What This Product Is Used For
The Tanoxo 12,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner is a freestanding cooling unit for living rooms, bedrooms, apartments, home kitchens, garages, basements and offices. This white portable air conditioner uses 12,000 BTU ASHRAE and 8,000 BTU SACC cooling capacity, with a highly efficient compressor designed to cool areas up to 500 sq ft.
