Buying a decent floor-standing air conditioner

Floor-standing air conditioners have many advantages over other types of climatic technology. The price of floor-standing air conditioners is reasonable, and the optional is sufficient to create a pleasant atmosphere in the room. What features do you need to know before buying a floor-standing air conditioner?

Benefits of floor standing air conditioners

The main difference between floor-standing air conditioners from competitors is the lack of a special installation. By purchasing a floor-standing air conditioner, you get a small but very efficient device that consumes a little electricity and can work alternately in all rooms.

The installation consists only in bringing the air duct to the street through an opening in the window or ventilation, as well as ensuring the drainage of condensate. Many of the best models are equipped with condensate tanks with a capacity of up to 8 liters. So the problem of liquid drainage is removed automatically.

If you buy a floor-standing air conditioner without an air duct, installation is reduced to connecting to an electrical outlet.

The price of a floor-standing air conditioner without an air duct is slightly higher than models with an air duct. Convenience covers all costs, however.

Floor standing air conditioners without duct

This is a novelty on the market. Water is used instead of refrigerant. The innovation works according to the simplest principle - when air is pumped through a generously moistened porous filter, water takes away heat.

The unique system operates without condensation, there is no need for liquid drainage.

The price of a floor air conditioner is 13 - 17 thousand rubles.

It is interesting that the efficiency of such a system is higher when the vents are slightly open in the room or there is a forced inflow-blowout system. The hotter it is in the room, the more you will feel the coolness from the purchased floor standing air conditioner without an air duct.

Advantages of floor-standing air conditioners without duct:

• no need for hot air extraction;
• no drainage system needed;
• work quieter than conventional floor air conditioners;
• provide air flow;
• regulate the humidity in the room;
• consume little electricity.

Despite the low price, floor-standing air conditioners without an air duct also have a number of disadvantages:

• it is impossible to calculate in advance the efficiency of work;
• periodically it is necessary to add ordinary tap water to the system. The frequency of addition depends on air temperature, materials of finishing and humidity. Typically, the tank needs to be filled once every 2 to 4 days.
