Kandola agrees that they are overall better quality than most other models, as well as being more stylish and with a wider range of features. But this smaller, cheaper N82 is slightly cheaper to run (at 27p per hour rather than 33p) and boasts many of the same features, including an LED control panel and thermostat, making it our top choice for most families.

The AC provides powerful cooling during the summer, whilst the dehumidifier function can be used during damp seasons to keep mould at bay,” he says. Medium-sized rooms and bedrooms roughly 24 square-meters in size will need something between 8,000 BTUs and 10,000 BTUs to run efficiently, and larger rooms will need something with 12,000 BTUs and above. These include placing the portable air conditioning unit near an external door or adding a vent to a wall or ceiling. As well as being an air conditioner, the compact MC9000 can also function as a fan and a dehumidifier.

There are two other modes – a dry mode, for dehumidification, and a fan mode, if you want to use it like a fan, though we found this less useful because it only swivels to a 90-degree angle, meaning we didn’t feel the breeze when we were sitting lower than the unit. The best portable air conditioners come with added features, such as a programmable timer, an in-built dehumidifier and smart app controls.

Fired up, the immediate thing that struck me was the ‘quality’ of the noise the unit generates: it’s as close to soothing ‘white’ noise as you could reasonably hope for.

Here’s our pick of the best, whether it’s for a stuffy office, balmy nights, or that conservatory where intense heat will build up quick. It’s best for small to medium-sized rooms with its 8000 BTU rating, so bedrooms and small living rooms (12-22 sq m). We separate the 4 constituent parts (polystyrene, plastic, wood and cardboard) at the depots then bale and compact the materials at our hub. If you’re unable to run a vent outside via a window or door, a portable air conditioner isn’t right for you. Don’t be deceived by its name, either, the AEG comfort 6000 is a 12,000 BTU model, not a 6,000 BTU one, so it cools large rooms in a pinch.Extensive measures are made to ensure all BLACK+DECKER® products are made to the very highest standards and meet all relevant industry regulations.
