14 best mobile air conditioners

The invention of air conditioning completely changed the way people think about comfort. Previously, in the hot climate, life in the midday hours faded as everyone tried to hide from the sun in well-ventilated rooms and move less. Buildings were built with walls of one meter, or even one and a half meters thick, in order to preserve coolness, and the windows were made tiny. Now, to cool any area of ​​the room is not a problem, you just need to choose an air conditioner of sufficient power.

Of course, the most popular and most frequently encountered type of air cooling device is a split system, where a noisy compressor is brought outside the building. But there are many rooms in which the installation of a split-system is impossible (for example, buildings with a historic facade, or rented apartments with a ban on installing new equipment) or inconvenient. In such cases, the natural choice is mobile air conditioning. They do not change the appearance of the building, do not require complex work during installation, in the end, they can even grab with them when moving to the country.

The selection criteria for buying a mobile air conditioner are simple:

1. Power. It is determined by the area of ​​the room that needs to be cooled.
2. Type of management - mechanical or electronic.
3. The presence of heating mode.
4. Energy class.
5. Permissible noise level.
6. The need for additional functions - timer, sleep mode, memorization settings.

The disadvantages include a fairly noisy compressor, which is the flip side of good instrument power. Among the additional benefits of the owners mention the convenience of moving a monoblock and its nice design.

The best mobile air conditioners of average power (room size from 21 sq. M to 30 sq. M)

With the increase in compressor power required to cool a sufficiently large volume of air, the price of monoblocks also increases. However, almost all popular manufacturers are trying to compensate for the increased cost of more advanced management, ease of use, and often add to the capabilities of the air conditioner heating mode. We present to your attention the most popular monoblocks of the middle class of power, which are approved by the owners after the experience of actual operation.

4 Royal Clima RM-R26CN-E

With a minimum price in the category, and a maximum cooled area of ​​30 sq.m, the Royal Clima mobile air conditioner also has a heating function.

The flow direction can be adjusted quite accurately, and the fan has three modes of operation for maximum user comfort.

Buyers claim that the case assembly is neat, it is easy to move the candy bar with the help of castors, and the noise level is quite tolerable. A little lacking the function of heating, adding which, one could get a truly universal device. But even in this configuration, as it is, the owners are quite happy with the monoblock, because, according to the majority, it copes with the main task - cooling.

1 Electrolux EACM-10HR / N3

With a cooling power of almost 3000 watts, this candy bar has the reputation of being the quietest in its class.The manufacturer’s stated maximum floor space is 25 square meters, but many consumers claim that 30 square meters is not a problem for him. The required level of cooling is achieved almost instantaneously - thanks to the turbo mode, and then the device simply maintains the desired temperature without making loud noises.

The owners of the air conditioner praise the neat assembly, ease of operation and stylish design. The built-in fan is very powerful, which allows you to quickly lower or raise the temperature in the room, and the dehumidification mode copes with dampness, for example, in the country after winter. A nice option is the function of memorizing settings.

The best mobile air conditioners of high power (room area more than 31 sq. M)

The most difficult task faced by the developers of large candy bars, is insulation. Large compressors sound really loud, and if in splits this problem is solved by simply removing the sound source outside the room, then in the floor air conditioners you have to apply a lot of technical solutions to make the noise level acceptable. In this category, the most successful models for large rooms that effectively cool, but do not disturb the peace of people in the room.

4 Royal Clima RM-R35CN-E

Given that this model is not inferior to classmates in power (3500 W) and serviced area (40 sq. M), its maximum air flow is almost twice as high as the closest competitor and is 9 cubic meters. per minute. Such a fan performance makes it possible to recommend a monoblock for use in rooms with particularly high ceilings, as well as in two-light living rooms, where not so much the area as the volume of the room is crucial.

Despite the fact that the air conditioner is somewhat noisy in maximum mode (65 dB), users are overwhelmingly satisfied with the purchase. The presence of the heating mode pleases in the offseason, effective drainage helps apartment owners on the first floors of buildings to cope with excessive humidity.

