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.

MeacoCool MC10000CH

The MC10000CH is the most capable of Meaco's standard MC range and has earned strong reviews for serious cooling at a sensible price. It clears larger living rooms up to 28m², adds genuine winter heating, and ships with both rigid and flexible window kits. Bulky and single-hose, but the performance-per-pound is hard to fault.
