Buying guide
Match BTU to room size (roughly 60–80 BTU per m²). Undersized units run constantly and still feel warm.
Plan the exhaust hose: sash, tilt, or sliding windows need different kits. No hose vent = no real cooling.
Check night-mode dB if the unit will sit in a bedroom. Anything over ~50 dB will wake light sleepers.
FAQ
Do I need landlord permission for a portable AC?
Usually no permanent works are required — just a temporary window seal. Always check your tenancy terms.
Portable AC or dehumidifier in a damp flat?
If the main issue is moisture/mould rather than peak heat, start with a dehumidifier — it costs less to run year-round.