3 Zanussi ZACM-12 MP-III / N1

Although this model is slightly inferior in terms of cooling area to the leaders in the category (35 sq. M versus 40 sq. M), its surprisingly low cost and low weight make it one of the best-selling monoblocks in the class. Their disadvantages - the lack of heating function. But despite this, the air conditioner has many positive reviews, as it combines good build quality, reliability and excellent functionality. The device has all the necessary options - timer, night mode, self-diagnosis and storing settings.

The owners are satisfied with low weight, good performance and concise design of the model, which easily fits into any interior. According to reviews, in order to reach a predetermined temperature condition, the air conditioner needs 15-30 minutes, depending on the initial temperature in the room. This is a great option for a one-room apartment or a studio.

2 Electrolux EACM-15CL / N3

Electrolux's reputation as a manufacturer of reliable and convenient household appliances remains unchanged in the field of air conditioning. The developers of the company have worked hard to “pack” the compressor with a power of 4400 W in a compact package measuring only 44x72x37cm. At the same time, like the entire line of monoblocks LOFT, this air conditioner is made in a minimalist style and works almost silently, especially in the night mode. Only one minus - the lack of heating mode.

Buyers praise this model not only for perfect cooling, but also note the concern of the company for the convenience of users - the design of the air conditioner is worked out in the smallest detail. For example, the remote control and the control panel on the case have a pleasant backlight, and the balancing of the mass inside the monoblock is made in such a way that it was as easy to move it on wheels.

1 Ballu BPHS-16H

The cooling capacity is 4,700 W and the maximum area of ​​40 sq. M is practically the limiting parameters for any monoblock. At the same time, the model belongs to the Ballu Platinum series - a luxury line of the company, by designing which, the developers put at the forefront the maximum user comfort. Indeed, according to the owners, with impressive power, the air conditioner is surprisingly quiet, distributes the air flow as delicately as possible, without creating zones of overheated or supercooled air. It has energy efficiency class A, and for heating it uses a heat pump that consumes only 1350 watts.

Customer reviews are almost the same - the candy bar definitely justifies a lot of money invested in it. It can be said that the price is its only flaw. Pleasant trivia in the form of numerous adjustments to the speed and direction of flow, a convenient control panel, a 24-hour timer, and settings memorization functions complement the list of advantages of this successful Ballu model.

The best mobile air conditioners without duct

With all its advantages, mobile air conditioners have one major drawback - the need to bring heated air outside the room. We have to install special bulkheads in the windows in order to fix the corrugated pipe in them. This lack deprived monoblocks without duct. Cooling with them is less efficient, but they have many additional modes and functions.

2 Honeywell CHL30XC

The principle of operation of the older model in the monoblock line without an air duct, produced by Honeywell, is the same: ecologically immaculate evaporation of water. But the capacity for water is increased in it to 30 liters, and power consumption - 250 watts. This allows you to lower the air temperature in the room 50 sq.m., on average, by 5 ° С. The device has a special ice tank to speed up the cooling process. At the same time, this device not only humidifies, cleans and ionizes the air, but also has the function of heating during the cold season.

The special design of the heating element allows you to combine heating with air humidification. This is especially true in apartments with central heating, in which air humidity in winter often does not exceed 30%, which leads to a decrease in local immunity in all, but especially in children and the elderly. Buyers are especially pleased with the cleaning function and high-quality air moistening.

1 Honeywell CS10XE

This multifunctional model is a whole climatic complex: it moisturizes, cleans, ionizes and cools the air, while its energy consumption level is about 100 watts. The principle of operation of this floor monoblock is different from the traditional one: to cool the air, it uses water evaporation, in which heat is spent from the environment. It is necessary to install the device near an open window or organize forced ventilation, as well as pour as much cold water as possible into the humidifier tank, optimally with ice cubes.

Owners of a monoblock claim that the device improves the indoor climate in the most gentle and environmentally friendly way.Of course, it will not be possible to achieve a large temperature difference (the maximum is 3-5 degrees difference with the temperature outside the window), but the air in the room becomes clean, with optimal humidity, which is very good for people with allergies and weak immunity.
