Cool, man!
I needed this to have a cool head in a cool office. I bought it because it has a "Best Buy" rating in UK consumer magazine "Which?" It works very well at the cooling/dehumidifying business. It would be nice if it were quieter, but I do realise that this is essentially impossible for a mobile unit - only a permanent split aircon with the works outside would deliver that. In an office environment, it is fine (much the same noise level as a fan), but I wouldn't recommend trying to sleep with with one in the same room.
Pro
- Works well
Contra
- Silent it isn't
Super device
Pro
- Cools quickly
Contra
- Rather loud
Does the job.
A fairly sturdy build, water drain very low, one needs a frying tray to drain the water into. With around 28 Celsius outside it can cool down a few degrees if the room is not exposed to direct sunlight. Also very important to find another window or ventilation shaft from where replacement air can flow in from. Otherwise the same heated air is flowing back in small gaps even with window kit and then it is helpless.
I don't regret buying it but it will never live up to a proper wall mounted split system.Pro
- Given well shaded windows, it can cool the room a few degrees.
Contra
- Loud.
- I don't think it could handle above 30 Celsius outside temperatures.
- No wifi.

Top mobile air conditioner
Very simple commissioning. Only the air discharge hose needs to be attached and the unit can be used. The design and the cooling capacity are good. The machine is not quiet but not too loud either. I use it in the office. You don't need to drain the water either. The machine does it all by itself. Top appliance. Highly recommended.
Pro
- Simple installation
- user-friendly
- good design
- cools very well
Contra
- nothing
Efficient but heavy!
After another model was cancelled with a delivery time of over 11 days, the above model arrived in no time! Super. Unpacking: Easy! Transport via stairs to the first floor: not recommended for older people. Fortunately, as a globetrotter, I have a multifunction plug (remember: German mains plugs do not fit into Swiss sockets). With foresight, I ordered a new window with a hose outlet (will arrive in approx. 7 days). Costs: Approx. 2 x costs for the device ... but what can you do for the environment!
Pro
- Rapid commissioning
- Complete delivery
- Works efficiently, quick cooling
Contra
- Why does Switzerland supply a model with a mains connection for Germany? A mystery!!!
- Not particularly environmentally friendly without hose outlet adapted in the window environment
- Transport via stairs only for backs that are already defective (weight)
