AEG PX71-265WT Air Conditioning Unit - Silver/White Grey

Product Information

it has a tiny footprint and stands less than a metre high, yet it can still dish out 7,000BTU of cooling, bringing down the temperatures in small-sized rooms of up to 18m². Even better still, this duct comes with a "coat" - a fabric cover which insulates the plastic to make sure heat doesn't escape into the room while it's on the way out. New range of Panasonic BZ, TZ and KEW wall mounted air conditioning units, some with inbuilt wi-fi technology.

For even more flexibility, the exhaust hose can be attached to almost any window using the telescopic Window Kit. While you might be able to improvise with hardboard or towels, it makes sense to check what options you have available for your chosen PAC before you get it home. We review portable air conditioners by installing and running them over a period of at least three days.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. Some units can evaporate this internally and exhaust it through the hose or the back of the unit; in other models, it’s kept in an internal reservoir that needs to be emptied manually. All PACs incorporate a compressor and one or more fans, so they’re never going to be totally silent.

These power down the compressor and reduce the speed of any fans to make the PAC’s hum a little easier to sleep through. While standing 75cm tall, the tapered design makes it look fairly unobtrusive, helped by the minimalist touch-sensitive controls.

Key specs – BTU rating: 7,000; Functions: AC, dehumidifier, fan; Energy rating: A; Max noise: 65dB; Extra features: Remote control, timer, two-speed fan; Hose length: 1. It feels well made, hasn't missed a beat in the weeks I've been using it, almost daily, and I absolutely love the robust duct, which has to be piped out of a window.

New range of Haier TIDE wall mounted air conditioning unit with inbuilt wi-fi and silver coil fresh technology. 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. It's a breeze to set up, you just plug the unit in and vent the provided hose out of a nearby window or door. PACs should really be emptied and cleaned at the end of every summer season, and easily accessible fans and filters make that job a whole lot easier.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. Key specs – BTU rating: 13,000; Functions: AC, dehumidifier, fan; Energy rating: A++; Max noise: 64dB; Features: Remote control, timer, three-speed fan, myEcoReal mode, Wi-Fi and DeLonghi Comfort app; Hose length: 1. At 33kg you won’t want to heft it around much, and the supplied window kit, with an extending panel to cover smaller or larger windows, is best suited to near-permanent fitting, at least during the summer months.

We test a portable air-conditioner that looks like a spaceship

The best portable air conditioners (PACs) will keep a single room cool in the hot summer months, with no disruptive installation required and at a much lower cost than house-wide systems. We also track the temperature for a further hour to see whether the air conditioner can maintain a consistent level. Plus, there's also the option of a fan mode which doesn't require the need for a hose, so you can wheel it where you need it most, making it ideal for when you're on your own and only need a small area of your room cooling quickly. 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 can even link it up to Google Assistant or Alexa, but I found my Google Home system doesn't see eye to eye with it all that often. It’s easy to use, either via the top-mounted controls or the bundled remote, and you can quickly set the desired temperature or timers for start-up and shutdown. However, take any claims of silent running with a pinch of salt; noise levels hit 52dB at full tilt, falling to 46dB once the temperature had stabilised.
