Black+Decker BXAC40008GB
A straightforward, high-output workhorse with a strong 40 L/day dehumidification claim and a self-evaporating system that reduces manual draining. It lacks Wi-Fi and heating, so it is less flexible than the Pro Breeze flagship, but it is simpler and often cheaper.
Full Black+Decker BXAC40008GB review →Pinguino PAC EX100 Silent
The EX100 Silent is De'Longhi's flagship portable, combining an outstanding A++ rating and 3.6 EER with a quiet 49 dB(A) minimum and RealFeel comfort control. Running costs are notably lower than most rivals, though you pay a steep upfront price and it is frequently out of stock.
