Overview
A rotary compressor drives this portable unit, which cools, dehumidifies or runs as a fan and sends hot air out through a hose fitted to a window kit. A remote controls the settings, and a drain hose handles the collected water.
The window kit, foam seal and drain hose are all in the box, so it can be set up in a typical window without extra parts. The limitation is the compressor design, which is not an inverter type, and the rated area suits a room of modest size.
Who it's for
Renters who cannot mount a window unit and want a freestanding cooler for the room they sleep or lounge in. Owners of a large space, and anyone who wants a quiet inverter machine, should look at other designs.
Pros and cons
- Cools, dehumidifies and works as a fan
- Window kit and drain hose included
- Removable washable filter
- Rated for a fairly large room
- No inverter compressor
- Window opening range is limited
- Noise level is notable
Performance notes
The compressor removes heat from the room air and the hose carries it out through the window kit, so a tight seal at the window decides how well it cools. Without an inverter it cycles on and off rather than modulating. The washable filter needs rinsing to hold airflow.
