Meaco MeacoCool MC Series 10,000R Portable Air Conditioner - Powerful Portable Air Conditioner, Energy Efficient with Two Window Venting Kits included

Product Information

However, when it comes to portable air-con, size most definitely matters. And besides, in the pantheon of household and office coolers it’s actually not that bad a looker. Yes it comes in hospital white livery, but it’s also aesthetically simple with rounded corners and therefore slightly inconspicuous – if you don’t glance in its direction. What I’m trying to say is that there are much uglier looking units out there. Installing the window kit for the first time takes a little time and effort, but once this is done it can be kept in situ for the whole summer. Its slimline design is also perfect for those who are tight on storage space, as it can easily squeeze into a cupboard, under a worktop, or behind some furniture when it's not in use.

For added convenience, the whole shebang can also be operated using the supplied remote control which mirrors the controls on the unit. However, when a heatwave strikes, outside is often hotter than inside, so for some the extra running costs and energy consumption of a portable air conditioner will be worth the added expense for short periods of the year. We agree that the MeacoCool MC Series 7000BTU Portable Air Conditioner offers great value for money, and is very effective at cooling considering its price. I would recommend it to anyone looking to cool down a small bedroom, home office, nursery, or similar over the summer. It doesn’t take up too much space to store either and is very easy to set up and use. The big advantage of the MeacoCool range is its smaller, lighter and a more compact size. This means you can easily put it in rooms of all sizes, and to move it from space to space.READ NEXT: The best portable air conditioners top buy today MeacoCool MC 7000: Key specifications and price We don’t have a sliding door or window for me to try the fixed window plates on, however, this method also looks very straightforward. It just involves sliding the pieces together to fit the size of your sliding door or window and then securing them with the screws provided. Then feed the hose through before closing the sliding door/window to secure it in place. Like most air conditioners, the MeacoCool MC Series 7000 uses refrigerant to cool the air, but it does use the more sustainable R290 variant so it’s a little greener than older air-conditioners that use R410A or R22.

Our range has an Energy Rating of A, meaning you can run them without worrying about the effect on your bills, and we have also reduced the running noise, giving you a quieter air conditioning unit to see you through the warmer months. Noise-wise, I found the Meaco Portable Air Conditioner slightly louder than the Russell Hobbs one, but only marginally so, and a little extra noise kind of comes as part of the deal if you're running an air con unit, and is well offset by the relief of that icy air during a heatwave! Verdict Our range of MeacoCool air conditioners is perfect for people who want to maintain a comfortable temperature at home or in the office. Compact, portable, quiet, and easy to use, these are superior-quality, energy-efficient air conditioners. Meaco have added some great features to the MeacoCool range, to help you create the best environment for work, play or sleep. The Meaco units are perfect for the areas in your home that get the hottest - conservatories, bedrooms, home offices and gyms. They're great in an office environment too, where you want to keep colleagues comfortable and productive.According to the manual, the air filters must be cleaned once every two weeks because otherwise dust will collect on them and restrict the airflow which could affect the efficiency of the unit.

Not only does this MeacoCool 10000 CH provide you with the perfect cooling solution throughout summer, the reverse heat pump allows you to use it as a heater in the winter too, making it a investment you can use year-round.We’ve also added a timer. This allows you to set the air conditioner to operate for anytime between one and 24 hours, so you can set it to come on for an hour before you go to bed, or before you get home in the evening, resulting in rooms that are the perfect temperature when you need them. The unit is small and light enough to manhandle from room to room, too, and small casters attached to the base make it easy to manoeuvre on hard floors. If you have carpet, however, you’ll have to lift it. MeacoCool MC 7000: How well does it cool?

Introducing the brand new range of MeacoCool portable air conditioners perfect for home and office use providing personal comfort during the summer months.

A cost-effective air conditioner that works brilliantly – but it’s a little on the noisy side

Another review says: ‘Does the job, it is very loud. All sleep mode does is switch the brightness of the display down. It’s a bit heavy so not ideal for going up and down stairs but has wheels to be able to move around.’ Design-wise, the MeacoCool MC Series 7000BTU Portable Air Conditioner looks pretty good when assembled, although it does have a bit more going on visually than other models we tested and I wouldn't say style was one of the key elements of its design It's also a very affordable option compared to other models. It's not the most powerful option out there in terms of BTU, but Meaco offers plenty of alternative models, ranging from this the smallest 7000BTU through to a 14000BTU model. At just 20.5kgs in weight, this is one of the lighter air conditioning units I've tested which makes it much easier to transport around the house.
