Drops room temp 6-7°C reliably
Living room was 27°C during the heatwave. This brought it down to 20°C in about an hour and kept it there. Proper cooling, not just blowing cold air around like a fan. Worth every penny.

Suited for living rooms, bedrooms, and office spaces where compact dimensions and environmental responsibility matter. New original stock with full manufacturer's guarantee. This unit solves the common problem of bulky air conditioners that consume excessive floor space and cannot be flexibly moved between rooms, whilst using eco-friendly refrigerant that reduces environmental impact.

Living room was 27°C during the heatwave. This brought it down to 20°C in about an hour and kept it there. Proper cooling, not just blowing cold air around like a fan. Worth every penny.
My previous portable AC sounded like a jet engine. This hums along quietly – I can have the TV on at normal volume and hear it fine. Sleep mode is barely noticeable.
Wasn't sure I'd actually move it between rooms, but the wheels make it effortless. Kitchen during the day, bedroom at night. Hose detaches in seconds. Genuinely versatile.
Monitored it on my energy tracker – runs about 6 hours a day and costs roughly £1. Eco mode brings that down to about 70p. Far cheaper than I expected for proper air conditioning.
