Comparisson of 2 models after warranty - Danby
So over a year ago I purchased a Danby DPA072B8WDB-6 (https://danby.ca/products/portable-air-conditioners/dpa072b8wdb-6/) refurbished, and this year the week before the warranty expired of it broke.
As a replacement, the company suggested the model DPA065B6WDB-RF (https://danby.ca/products/portable-air-conditioners/dpa065b6wdb-rf/), that checking the specs it seems lower, so I asked them that I of course would like to have something of at least similar specs.
After a week or so, they just came back with DPA080B2WDB (https://danby.ca/products/portable-air-conditioners/dpa080b2wdb/), that seems to have slightly more power but less room size, which I don't know how that's possible.
Should I keep insisting or this last one would be an upgrade anyways? To be fair I'm not in a rush since i won't be using the AC for the next 10 months so I guess I "could" tell them I'm ok with waiting until/if something better comes up.
