Whynter Portable Air Conditioner with Dehumidifier and Fan for Rooms Up to 500 Square Feet, Includes Activated Carbon Filter & Storage Bag, Platinum/Black

Product Information

These systems don’t appear to exist in the UK market in general. There is one exception and that is the EcoFlow Wave 2 Portable AC. This has dual vents and a drainage pipe for the moisture that it collects through condensation.

In terms of power, this AC unit matches the Whynter ARC-122DS with a 12,000 BTU rating and 400-square-foot coverage area. If you need a dual-hose air conditioner for a big bedroom, Dreo is a great candidate. Air conditioners work by pulling hot air from one area and expelling it as cold air into another. Most people believe that air conditioners expel cold air. While this is untrue, the principle is mostly the same. The only difference is that cold air is not made. Hot air is cooled via conditioning. Evaporative [Swamp Coolers] – These are the cheap options you find. They are basically a fan that blows air over cold water. They are not very effective and will significantly raise the room humidity, which itself can be unpleasant.Out of the ones listed, I would be inclined to go for the Inventor Chilly 9000 BTU for small rooms or the De’Longhi Pinguino PACEX100 Silent for medium rooms. You would also need the window seal for effective cooling. Inventor Chilly 9000BTU Portable Air Conditioner Double Hose Air Conditioners: These ones are more expensive than single hoses are less energy efficient than the singles, and also need two tubes to pass through the window. The performance of these air conditioners is suitable even for medium-sized rooms, and are excellent for small studios and parlours. Energy Efficiency Rating/ Reading: The portable units are measured between A to G, with A being the most energy-efficient. Some units are also measured from A+++ to D where A+++ is the most energy-efficient.

Portable air conditioners come in various designs, but the primary difference between them comes down to the hose system. 1. Single-Hose Portable Air Conditioners If you start looking for the heater function after reading the user manual, as I did, don't bother — there's no heater. As far as I know, Honeywell doesn't make dual-hose models with heating, so I'm not sure why that's in the manual.Like an accordion, there's a single exhaust hose that extends. It's 5 inches in diameter and stretches up to almost 5 feet in length to reach a nearby window. It's not the most eye-pleasing tube, but there's a window venting kit that acts as a panel-like attachment that's easy to install and sits in an slightly ajar window. The 14,000 BTU (ASHRAE – 128 Standard) and 7,500 BTU (DOE + 2017 Standard) Portable Heat Pump comes with a full window kit included. The kit works for both horizontal and vertical windows. A: The most apparent distinction between single and double hose portable air conditioners is the number of hoses. As many single hose portable air conditioners are suitable for cooling rooms that are the same size as dual hose models, you will not need to use as much energy after investing in a dual hose AC unit. Dual hoses units will last longer, and the filter will also remove more allergens from the air, increasing the quality and reducing the risk of respiratory issues. Sources:

The most important takeaway here is that portable heat pumps don’t generate heat; they move it. Unlike furnaces and electric heaters that use various energy sources to generate heat, heat pumps only “move” the heat that already exists in a space.

You’re advised to use the heat function for supplemental heating only as the portable air conditioner heats a smaller coverage area than it cools, even at full speed. Besides cooling, this particular model has dehumidification, up to 95 pints every 24 hours. It also uses an auto-evaporation system so that I didn't have to drain water from it every few days. In fact, I haven't had to drain the water more a few times over the course of my seven-week test.
