How to choose a portable floor air conditioner?
The most important characteristics of portable floor-standing air conditioners:
- power;
- the volume of the container for collecting condensate;
- manufacturer (synonym - quality);
- functional;
- dimensions and weight;
- design;
- reviews on portable floor air conditioner.
Air conditioner power
The power is selected depending on the area of the room that needs to be cooled.
This is the main characteristic and it is very important to take it into account. No amount of rave reviews about portable floor-standing air conditioners will help if you install weak equipment in a large hall. Data on the recommended area can be found in the instructions.
Drainage tank volume
Some models are even produced without it. That is, water constantly flows out of the drainage tube, under which you substitute a bucket, jar, or whatever you want. It is very uncomfortable. Therefore, the larger the volume of the container, the less often you will have to remember the need to empty it. The developers took care of the consumers and came up with an evaporation system. The condensate simply evaporates into the room air.
You should ask your consultant about the availability of such a function. By the way, new models of mobile air conditioners without air ducts also do without a drainage system, the price of portable air conditioners of this type can reach 17-18 thousand rubles.
Manufacturer
The best manufacturers offer more reliable models. The price will help determine the quality.
Pay attention to models that cost 15 thousand rubles or more. The most "sophisticated" will pull all 30 thousand.
Functional
Most of the models are equipped with the same set of options, they cool and heat the air. Some are equipped with good filtration and ionization systems, a timer, and are controlled by a remote control.
Design
It's nice when the equipment fits into the interior. Most often, the design of mobile air conditioners does not differ in special delights. That, of course, cover other advantages and, first of all, the price of portable outdoor air conditioners.
Dimensions and weight
A mobile air conditioner, by definition, should not weigh half a ton. Therefore, the lighter and more compact it is (while maintaining functionality), the better.
