Meaning this has clearly been taken apart at some point and could even be refurbished for all I know (as it is cracked so somebody has tried to take off the casing). Despite what the manual says, the tank seems to fill up very quickly during normal air cooling and emptying it is a major nuisance. A larger tank means emptying less often so is more convenient, however, with portable air conditioners you’re more likely to see machines that have smaller sized tanks. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

The summer heat can be unpredictable, which is why you need a multi-functional cooling unit to match. Cons aside, this does what it says in the tin and I'm happy to have it during the hot, sticky British summer.You probably won't want this on at night, I put it in the bedroom and used it a few hours before bed to cool the room down. The glass doors do not have polished edges, so they have to be lifted to slide them, otherwise shavings of plastic running rail appear where they dig in.

A small and compact design that can fit into small and tight spaces easily, it features four functions over three speeds: cooling, dehumidifying, ventilating, and sleeping allowing you to be in control and set to a model that best suits you. The machine’s energy efficiency rating is A, so it won't cost a bomb when left to run for a while and is environmentally friendly.

You can easily adjust the angle of the air conditioner to keep you cool no matter where it’s positioned.

Where relevant, we’ve included the British Thermal Unit (BTU) for each machine which refers to the amount of heat that the air conditioner is capable of removing from a room per hour. The outlet is almost at floor level so it is near-impossible to get the stopper out and get something in place to catch the water. Bought ahead of the upcoming UK heatwave, to use in a room that is only 2/3 the size of the advertised effective size for this unit. We use it in the bedroom on the First Floor of our house which due to loft insulation gets styflingly hot end of May through mid-September.
