The best portable air conditioners you can buy in 2023 1. Amcor SF8000E: Best low-cost portable air conditioner I tested the unit over a couple of humid days in my home office and bedroom, both of which measure around 26m2, the upper volume limit for the unit. Weighing in at 23.5kg it is – just – possible to get the unit up a flight of stairs single-handed, but nul points to Meaco for the shallow finger-grips.

Heatwave coming up? Don't sweat! This great value air conditioner boasts an impressive cooling capacity of 7,000 BTU, which is more than enough to cool rooms up to 20 sqm. 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. Throw in the same smart features as the smaller model, and you have a fully featured PAC that can keep you chilled out in the middle of a scorching day. Just be aware that it’s a chunky unit and, at 32kg, a bit too heavy to be lugged around the house.

How often do you have to empty a portable air conditioner?

With rated maximum noise levels of 65dB in high mode and 53dB in low fan mode, the MC 7000 is noticeably louder than your average tower fan (we measured the noise levels at 62dB and 56dB respectively). There’s also a slight buzzing that accompanies the unit while it cools, too, so it isn’t the ideal choice to run overnight in a bedroom. hour start/stop timer to pre-cool (e.g. before you arrive home or at the office) or to automatically switch off when you are asleep Obviously, the relatively low BTU rating puts it out of contention for larger rooms, let alone open-plan living spaces, but for the average UK living room or bedroom it should be fine. You can control it using the top-mounted touch controls or bundled remote, and there’s a 24-hour stop/start timer to cool your bedroom before you go to sleep. The only problem is that most users describe it as “pretty noisy”. You might not want to leave this one running overnight.

For further guidance, following a table that includes an estimated room size for air conditioners with different cooling capacities: Cooling Capacity (BTU)When buying an air conditioner, you should pay attention to the wattage and the BTU/h rating. In terms of air conditioning, this is referred to as cooling capacity - 1,000 BTU/h is equivalent to 293 watts. Calculations show that about 6800 BTU are needed for 20 square metres of space. Therefore, a 7000 BTU air conditioner or portable air conditioner is best suitable for small apartments that come with 46 square metres of space. Designed in Guildford and manufactured in China, Meaco’s MC9000 is intended to cool rooms of between 16 and 26 square metres. Given that the average new-build UK living room is a little over 17 square metres in volume, that makes this model a prime candidate for most homes. How much you need to spend depends on your cooling requirements. PACs are rated in British thermal units (BTU): one BTU is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree. A higher rating means an air conditioner can cool a larger space, which normally means the unit itself will be larger and more expensive. A 9,000BTU unit will handle a space of approximately 45 cubic metres, while a 12,000BTU unit could go up to 90 cubic metres. Measure your room before you buy to make sure you choose an air conditioner that’s up to the job. All costs includes parts, labour, call out and delivery charges are covered, so you can rest assured there are no hidden costs. For smaller untis we may ask you to return it to our UK repair centre. Powerful Cooling: Provides effective cooling down to 16°C in rooms of all sizes, perfect for your bedroom, living room or office.

With the ability to extract up to20 litres a day, the powerful dehumidifier setting can help prevent health problems that result from condensation, mould and damp. Positioning is another issue: most PACs need to vent hot air through a window, and if you can’t place it right next to a suitable opening, you’ll either need to put a permanent vent through the wall or find a model with a hose extender. What’s more, where the air goes out, there’s also potential for more warm air to creep in. In fact, the negative air pressure created by the air conditioner actively encourages it to do so. Noise levels. All air conditioners in operation make a fan-like noise, but they vary by as much as ten decibels, which could make all the difference when you’re trying to sleep.

You needn’t worry about your vertical radiator not radiating heat as efficiently at the top, as they work in the same way as standard horizontal radiator designs do! They use water pressure to ensure that even the highest point of the radiator will be just as toasty as the bottom. Vertical radiators don’t cut corners when it comes to BTU output. The unit is small and light enough to manhandle from room to room, too, and small casters attached to the base make it easy to manoeuvre on hard floors. If you have carpet, however, you’ll have to lift it. MeacoCool MC 7000: How well does it cool?
