Our larger air conditioners give you much more cooling in practice, with no more noise than a smaller unit. in weight, this is one of the lighter air conditioning units I've tested which makes it much easier to transport around the house. You get used to it, mind, but it’s always there in the background – at least until the built-in thermostat detects the room has reached the required temperature. It was such a relief to be able to get cold and sleep comfortably during the heatwave so well worth it every penny !

If the room is bigger than 30 sqm, you might need to install more than one air conditioner or go for a higher power rating. All MeacoCool air conditioning units come with a 3 year exclusive warranty only available from Air Con Centre for ease of mind when purchasing. As mentioned, this unit is also very lightweight compared to most portable air con units we've tested.Other than that, putting the batteries in the remote control is the only real additional set-up the MeacoCool MC Series 7000BTU Portable Air Conditioner requires. To get the very best use out of the MeacoCool air conditioning range, we recommend pre-cooling rooms before they need to be used so that they are nice and cool for when they do need to be used.

Meaco does give you a bunch of window seal accessories to help make this process as easy as possible, however.You can read more about BTU’s and air-con in general in our Portable Air Conditioner vs Evaporative Cooler guide but in a brief nutshell, a BTU is an international measurement used to illustrate the cooling capacity of an air-con appliance, so the more BTUs the unit has the more efficient it will be at cooling a room. We don’t have a sliding door or window for me to try the fixed window plates on, however, this method also looks very straightforward. The standard window kit is suitable for sash windows, whereas the flexible window kit is suitable for all types of windows. Noise-wise, I found the Meaco Portable Air Conditioner slightly louder than the Russell Hobbs one, but only marginally so, and a little extra noise kind of comes as part of the deal if you're running an air con unit, and is well offset by the relief of that icy air during a heatwave! For this, the supplied drainage hose needs to be attached to the back of the unit to provide continuous drainage.

The window kit included measures at 170cm and therefore if you're trying to cover a sliding door, there will be a small gap at the top.The label has been on the forefront of the domestic cooling industry since it expanded into the sector in 2017, providing top of the range MeacoCOOL devices that sell-out in record timing. Plus, this lower BTU machine means lower energy consumption, with the MeacoCool MC Series 7000BTU Portable Air Conditioner's 780W power usage making running costs lower than most mobile air con units. Derek (aka Delbert, Delvis, Delphinium, Delboy etc) specialises in home and outdoor wares, from coffee machines, white appliances and vacs to drones, garden gear and BBQs. Thanks to its lightweight and compact design, the MeacoCool MC Series 7000BTU Portable Air Conditioner is a great option for a smaller home, as well as for anyone that wants a portable air con unit that's actually portable! The MC 14000 is packed with features that can be accessed via the included remote or from the top of the air conditioner itself, and as with installation, it’s incredibly simple to control, with clear, self-explanatory buttons.

You can use the same drainage hose that you’d use on Dry Mode to empty this, which may be necessary on very humid days.

You do this by removing the two filters at the rear of the unit and then using a hoover to clean both sides. At just 29Kgs and with the benefit of castors it is easy to move about as required and the remote control allows you to change the settings without having to get up to the unit. As mentioned earlier, portable AC units need to suck the hot air out of your room and that hot air needs to go somewhere – that somewhere is outside the window.
