10 Things To Consider Before Buying A Portable Air Con Unit

1. Room Size 0:15 2. BTU's 1:34 3. Energy efficiency 3:09 4. Noise level 4:15 5. External vent 4:56 6. Other functions (heat/fan/dehumidifier) 6:08 7. Portability/mobility 6:42 8. Remote control/programmable 7:27 9. Size 8:35 10. Price 8:58

I feel so proud of my self lol I didn't watch any video prior to buying my portable aircon and I can say that all these features except the ability to turn on my air con before I get home were considered, and formed the basis of the unit I eventually went for :)

such a relaxing and informative video. This video is definitely one of those unintentional asmr haha

This was a good informational video. Thank you 🙏🏽

Brilliant video mate thank you

Great video. Thank you for you advice

Thanks a lot, this is a really good video. I would have added whether you're gonna use it in a humid environment.

Brilliant thanks…..Aristotle reckon difference between A rated and A plus rated energy use is 20% less?….wondering if that is correct?

Great guide. Helps me a lot. Cheers!

Thanks fot thé info! I shall just invest in a high BTU 12K and above. or decrease to 16° or lower!

Which are the ones with that timer feature?

Hello L-E, thank you very much for the info in this video, very helpful. I would like to ask you a question. On all portable air conditioners there are usually two air intakes on the back of the unit; one is called the air filter and the other one the intake grille which is always located at the bottom. The air filter is always removable and washable no matter the brand and model but the intake grille is sometimes removable and washable and sometimes not. So my question is the following: Does it matter much if the intake grille (bottom one) is removable and washable or not? If not removable, how can it be properly cleaned? Thank you very much in advance for considering my query. Best regards, Sebastien Vallieres

Very interesting 👍🏻👌🏻

Thank you very much, great video 👍

If it’s hot as hell should you compensate by select a higher BTU than you normally would based on room size? There’s more demand when its 120 degrees outside.

You forgot to mention, draining them of the collected water, this can be really awkward if the unit is heavy, and for some elderly people impossible, as the position of the drain valve is usually at the very bottom of the unit, making it impossible to place a container underneath

Been looking at the air conditioning system units but I don't want to stick a pipe out off the window seen some with ice packs

I bit the bullet and had 4 wall mounted units fitted 3 ( 12000 btu ) and 1 ( 9000 ) Running them on eco mode they dont seem to cost much to run

Hi please can you help me ? I bought 12000 btu blyss unit yesterday .when the unit is on air con mode no air is expelled from the back at all .when i put it in dehumidifier mode it blows really cold air and expells hot air from the back pipe .it seems to work allot bettter in dehumidifier mode as in ac mode the hot air seems to be being taken from the room .is this normal ? My understanding is when AC is on it should always expell air ? Please help .

I have a very odd shaped room in the loft conversion, so all i could do really is guess the room size, 12k btu kept shutting off and on again not cooling the room, so i guessed the btu's were too high, so i purchased a 2nd unit at 8000 btu's and this one continually runs and BOTH leak and both units leak and i cannot run either of them without a winodw open, if i shut all the windows to seal the room the air con units do not work properly heating the room up??? however,....if i run BOTH the air con units the both still leak BUT they work as they are meant to??? (too expensice to have a wall mounted unit along with matinence costs), to this day i have no idea which btu size i need :(
