Overview

Adjustable side panels close the gap beside the unit, and the cabinet rests in a window opening within the stated width and height. A rotary compressor and a washable dust filter do the cooling and air handling.

The small output matches a bedroom or a small living room. Auto restart brings it back after a power cut, and a long cord reduces the need for an extension. It lacks an inverter, so cycling on and off is expected.

Who it's for

Renters or apartment dwellers with a small bedroom and a window within the opening limits. Larger living spaces need a stronger unit.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Adjustable side panels
  • Quiet rated operation
  • Long power cord
Cons
  • Heavy to lift into place
  • Limited to small rooms
  • No remote listed

Performance notes

Cooling output sets the room size it can handle, so exceeding the stated floor area leaves it running constantly. Without an inverter the compressor switches fully on or off to hold temperature. Window width limits decide whether the side panels reach.
