Let’s face it, portable window ACs sitting in a room will never look good. It’s an appliance sitting out in the middle of the room. Maybe some AC company will get creative and turn it into a table, but not the .
A growing number of air conditioners now have electronic controls. Much like the digital thermostats for heating systems, these can (fairly reliably) hold the room at a certain temperature, shown on a digital display. Many also include a timer feature that allows the user to set an “on” or “off” time–great for, say, having the air conditioner activate automatically to cool a room before you return home from work.
How quickly the air conditioner on its high fan setting cooled a room sized for the particular unit and how accurate it came to meeting the temperature set point. An oversized air conditioner is less effective, wastes energy and does not provide better cooling. When installing your new unit, be sure to follow the instructions in the manual and use the included insulation materials.
You can select high, medium or low, use the energy saver button, or set the timer to come on an hour before you get home. You’ll be able to switch through three different functions with the Arctic King 10k portable air conditioner. There’s the cool option, the fan option, and the dry option, which can be very beneficial, especially when there’s a lot of moisture in the air. Also worth noting is that the AC unit features 4-way directional cooling, just like the Frigidaire BTU air conditioner does.
Plan to get another in of these units next year for another part of the house. Just wish they made Frigidaire fridge a larger btu size unit with the wireless feature. This app is the worst one I keep on my phone.
As an alternative, you may also want to compare this model to the Anbber Portable Air Conditioner that’s also energy efficient and only needs 3.5 watts of power to work. The capacities are calculated based on an 8-foot ceiling. If you have higher ceilings, you may want to select a room air conditioner with a higher CADR. Cooling capacity is shown in British thermal units (BTUs) per hour. Discover Arctic King window air conditioners by Midea.
