Meaco MeacoCool MC Series 12,000R Portable Air Conditioner - Powerful Portable Air Conditioner, Energy Efficient with Two Window Venting Kits included

Product Information

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. I also tested the Russell Hobbs RHPAC11001 Portable Air Conditioner Unit at the same time as the MeacoCool MC Series 7000BTU Portable Air Conditioner and while both are effective units, the MeacoCool MC Series 7000BTU Portable Air Conditioner is best suited to those seeking a compact and lightweight unit that's easy to move around the house or transport. Meaco recommends the MeacoCool MC Series 7000BTU Portable Air Conditioner for use in rooms between 12-22m² whereby it can suck 7000 British Thermal Units of heat from the air per hour and discharge it outside. You do this by removing the two filters at the rear of the unit and then using a hoover to clean both sides.

A third reviewer commented on the ease of assembly and effectiveness of the cooling and value: ‘Easy instructions - window and door kit included - easy to put together - decently quiet to run on full blast (no louder than the large fan we have running). The Dry setting uses the room’s ambient temperature to run the compressor and it behaves a bit like a dehumidifier, drawing moisture from the room. An air conditioner with 7,000 BTUs – the generally accepted minimum BTUs for maximum efficiency – can cool rooms between 18 and 20 square metres.Before you get to the unit, there’s a couple of tubes in various sizes (that will become the duct and drainage hose), the parts to create a window seal and some daunting looking plastic shelving-like plates. In countries such as the UK and Europe, as well as some areas of North America, a full-blown AC system either isn't needed often enough to be worth the expense, or may just be too much trouble to have fitted. We push boundaries to develop products that reduce energy consumption and electricity bills without compromising on quietness or comfort for your home. 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. On Dry Mode, you are removing the need for an additional dehumidifying appliance as this portable air conditioner doubles up by removing moisture from the atmosphere to get to an ambient temperature through the fan.

The Meaco range has an Energy Rating of A, meaning you can run them without worrying about the effect on your bills. Models with the heating function can be used in the winter months to provide warmth and comfort making them great investments that can be used all year long. It’s not a big deal if you’re using the cool mode either way, since the whole room will decrease in temperature.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products.

The remote may not be the most exciting to look at, but the included batteries are always a bonus, and a remote control is a great addition to aid ease of use.This operates the top-mounted louvre which oscillates from a near full vertical 90˚ to about 20˚ horizontal.
