About this deal

It has been an exceptional summer so far, and we're told climate change will deliver more exceptional summers in the future.

QUALITY ASSURED - Comes with a two-year parts and labour warranty from Meaco, the UK's leading air cooling and dehumidifier manufacturer. The standard window kit is suitable for sash windows, whereas the flexible window kit is suitable for all types of windows. This can be combined with the Off Timer to ensure you do not wake up cold and shivering during the night. It’s also a a little unwieldy to transport around on your own, mainly when it’s still boxed up, so watch out if you need to get it up to a top floor flat.

Fan Mode operates in much of the same way as a typical home fan by circulating air rather than cooling it. One of our windows that I tried it on was particularly large, at over 145cm tall, however, there was still more than enough Velcro and the window kit was big enough to do an even bigger window as there was excess left over at either end.

This is the method I use every time and it’s not only neater but when I’ve finished cooling the room, I simply wheel the unit away and everything is back as it was. The fact that one of the drainage hose outlets was positioned midway down the rear of the unit made it much easier to drain than alternative models I've tested in which the outlet is much lower down. We didn’t find it any noiser than other air con units on the market, and the fact that two different types of window kits were supplied was a really bonus.For this, the supplied drainage hose needs to be attached to the back of the unit to provide continuous drainage. However, when a heatwave strikes, outside is often hotter than inside, so for some the extra running costs and energy consumption of a portable air conditioner will be worth the added expense for short periods of the year. They siphon up all the hot air inside a room, dump it outside a window through a hose and then replace it with a cool blast of air, giving you that same cool-room experience you get in air-conditioned hotels abroad.

Unlike some portable air conditioner units, a big plus point for this model is that it comes with two different types of window kits. This is the single worst aspect of portable air con systems because that dirty great pipe and hideous plastic window fittings instantly turn a stylish room into one that is anything but stylish. But when the summer heat is on, a standalone product like this is the only thing that actually makes a difference. I have standard top opening bedroom upvc windows - had to fashion my own fitting to get it to vent out of the window - why do my manufacturers never provide suitable fixings for this. This year I've decided to do my bit by switching my car for an e-bike wherever possible, and we've ditched our power-hungry hot tub.

Whilst it's not the most powerful air con unit the brand offers – there are 8000BTU, 9000BTU, 10000BTU, 12000BTU, and 14000BTU options if you want an air conditioner that has more power or need a unit that can cool a larger room – its smaller size and lighter build is a real bonus for anyone who might struggle to heft a larger unit into position. Sleep Mode comes particularly welcomed for the light sleepers for its ability to keep you at the optimal temperature without loud humming. The Fan mode is the next in sequence and that’s self explanatory, which leaves one more option: Heat.
