Product Information

Energy efficiency - How energy efficient is the air conditioner? Is a window sealing kit included? If not, you may want to consider purchasing one to improve the overall efficiency of your choice.

Coming to you with both powerful heating and cooling functions, the Igenix IG9902 Portable Air Conditioner is the ultimate unit for all year round climate control. In addition to having a 9000 BTU cooling capacity, the IG9902 model has 3 in 1 multifunctional capabilities for heating, cooling and dehumidifying the air as well. The unit is able to hit cooling temperatures between 18 to 32 degrees and extract as much as 20 litres of water from the air every day. However, it only works efficiently in small and midsized rooms. Heat wave coming up? Dont 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 18 sqm. The Gree portable air conditioner is among one of the best portable units in the UK. Not only does it have all the features you need to make it through the day and night, but the manufacturer tried as hard as possible to improve the user-friendliness. And if you’re looking for something that will barely make an impact on your power bills, what’s better than an A rated energy efficient unit? Get the mini air conditioner today and enjoy powerful, space saving and diversified cooling. Portable air cons with the Energy Star label are especially viable since they not only help you reduce the electricity bills, but also protect the environment as well. That’s because these units meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by US Environmental Protection Agency, meaning they use significantly less energy than non-certified models.If you’re looking for affordable air conditioning but still want to get the most out of your AC, why not give EcoAir’s Crystal portable AC a go? Read our full review. It comes with everything you need to set it up, including a complete window kit. There is also a remote control with settings for fan-only, temperature and dehumidification. 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. Room size - Most air conditioners provide guidance on the recommended room size, but if not, take a look at the BTU rating (British Thermal Units). The higher the BTU, the more efficient it is at cooling a room and the larger space it can accommodate. The compressor unit in an air conditioner forces warm air over cool ‘refrigerant’ gases, which can be evaporated over and over again to absorb heat and replace it with cooler more comfortable air.

Since some air cons also act as dehumidifiers, you’ll need a method to direct the water away from the unit. While most air cons have a collection tank that can be emptied manually, there are simpler ways to do this.The manufacturer incorporated all the features you would expect in a high-end portable AC and gave the Artica more than enough power to get the job done. And while you will definitely have to figure out how to vent your unit while cooling and drain absorbed water after dehumidification, it really doesn’t affect the mobility of the device. And if you absolutely have to move the conditioner around, the space saving design and easy roll castor wheels make the process a breeze (pun intended). But if you’re still not convinced, then the Class A energy efficiency rating should sort things right out. After all, who doesn’t enjoy saving money in form of power bills?

Key specs – BTU rating: 9,000; Functions: AC, dehumidifier, heater, fan; Energy rating: A; Noise: 64dB; Features: Remote control, timer, three-speed fan, heat pump; Hose length: 1.5m; Dimensions: 705 x 472 x 383mm; Weight: 31kg to 34kg If it breaks we'll fix it, if it develops a fault we'll get it working again. We'll instruct either the manufacturer or a certified repair centre to repair it. Due to the warm air being extracted out of the room to create a cooler environment, this item would require the hose to be attached into a window kit or through the wall for it to work at the full potential. All PACs incorporate a compressor and one or more fans, so they’re never going to be totally silent. Some are quieter than others, however: you should find the minimum and/or maximum noise pressure levels listed in the manufacturer’s specification. Watch out for sleep modes, too. These power down the compressor and reduce the speed of any fans to make the PAC’s hum a little easier to sleep through. If you really struggle with the noise, though, think about cooling the room before you go to sleep, or try using a desktop or pedestal fan instead. The phrase ‘smart’ may be a little misleading as this simply refers to the app. It is not operated by smart devices such as Google Home or AlexaHeatwave 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. Another option is to vent the hot air through a dryer vent. Although many manufacturers will not recommend this method, it’s worth a shot if there’s no other alternative. 6. How do you empty water from a portable air conditioner?

Variety of speed settings - How many speed settings does the air conditioner have? The more speed options, the more control you will have over your environment. Of course, you don’t want to go much bigger than you have to. Weight, size and convenience matter, and if a unit’s too big, too heavy and too difficult to set up, then you may end up avoiding using it except for a few really hot days in the summer. You need to balance the cooling power you need against how big and obtrusive a PAC can be before you’re not prepared to put up with it. Where can I put a portable air conditioner?

With a higher BTU rating than its stablemate, the Pinguino PAC EL112, the PAC EX130CST is equipped to handle rooms of up to 120m³ in size, and we suspect it could go larger. There’s a lot of cooling power on offer here. It effortlessly reduced the temperature of our test room from 25°C to 20.5°C in half an hour, then dropped down to a steady 20°C for the rest of our two-hour test period. We had no problem throughout testing keeping the temperature at about that level, although attempts to push it down to 18°C weren’t so successful; it’s within the range of the thermostat, but seems to be outside the EX130 CST’s comfort zone. You could also vent your portable AC through a drop ceiling. This technique is quite effective, but you have to reconfigure your drop ceiling or panel. As a rule of thumb, portable air conditioners need 20 BTU for every square foot to be effective. Small spaces of about 300 sq feet will require an AC with between 7000 and 1000 BTU while 300+sq feet will be well suited by 12000 to 14000 BTU. Setting up the window venting kit takes very little time. You can move it and set it up in another room in less than 10 minutes. 4.
