I am purchasing the DPAC 13009 Danby 2009 portable A/C, but....

- Hi co7196, Thanks for your response. I have not purchased the portable A/C unit from the scratch and dent wholesaler as yet. Because the price sounded too good to be true, and he made the missing hose fix sound so simple, I thought I would ask here on this website before I purchased it, so I do not have a picture. This is a link to the product manual from the Danby website: http://www.danby.ca/cms/uploads/products/en_manual/dpac13009EFOM_EFOM_final.pdf

- I don't believe the unit was stolen. as I'd mentioned in my first post, it is being sold by a scratch and dent wholesaler. It is a business with a physical address that is open to the public and they mostly sell appliances that have been on display at major stores but they also sell referbished, scratched and dented merchandise. When I saw their advertisement for the portable A/C unit I emailed customer service to ask what was wrong with it, and when they said it was missing hoses and I could buy new ones at Home Depot, it sounded wrong, because each portable A/C has its own manufacturer hose, and you must have the hose properly attached in order for it to work. It just seems to me that they are waiting for someone to buy it and then make that person deal with trying to actually use it. I think I'll take a pass on this one. Thank you.
