't need it often where we live, so unfortunately it failed during our second summer of ownership outside of warranty. Expensive pile of junk now, unrepairable by anyone locally. Incredible waste of money. Will not buy another Noma AC product.

Purchased this unit in May 2021 (now going onto 3 months of steady daily use). My old AC was 10,000 BTU, and I found it was a little too powerful for a bedroom in an apartment. So when it broke down, I purchased this unit with only 9,000 BTUs. It ended up being the perfect fit! This unit doesn't BLAST cold air (although the air is cold), it conditions it. Within minutes, the air is at the temperature I want. Some days I want it at 18c - other days I prefer nothing over 24c (depends on the Ontario humidity levels). I love how the unit is 'smart' (and saves hydro) by cycling its fan as it reaches the temperature I have it set at. If it can cool down below that temperature with just the fan it will, and shuts off. If it cannot, the AC kicks in and quickly gets the temperature back down to where I have it set for. The unit noise is not overbearing, but you can hear it. This is something I have come to ignore, and don't notice much anymore. The remote control is weird. The symbols matching the function are below the button (not on top like the average remote). You can make mistakes too easily, and find yourself spending a few minutes undoing and resetting things the way like them. I love the IFEEL feature. Basically, the feature tells the unit what temperature "you feel" from the area you are in - not where the air conditioner is sitting. The air conditioner then compromises the setting you have it at. Nice feature! Another plus is, shutting off the lights on the unit (dimmer). Perfect for bedrooms! Do yourself a favour and make no room for disappointments. If the area you are trying to cool is bigger than an average apartment bedroom, then purchase a unit (at least) with 10,000 BTUs or higher. Maybe even 12,000 BTUs to easily manage a living room, kitchen, hallway with a bathroom. Otherwise, the unit will work hard, cost heavily in hydro and the result will not be satisfactory (and some, will then write bad reviews of this product). I hope this review assists you in your safari of purchasing. Cheers!
