The demand for portable floor air conditioners is increasing annually. The main advantages of such devices is mobility and low price. On how to choose a mobile air conditioner, read on.
How to choose a portable floor air conditioner?
The most important characteristics of portable floor air conditioners:
- power;
- the volume of the tank for collecting condensate;
- manufacturer (synonym for quality);
- functional;
- dimensions and weight;
- design;
- reviews of portable floor air conditioning.
Air conditioner power
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 consider it. No enthusiastic reviews about portable floor air conditioners will help if you install weak equipment in a large room. Data on the recommended area can be found in the instructions.
The volume of the drainage tank
Some models are even available without it. That is, water constantly flows out of the drainage tube, under which you substitute a bucket, a jar or whatever you want. It is very uncomfortable. Therefore, the larger the capacity, the less often you will have to remember the need to empty it. The developers took care of consumers and came up with an evaporation system. Condensate simply evaporates into the room air.
The presence of such a function should be obtained from a consultant. By the way, new models of mobile air conditioners without air ducts also do without a drainage system; the price of floor-standing portable air conditioners of this type can reach 17-18 thousand rubles.
Manufacturer
The best manufacturers offer more reliable models. Determine the quality will help the price.
Pay attention to models costing from 15 thousand rubles and above. The most "sophisticated" will pull on all 30 thousand.
Functional
Most models are equipped with the same set of options, cool and heat the air. Some are equipped with good filtration and ionization systems, a timer, and are controlled from the remote control.
Design
It's nice when the equipment fits into the interior. Most often, the design of mobile air conditioners is not distinguished by special delicacies. Which, of course, is covered by other advantages, and first of all, the price of floor-mounted portable air conditioners.
Dimensions and weight
Mobile mobile air conditioning, by definition, should not weigh half a ton. Therefore, the lighter and more compact it is (while maintaining the functionality), the better.
