Black+Decker BXAC40025GB
Unlike its bigger sibling this 9,000 BTU model adds BLACK+DECKER Home app control, and it is frequently the cheapest smart portable AC around. Cooling output and the 21 L/day dehumidifier suit medium rooms well, though the quoted large room coverage is optimistic.
Full Black+Decker BXAC40025GB 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.
