However, I queried this point with the manufacturer and was told that in 'Dry' dehumidifier mode it is optional for the drainage tube to be attached to the unit because the unit has an in-built (non-removeable) water tank that will collect the condensed water when the drain is plugged. Upon reaching the tank's full capacity “FT” will display and the unit will stop. It can then be drained using the drainage hose provided. In terms of cooling powers this is one of the most powerful portable air con units we've tested, but, that power does comes at a price, with the AEG Comfort 6000 using 3400W of energy compared to the MeacoCool MC Series 7000BTU units 780W. 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. However, a higher BTU also means a higher price tag, and likely higher running costs, so it's a balancing act of investing as much as you can for better performance against how much you're willing to pay upfront for a unit. Room size Nevertheless, there are powerful models, too. For example, the De'Longhi Pinguino | Portable Air Conditioner with a maximum cooling capacity of up to 10,700 BTU per hour. That said, it's important to buy the best portable air conditioner for your room size, otherwise your unit will be working overtime to try and cool a too-large space.

I am also basing this review on the air-con portion only, as I don't use it as a dehumidifier. If you use it in that mode, you will need to instal rubber tubing that will pipe out the water from the unit, but using it for only air-con that isn't needed. I think it stores the small amount of water it creates in a tank that you will empty at the end of the season. Noise-wise, according to the specs in the user manual the Russell Hobbs RHPAC11001 Portable Air Conditioner should be louder than alternatives like the MeacoCool MC Series 7000BTU Portable Air Conditioner I tested. However, when I positioned both units a metre away from me and tested them one after another, the Russell Hobbs option 'felt' the quieter of the two. I then used a sound-measuring app on my phone to compare them properly (disclaimer; I can’t vouch for the reliability of the app) and the Russell Hobbs unit read approximately five decibels quieter on Fan mode (both at low and high speed) and its Cool air conditioning mode.All in all, the MeacoCool MC Series 7000BTU Portable Air Conditioner is a good all-rounder at an affordable price point. n the app, you can switch between fan, cooling, dehumidifier, and auto modes as well as control the temperature, fan speed, and timer. Not only is this device loaded with features, but it is also very efficient. While compact, this AC unit is suitable for rooms up to 20 square meters and has a 9,000 BTU cooling capacity. It's generally recommended to close doors and windows in the room that you're trying to keep cool, so if you only want to keep a small bedroom cool then you can opt for a cheaper lower BTU unit, however an open plan space will require a much more powerful appliance with a larger BTU. Portability There’s also the option of the Timer function which allows you to schedule a specific time to start or turn off the appliance. Like all of the settings, this is straightforward to use and programme. Maintenance

When used as an air conditioner, this unit will keep you cool and comfortable. With a handy choice of 2 speed settings and an added oscillating fan function, you can control the speed and direction of air flow. In our tests, similar to the MeacoCool MC Series 7000BTU Portable Air Conditioner and AEG Comfort, it managed to cool a 4.5m2 room by 2°C in 10 minutes, and despite the manufacturer stating its noise level is 65dB, our reviewer found it much quieter than the Meaco model, comparing it to the AEG Comfort on this front. Dry mode is the unit's dehumidifying function. The set-up for this is the same as Cool mode in that you need to make sure the exhaust hose is positioned out of the window so that the moisture can be dispelled. Although the brand does say that you can also use it without (see below). The dh symbol appears when it’s in this mode and it’s worth noting that you can’t select the fan speed in this mode as the appliance selects it automatically. Whilst it’s hard to precisely measure how effectively it worked, we tried it when we had an airer of damp washing in the room and just like when using one of the best dehumidifiers, the atmosphere felt far less damp with the unit running. Noise-wise, both I, my boys, and my sound-monitoring app agreed that it was the quietest portable air con unit we’ve tested so far. Although you’ll still need to turn the TV up whilst it's on, it's not deafening. The Night mode which reduces the noise and brightness of the display for bedtime use is also a great benefit for light-sleepers or people with children. This product also comes with a free one year manufacturer guarantee. A free second year guarantee is available upon registering your product.Personally, we'd sacrifice some chill (and save a lot of cash) and opt for the Duux Whisper Flex Ultimate Fan over the North Smart every time. Especially if you're looking for ways to keep a bedroom cool as the fan's silent operation won't disturb your sleep. Whilst the fan won't actively lower the room temperature like the North Smart can, all those who've tested the Duux Whisper Fan now swear by it's oh-so-silent 'natural-feeling' breeze, reaching for it as a go-to sleep aid whenever the mercury soars. This Portable Dual-Hose Air Conditioner comes with a control panel, adjustable power, and 3 modes: normal, natural, and night. You can adjust the unit’s power depending on the size of the room and the climate in your area. The 65-watt device is equipped with a 360-degree roller, an 8-litre water tank and weighs just 8.5 kg.

The unit also offers the brilliant Night mode that reduces the brightness of the display screen so that it doesn’t light up the room, and makes the unit work more quietly. The fan speed stays on low during this mode so that the noise is reduced and there's less to disturb your sleep. Beyond that, this air con unit is bulky and heavy. It weighs in at 31.5kg, one of the heaviest units we've tested, so carrying it upstairs is a definite two (strong) person job. But, it looks good. And its curved front, minimal design, and gloss finish all make it far more unobtrusive in a room than you might expect. The build quality is also solid and robust. One of the windows I tried it installing it in was particularly large, at over 145cm tall, however, there was still more than enough Velcro and the window kit was big enough to do an even bigger window as there was excess left over at either end. Speeds Setting & Ultra Quiet】 Mini air conditioning design with 3 speeds setting, it has low, middle and high speeds to fit your daily requirements. Upgraded low noise design, won’t disturb your working and sleeping.

New Natural Refrigerant R290 Standard Now, if your goal is for a room to be chilled quietly, none of these portable units are going to be for you. Having the whole unit inside, which half of it usually sits outside the home, makes it quite loud under operation. But if the option was to have this little machine loud or to sit in 30c with a fan blowing around that hot air, I would take this every day of the week.
