Having reviewed several of their products in the past, we have gradually acquired an idea of what to expect when reviewing a product carrying this brand’s signature. That is, fortunately, an air conditioner of robust build, and high performance. However, the question remains, will the two units that we are reviewing today uphold the reputation of their manufacturer, or will they fall behind? Check our our full review below for more information.

SPT Air Conditioner Review

Today our team of analysts will be reviewing two Sunpentown air conditioning products, the SPT WA-6022S window-mounted air conditioner, and the SPT SF-48LB air cooler and humidifier. Both catering to drastically different needs and environments, check out our full review if you’re interested in seeing if one of these units is the perfect fit for you and your loved ones.

 

SPT WA-6022S

If you’re looking for a window-mounted air conditioner to serve a medium sized living space in an efficient and convenient manner, we strongly suggest lending the SPT WA-6022S your attention for a few minutes as we layout what kind of living space we believe this unit to be perfect for. With its extensive range of features and admirable certifications, this unit is the perfect alternative to some of the other more up-market brands out there.

 

Cooling Performance

Providing the user with up to 6,000 BTUs of cooling power, the SPT WA-6022S is ideal for servicing an admittedly modest area of 250 square feet, or a relatively small medium sized living space. In addition to this, the SPT WA-6022S is also capable of a maximum airflow of up to 153 cubic feet per minute, removing up to 0.7 pints of moisture from the air per hour.

 

Efficiency & Certifications

When it comes to efficiency, you’d be hard-pressed to find many units that perform better than the SPT WA-6022S. The Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) of a product is one of our primary measurements of how efficiently a unit will perform once installed. With the industry average standing at approximately 9.7, any unit that scores above 10 would generally be considered to be quite efficient. As this unit scores an 11.2, it may be assumed that the SPT WA-6022S is not going to cost the user an excessive amount of money to operate. Additionally, this unit also carries an Energy Star Certification, and a UL-Listing, which further guarantees that the SPT WA-6022S will perform both efficiently and safely.

Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER): 11.2

Energy Star Certified: Yes

Convenience & Design

Fortunately, the SPT WA-6022S excels in the realm of customer convenience. With a surprisingly wide range of operational modes, this window-mounted air conditioner incorporates almost all of our favourite features, such as Sleep Mode, Auto Mode, and Energy Saver Mode. When such functions are combined with features such as the programmable timer and wireless remote control, the end result is a product that is immensely convenient to operate.

Help & Support

With a reasonable warranty coverage plan, alongside quite a modest customer service network, Sunpentown unfortunately don’t earn much praise from us with regard to how refined their help & support services are. With the bare bones, representatives are only contactable through basic channel. Combine this with a relatively industry-standard warranty, and you have an unremarkable customer service infrastructure.

Warranty: 1 Year Appliance and Compressor Limited Warrantty

Support Resources: Representatives contactable via email and telephone.

 

Verdict

There are very few window-mounted units that will cater for the average 250 square foot living space, while retaining all of the convenience-enhancing features and functions that we are accustomed to encountering in the more expensive products on the market. By integrating upper-market features into this relatively small-scale device, Sunpentown have introduced possibly one of the best units of its calibre to the market.

 

SPT SF-48LB

While we have conducted several dehumidifier reviews at Air Conditioners Rated, regularly citing the myriad advantages of removing moisture from the air of your living environment, it should be stressed that it is of vital importance that your air contain a certain amount of moisture, for health purposes. Unfortunately, in many areas of the world, maintaining an environment with the right level of humidity is easier said than done, such as in American south west where Summers are often dry, and hot. If your local climate matches this description, we strongly suggest considering a unit like the SPT SF-48LB.

 

Cooling Performance

With a maximum airflow of 1061.8 CFM and a maximum humidification capacity of 7.6 gallons, the SPT SF-48LB is perfectly capable of providing cooling / humidifying services to a large living space.

 

Efficiency & Certifications

Unfortunately, there is not a lot of information provided by the manufacturer regarding this unit and its certifications / efficiency. Without an EER, it can be difficult to gauge how efficiently a unit will perform once installed. However, taking that into consideration, we have included this unit’s power consumption in our review for the benefit of our readers. Fortunately, the SPT SF-48LB performs quite well in this regard, and so will not demand a substantial amount of money to run.

Power Consumption: 140W (On High Setting)

Energy Star Certified: N/A

Safety Certification(s): ETL

Performance Certification(s): N/A

 

Convenience & Design

With its extensive range of convenient features and functions, operation of the SPT  SF-48LB could not be made any easier. Truly one of the best units on the market of its type and calibre, this unit is certainly one to watch if you, like us, value user comfort highly.

Notable Features: Wireless Remote Control / 7 ft. Cord Length / 7.5 Hour Timer / Tank Capacity 12.7 gal. / Caster Wheels / Enclosed water tank /

Operational Modes / Functions: Automatic vertical airflow direction control / Manual horizontal airflow direction control / Sleep Mode /

Verdict

With several inspired convenient design features, the SPT-48LB is surely one to consider for those of us who enjoy user comfort. Additionally, with high performance specifications, this HVAC unit is perfectly capable of getting the job done right on the first try.
