HOMCOM Portable Air Conditioner 7000 BTU, 4-in-1 Mobile Air Conditioning Unit with Cooling, Fan, Dehumidifier & Sleep Mode, LED Display, Remote Control, 24H Timer, Window Kit for Rooms up to 26㎡ [Energy Class A]

The media could not be loaded. Haven’t done a lot of reviews previously, but thought this would help people. Seem to be able to spend a lot of money on air conditioning units and this one was more reasonably priced. I have given it 5 stars as does what it says on the tin. If I give you some pros and cons will help your understanding of these units:ProsCan easily cool 1 room or multiple smaller rooms. Has kept the bedroom and landing cool.Powerful fan with 2 settingsEasy to understand controls, don’t need to use the remoteLooks better than some of the other units.Has an inbuilt collection for the water (reduces humidity). I empty every so often, does not need permanent connection as internal reservoir is fine.I have run it continually for over 24hours at one time and no issues to report. Have now used it on and off for a couple of weeks and no issues.ConsThe unit is heavy, but this will be the same with all proper airconditioning units as the main unit is basically the mechanics of a fridge. Has wheels, but if you want to take up and down stairs you need to be able to lift a heavy weight, think small fridge.Air conditioning units are noisy, but they all are unless you have a fixed one for several thousand pounds and the motor is then outside. To get round this by some extra flexible ducting and you can put the unit in a separate room and then direct the cool air into the room you need. Have slept with it going in another room.By some extra flexible ducting anyway as the semi rigid pipe that comes with it is very good but too short to put the exhaust out of the fanlight window.I would recommend this product for use in the UK where we have spells of hot weather. The unit can be stored away when not in use.

After scouring the internet for best prices (b&q, Wickes, Screwfix) I found Amazon to have better pricing, free delivery and actual stock, it was the best option! I never heard of this manufacturer but thought if no good Amazon has great returns policy / warranties etc. It arrived next day, ordering during the crazy May heatwave, outside was 30c in my lounge we had 16c! using the ac unit.I had to get a hinged window Velcro sheet to connect the 'included' hose to (also included a sliding window mount but I don't have any of those windows). used the remote control to turn on and choose required temperature and within the hour could feel the coolness.Bad side is, noise but to be honest it's no worse than a washing machine on spin. Annoying to have conversation or watch tv but no problem for me i live alone and can use headphones for TV etc.Overall, I'm happy with the unit, delivery was quick, the price is acceptable (if you have looked into a permanent a/c and hiring an electrician you'll have a comparison) it cools quickly and very well (oddly on unit lowest setting was 21c, but with the remote can be 16c). I'm sure it uses a fair bit of electric but I'm yet to receive a bill to confirm.Cools so much better than a traditional standing or desktop fan, and I need it cool as I have heart failure and the heat effects my blood pressure causing fluid to collect in feet and lungs. Usually, i end up in hospital for it every summer but not this year! ****

This was only £269 so I set my expectations accordingly. Our room is 28 sq meters (4x7), so 30% more than the recommendation. It performed fairly well considering - cooling the room after about 30 mins down by 5 (30 to 25) degrees which was cool enough for me. I made a wooden template for the window opening, with a hole for the pipe to ensure a good fit. It's fairly noisy, (possible to watch TV over just if you turn the TV louder). , but I only used it as an emergency for the recent 40 deg. UK heatwave. If I wanted one to use on a regular basis, I'd look for something quieter. It has a drain attachment, but didn't need draining so far. Overall pleased with the purchase.

Bought this for our flat which gets very hot and we were approaching a heat wave. Have to say it works even better than expected! It was one of the cheapest on the market so I didn’t know how efficient it would be but it starts to cool the room down as soon as I put it on. Our bedroom is large (about 4m x 4m) so I bought the 10,000 BTU and it works great. My only issue is that there are no lights in the remote control buttons, so when using it at night you can’t see what any of the buttons are, so I have to turn the lamp on to use it - but given that this is a cheap model it’s not the end of the world. It is noisy but I’m able to sleep with it on without any problem. If you’re looking for a budget air con unit I would highly recommend! Put simply - it works!

I’m not too impressed with it, yes it blows out cold air and probably keeps the room a little bit cooler but I haven’t found it any better than my fan as yet. It’s very awkward because you have to have the tube going out of the window so it’s very difficult to move it around. I had it facing me because at least I would feel the benefit of the fan. But I never felt that at all and then I went to the other side of the room and it seemed to be on that side of the room which was very confusing. I can’t work out which is the best settings to have it on because the instructions are basically non-existent and I’ve looked on YouTube and can’t find any. I would not recommend this.
