such a relaxing and informative video. This video is definitely one of those unintentional asmr haha

This was a good informational video. Thank you 🙏🏽

Great video. Thank you for you advice

Thanks a lot, this is a really good video. I would have added whether you're gonna use it in a humid environment.

Brilliant thanks…..Aristotle reckon difference between A rated and A plus rated energy use is 20% less?….wondering if that is correct?

Thanks fot thé info! I shall just invest in a high BTU 12K and above. or decrease to 16° or lower!

If it’s hot as hell should you compensate by select a higher BTU than you normally would based on room size? There’s more demand when its 120 degrees outside.

Which are the ones with that timer feature?

Hello L-E, thank you very much for the info in this video, very helpful. I would like to ask you a question. On all portable air conditioners there are usually two air intakes on the back of the unit; one is called the air filter and the other one the intake grille which is always located at the bottom. The air filter is always removable and washable no matter the brand and model but the intake grille is sometimes removable and washable and sometimes not. So my question is the following: Does it matter much if the intake grille (bottom one) is removable and washable or not? If not removable, how can it be properly cleaned? Thank you very much in advance for considering my query. Best regards, Sebastien Vallieres

I am considering using a Portable AC unit instead of a Heat Pump. I know that they are not designed for this, but would it be possible to vent the Portable AC down into the basement and out a 5-6" vent through the foundation like you would do for a heat exchanger or dryer? This would make it less intrusive then putting the vent in the window. This would be better for security because it is easy for a burglar to knock out the vent pipe to access a home, but it would be much harder for the burglar to squeeze through a 5" vent in a wall or foundation

I bit the bullet and had 4 wall mounted units fitted 3 ( 12000 btu ) and 1 ( 9000 ) Running them on eco mode they dont seem to cost much to run

Very interesting 👍🏻👌🏻

I just got Nedis Smartlife 9000BTU for 3600SEK and was one of cheapest ones for good quality I could get but got side panel pop out from fabric and checked then radiator and it had damage from fabric too first day use and fan on lowest feels too high noice and highest is 65db but 65db way to high for my ears. will call my company to get new one and send old one back after one day of usage or I will keep it if they give me 25% price cut. portable AC in Sweden goes from 3000SEK and feels expensive vs other country.

What’s the quietest AC unit you know of?

Another is if single or dual tubes. And make sure your electric plug will work.

I suck at math im curious to know what type btus should i get for a large studio room or the size of a dining room 🤔 i also heard these portable units get very hot when there on all day? Also i heard some have inventors...what exactly do those do? I heard those are supposed to be better.?

Is this a reload video Andy ? I'm sure l seen and liked this review air conditioner video in your last postings 🤔.

You forgot to mention, draining them of the collected water, this can be really awkward if the unit is heavy, and for some elderly people impossible, as the position of the drain valve is usually at the very bottom of the unit, making it impossible to place a container underneath

You forgot about drainage!
