How to select a portable air conditioner?

  • Purchase a portable air conditioner with a high cooling capacity of at least 10,000 BTUs. Units less than 9000 BTUs are not sufficient to keep you cool during an extremely hot summer.
  • Look for a unit that offers a self evaporating or a built-in water pump. This eliminate the need to manually drain the unit of water on a daily basis.
  • Look for units that have at least 4 stars per our editor's ratings.
  • Buy quality brands such as: Danby, Sharp, Alen™ and LG

How does a portable air conditioner work?

A portable air conditioner is rated in the number of British Thermal Units (Btu) of heat they can remove per hour. Your portable room air conditioner should be generally, at least 12,000 BTUs for a room size of 300 to 400 square feet. The size of your air conditioning unit also depends on many factors such as how much shade you receive, how much insulation is in your home's ceiling and walls and size of the room to be cooled.

A portable air conditioner operates the same way as window air conditioner. The key difference is portable room air conditioners come with an exhaust hose that directs the hot air from the back of the portable air conditioner unit through a window or a cut out in a wall where as window air conditioner units do not have this feature. Some portable air conditioning units also have a water reservoir that collects the condensation from the air which needs to be emptied once or twice a week.
