Product Information

What they can do is provide you with an airflow that’s cooler than room temperature, which might be enough to keep you going as the temperature spikes. It means running costs for the AEG are higher – as is the initial outlay compared to the Meaco – but, our reviewer did find they didn't need this unit running for as long to cool down a space. We also like the fact that you can clean the filter under the tap or in the dishwasher, and that the illuminated side panels can be set to glow with a choice of seven colours if you fancy a little mood lighting.

An air conditioner uses a fan to draw hot air from the room into the body of the unit, then cools it via a compressor and refrigerant, and blows the cooled air back out into the room. Along with the wider team I've tested the best portable air conditioners on the market to find our top recommendations for this guide. This quick list is an overview of the very best portable air conditioners available, according to our experts.

With some air coolers, there’s a risk of adding to the room’s humidity, which can be a problem if it already suffers from excess humidity. Instead, the Duux North 9K Smart Air Conditioner's curved grey front looks sleek and modern, and although it's still fairly sizeable, its curved edges help it to feel a lot visually slimmer, meaning it feels less bulky and more unobtrusive in a room.

Plus, where water tanks are open inside the cooler, there’s also a risk of spillage – which can be a worry if you’re using a desktop model plugged into your laptop or PC. If you know you'll struggle with a cooling device of that weight, an air cooler could be a lighter option, although it won't deliver the same cold air that an air conditioner can. as real users, posing a threat to a site’s security, so the site sometimes runs random security checks. If for example a filter hasn't been replaced for a long time, or other maintenance has not been performed, than an air conditioner can produce dirty air. The type that's best for you will be determined by your window's size, opening mechanism, and hinging placement.

As well as the usual three fan speeds, it has the same Natural and Sleep modes as the brand’s tower fan, the former varying the fan speed for an outdoor breeze effect, the latter slowly ramping down the speed as you doze off.

It’s something of a pocket rocket, with more power than most rivals, and the cooling system, based on Evapolar’s own basalt-based filters, stays sterile over long-term use, so you won’t get the bacteria build-up – and unpleasant smells – that you get with other desktop models if you don’t clean them daily.A stylish mobile air conditioner that offers 3-in-1 functionality, WiFi connectivity, and comes with remote control and window kit included.
