Russell Hobbs Portable 3-in-1 Air Conditioner, Air Cooler, Dehumidifier, 670 W, 1 Litre, Includes Window Seal Kit, RHPAC3001

Product Information

So whilst the best fans definitely work to cool a person thanks to the breeze they create that does a surprisingly good job of cooling the skin, only an air conditioner can dramatically lower the temperature of an entire room or living space. And only an air conditioner will deliver that fridge-like cold air we all crave in a heatwave. Do portable air conditioners cost a lot to run? Compact space-saving design with easy-roll omnidirectional casters helps you move your “Chilly” wherever is needed most.

I tested out Staubs Pumpkin Cocotte Cast Iron Casserole to see if it is worthy of a place in your kitchen all year round ENERGY EFFICIENT: Class A Energy Efficiency rating to ensure that keeping cool in the summer heat is totally cost effective. Utilising Industry leading R290 refrigerant which is more Eco-friendly and energy Efficient than traditional air conditioning gasses. Generally speaking, portable air con units begin at around 7000 BTU, and not surprisingly the price increases with additional performance power. The most powerful portable air conditioners tend to be around 16000 BTU, so on paper this 11000 BTU option, whilst not cheap, is a good price for its mid-range capabilities. Beyond that, this air con unit is bulky and heavy. It weighs in at 31.5kg, one of the heaviest units we've tested, so carrying it upstairs is a definite two (strong) person job. But, it looks good. And its curved front, minimal design, and gloss finish all make it far more unobtrusive in a room than you might expect. The build quality is also solid and robust.

Customer reviews

However, if the noise level is an issue for you then the great thing about the Russell Hobbs RHPAC11001 Portable Air Conditioner is its Night mode function. Ingeniously, this feature not only reduces the brightness of the display screen so that it doesn’t light up the bedroom at night, but it also means the unit works more quietly and keeps the fan speed low so that it doesn’t disturb your sleep. Ease of use Large easy glide castors and ideal for rooms in homes, caravans, conservatories and office environments up to 30 sq m TIPS FOR USE - Ensure the unit is vented through a window, wall, ceiling or door to allow it to extract heat from average sized rooms up to 20m2 This product also comes with a free one year manufacturer guarantee.

This type of air conditioner recycles the moisture in the air and does not require a drainage hose. Once inside the unit, moisture moves across the coils and cools them down. If there is any moisture left at the end of the process, it is vented out through the exhaust. The main benefits of self-evaporating air conditioners include energy efficiency and effectiveness. Not only does the recycled moisture cool the coils, but it also helps the machine cool down the room faster. These appliances are also more lightweight and compact. MULTI FUNCTIONAL - Cooling, dehumidifying, fan or sleep mode for different need. Dehumidify Capacity : 28L/Day. 2 speed fan mode(low-Speed/Middle-Spped/high-Speed), maximum air circulation: 400 m³ / h.The wind could swivel left-right & Up-to, can supply 140°Wide Angle airNow, if your goal is for a room to be chilled quietly, none of these portable units are going to be for you. Having the whole unit inside, which half of it usually sits outside the home, makes it quite loud under operation. But if the option was to have this little machine loud or to sit in 30c with a fan blowing around that hot air, I would take this every day of the week. For example, the Mobile Split-type room air conditioner is a high-capacity unit with 4.3 kW power. It comes with 4 rollers and a flexible hose, effectively keeping the heat outside the room. The total weight of both units is 49 kg, with dimensions amounting to around 33 x 47 x 69 cm. FUNCTIONS IN 1 - This unit is able to function as an air conditioner, dehumidifier and an air cooler. COLOURS NIGHT LIGHT: The cooling fan has 7-color LED light. You can select your favorite color to improve sleep and use it as a night lighting. Please note that: Begleri Air Cooler is designed for personal use only and doesn't cool rooms. I should point out for reference, I live on a boat, which is obviously more enclosed than an open space, so your mileage may vary.

ENERGY EFFICIENT – Featuring a 7000 (BTU) cooling capacity and an A energy rating, this model provides powerful cooling in any room up to 14m², whilst keeping energy use to a minimum. We found the the best bet is to run the air con unit in a bedroom for a few hours before you want to go to sleep, and then turn it off once you turn in for the night. However, a higher BTU also means a higher price tag, and likely higher running costs, so it's a balancing act of investing as much as you can for better performance against how much you're willing to pay upfront for a unit. Room size TOP TECHNOLOGY: Premium air conditioner with precision air quality control that provides consistent temperature control in any room in the house; enjoy the simplicity and precision of programmable, electronic controls with an LED digital display with a 24 hour on/off timer and energy saving sleep mode; the convenient remote control means you can operate anywhere in your room and the 45 db silent operation on low speed will ensure maximum performance with minimal disturbanceYou might also want to consider whether you want your portable air conditioner to come with a timer, remote control, or WiFi connectivity. Relatively affordable, lightweight and compact, energy efficient and easy to use, there's a lot to love about the MeacoCool MS Series portable air conditioners. Which is why we think they're the best portable air conditioner to invest in if you're looking for an affordable all-rounder.

Russell Hobbs RHPAC3001 portable air conditioner 0.3 - Comet

Whichever controls you opt for, the unit is very easy to use and it's simple to select which mode and fan strength you want. The unit performed solidly during our testing, reducing the temperature in the room by 2°C in 10 minutes. Like most air con units it isn't silent, there's 51-53dB of noise depending on if you opt for the low or high cooling setting, but it's a downside our testers were happy to accept in return for its temperature-reducing powers.WATER TANK – When used as a dehumidifier, the RHPAC3001 can extract up to 600ml an hour. The built-in water tank can be manually drained, or fitted with the supplied 1m hose to ensure constant drainage. Noise-wise, according to the specs in the user manual the Russell Hobbs RHPAC11001 Portable Air Conditioner should be louder than alternatives like the MeacoCool MC Series 7000BTU Portable Air Conditioner I tested. However, when I positioned both units a metre away from me and tested them one after another, the Russell Hobbs option 'felt' the quieter of the two. I then used a sound-measuring app on my phone to compare them properly (disclaimer; I can’t vouch for the reliability of the app) and the Russell Hobbs unit read approximately five decibels quieter on Fan mode (both at low and high speed) and its Cool air conditioning mode. This has the effect of dramatically reducing the temperature in the room. In our tests, we found the best portable air conditioners, used in a well-sealed room, could reduce the temperature by up to 10 degrees in under an hour. COOLING FEATURES: This portable Air Cooler features multi-purpose operating modes including air cooling, fan-only, natural and night-time modes making it the perfect cooling solution for any home, bedroom or office
