As well as offering powerful air conditioning, this energy efficient A rated model is packed full of useful features and is essentially a 3 in 1 unit - Air Conditioner, Dehumidifier and Fan.

Of course, even when your portable air conditioner warranty is over, you'll still be covered by the Australian Consumer Law for a reasonable amount of time. Overall, the Amcor SF8000E is a great choice for those who want to keep their sanity and save money during the increasingly hot UK summers. Some portable air conditioners do give you an indicator of the room size they'll cover, but not regularly. A 9,000BTU unit will handle a space of approximately 45 cubic metres, while a 12,000BTU unit could go up to 90 cubic metres.It also has smart wi-fi connectivity (compatible with iOS and Android), a remote control, 24-hour energy-saving timer, energy-efficiency rating of A, three speed options (running at 65 dB on the max setting), and comes with a full set window kit. It comes with the same CST remote control, which support’s DeLonghi’s myEcoReal technology to keep temperature and humidity at a comfortable level, while reducing energy consumption and noise.

Some units can evaporate this internally and exhaust it through the hose or the back of the unit; in other models, it’s kept in an internal reservoir that needs to be emptied manually.My wife is so impressed she said we should get another unit for the bedroom or move the bed into the hedgehog hospital!
