Russell Hobbs Portable 3-in-1 Air Conditioner, Air Cooler, Dehumidifier, 670 W, 1 Litre, Includes Window Seal Kit, RHPAC3001

Product Information

The Russell Hobbs RHPAC11001 Portable Air Conditioner unit itself doesn't need any assembly, however, if you’re using it to exhaust hot air either on Cool mode (the air conditioning function) or Dry mode (its dehumidifying functionality) then you need to attach the exhaust hose to the unit. A powerful portable air conditioner that looks good, is easy to use, is relatively quiet in comparison to most, has WiFi connectivity, and – most importantly – can cool down a room fast, as long as you don't mind its slightly higher running costs. The unit is sleek, well designed, and feels good quality – from the unit itself to the handy remote control. It’s easy to manoeuvre thanks to its built-in wheels which make life much easier, you'll just need to factor in its weight, but this is part and parcel of most air con units.

This pumpkin cast iron dish has become my favourite piece of cookware I'll be using long after Halloween You're likely opting for a portable air con unit because you would like it to be... portable! However, in reality, even the best portable air conditioners are both bulky and heavy, weighing from 20kgs for a smaller 'lightweight' air conditioner to 30kgs+ for more powerful units. 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.There's no denying portable air con units are expensive, so if affordability is key then this Pro Breeze 9000 BTU 4-in-1 Portable Air Conditioner is certainly a winner on price. POWERFUL COOLING: This 7000 BTU air conditioner provides strong and effective cooling down to 15°C in small, medium and large homes, living rooms, bedrooms and offices. 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. DEHUMIDIFIER - Can be used independent of the air conditioning function; allowing you to extract up to 27 litres a day of excess moisture and humidity from the atmosphere Natural refrigerant R290, up to 690 times eco-friendlier compared to any other gases. This is the new standard from the beginning of 2020!

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. wind speed settings providing low, medium and high powered breeze with 45 degrees wide angle oscillation for evenly distributed air flowHowever, self-evaporative air conditioners are a poor choice for areas with high humidity levels. And this is not the only downside. They are noisier and cover small areas of up to 15 sq. meters. And finally, you will have to empty the unit’s water tank every time it is entirely filled. The 7000BTU air conditioner's 20.5kg weight, whilst not insignificant, makes it far lighter the 30kg average, and means this unit is much easier to move around the home than most. Plus, its 780W power consumption is one of the lowest of all the air con units we've tested, meaning it offers lower running costs too. The high-end De'Longhi Pinguino PACEX100 Silent has the higher Energy Efficiency Class A++. It uses a natural high-efficiency gas, propane R290, with no greenhouse emissions.
