The MeacoCool MC Series 8000 is designed to keep your room cool and comfortable. By removing hot and humid air, it reduces relative humidity which helps to keep the environment comfortable – whether it is your home gym, your conservatory, or even your offices. In fact, this unit is ideal for rooms from 16-26m². The MeacoCool comes with two types of window kits: the standard and the flexible window kit. The standard kit is suitable for sash windows, whereas the flexible window kit can be use with all window types. I would recommend it to anyone looking to cool down a small bedroom, home office, nursery, or similar over the summer. It doesn’t take up too much space to store either and is very easy to set up and use. We do wish it had a lower fan speed to keep the noise levels down but, having said that, this isn’t all that different from most air conditioners at around this price. MeacoCool MC 7000: Is it energy-efficient? The fact that one of the drainage hose outlets was positioned midway down the rear of the unit made it much easier to drain than alternative models I've tested in which the outlet is much lower down. I put the Dry Mode to use on a very muggy rainy day and noticed an almost immediate improvement in the moisture levels in the room.

You do this by removing the two filters at the rear of the unit and then using a hoover to clean both sides. Alternatively they can be cleaned with warm water. When in Cool Mode on High setting, and with the temperature set as 16, it brought the temperature down by approximately two degree Celsius in a super speedy ten minutes. (This was with the thermometer positioned at the side of the room close to the unit). A really immediate and noticeable impact. Unlike most cooling units this model can be moved alone if you live by yourself, is easy to reposition thanks to its castor wheels, and is a great slimline option to stow away in the car and take to the caravan or a holiday let to keep cool in the summer heat. Larger spaces need effective air conditioning and that’s what you get with the MeacoCool 10000. Specifically designed to cool bigger areas, this unit is fully portable, and has an Energy Rating of A, making it easy on your household or office bills.The good news on this front is that the MeacoCool MC Series 7000BTU Portable Air Conditioner has the lowest power consumption of any of the mobile air conditioners we've tested, running on just 780W. The first item of note is how easy this model is to use. There are no unfathomable icons to get your head around because all controls on top of the unit are written in plain English. Starting on the left there’s a timer, followed by a Speed button: the Low setting is surprisingly quiet; Medium produces more clout without excessive noise and High belts out a mini gale that thankfully still isn’t loud enough to irritate. Installing the window kit for the first time takes a little time and effort, but once this is done it can be kept in situ for the whole summer. The new MeacoCool range is smaller, lighter and more compact in size making it easier to fit within a room and be comfortably moved around.

We’ve also added a timer. This allows you to set the air conditioner to operate for anytime between one and 24 hours, so you can set it to come on for an hour before you go to bed, or before you get home in the evening, resulting in rooms that are the perfect temperature when you need them.Quite the contrast, we found this model significantly lighter than others and as such it was a very portable option. Like this reviewer says, we also found it did a very effective job at cooling. We didn’t find it any noiser than other air con units on the market, and the fact that two different types of window kits were supplied was a really bonus. I used a sound-monitoring app on my phone to record how loud the MeacoCool MC Series 7000BTU Portable Air Conditioner was, and whilst I can't vouch for the reliability of the app, when positioned one metre away from the unit I measured 52dB noise levels whilst operating the unit in Cool Mode on the Low speed setting. This increased by approximately five decibels when the fan speed was increased to High speed which is in line with Meaco's own guidance of the unit producing 51-53dB levels.

All MeacoCool air conditioning units come with a 3 year exclusive warrantyonly available from Air Con Centre for ease of mind when purchasing. The sleep mode keeps the unit in low fan speed to ensure the lowest possible noise level, and you can combine this with the Off Timer so that the unit turns off at a set time, ensuring that you do not wake up cold during the night.Alas, the weather hasn’t been particularly warm during the test period so I can’t give more accurate details than this yet, but it’s a good sign that the unit managed to keep rooms cool even without the installation of a window kit. If the heat of summer is getting too much and a fan just won’t do, it might be time to consider buying a portable air conditioner (PAC) to keep those temperatures down. Contrary to what you might think, though, you don’t have to spend a fortune to get effective cooling. Not only does this MeacoCool 10000 CH provide you with the perfect cooling solution throughout the summer months; it can also be used when the weather turns colder. The reverse heat pump allows you to use the air conditioner as a heater, making it a useful investment all year round. All Meaco products come with a two-year parts and labour warranty, as well as the option of extending the warranty to a total of five years. I also tested the Russell Hobbs RHPAC11001 Portable Air Conditioner Unit at the same time as the MeacoCool MC Series 7000BTU Portable Air Conditioner and while both are effective units, the MeacoCool MC Series 7000BTU Portable Air Conditioner is best suited to those seeking a compact and lightweight unit that's easy to move around the house or transport.
