What is a portable air conditioner?

The portable air conditioner is a monoblock air conditioner on wheels that houses every component in a single appliance. Unlike wall-mounted models, it has no outdoor unit: the hot air is expelled through an exhaust hose to be positioned towards the window. You plug it into the socket, switch it on and it starts cooling the room, with no fixed installation at all.

When a portable is the right choice

The portable is ideal where a fixed split cannot be installed. It is the right choice in a rented home, in apartments where you are not allowed to drill the walls or hang the outdoor unit, in period buildings under preservation constraints and in all situations where you only need to cool for a few weeks a year. You move it from one room to another as your needs change, from the bedroom to the living room.

How the exhaust hose works

The principle is simple. The air conditioner cools the air in the room and, in doing so, generates hot air that must be carried outside through the exhaust hose fitted to the window. For the best performance it pays to seal the gap around the hose well, so that the hot air does not flow back in. Many models include a window kit that makes the job quick and tidy.

How many BTU you need

The power of an air conditioner is measured in BTU, and the higher the value the larger the room it can cool. In our catalogue you find above all these sizes:

  • 9000 BTU: suited to bedrooms and rooms up to around 20 m².
  • 10000 BTU: indicated for living rooms and slightly larger spaces.

For very large rooms or open-plan spaces, where a steady performance is needed, a fixed wall-mounted split can be more efficient.

The brands and prices available

You find models by Ariston and Kosami, with prices ranging from around 248 to 403 euros. They are all available and ready to ship, so you can face the heat without waiting. If instead you are looking for a fixed solution that is more efficient over time, take a look at the entire air conditioners section.

Portable or fixed split, how to choose

The portable wins on flexibility and requires no installation, but a wall-mounted air conditioner with a heat pump offers lower consumption, less noise and the ability to heat in winter as well. Those who like to manage everything from their smartphone can consider the smart home models with Alexa and Google Home. The portable remains the best answer when a fixed installation is not possible.

Frequently asked questions

Does a portable air conditioner need an outdoor unit?
No. The portable is a monoblock that houses everything in a single appliance on wheels. It does not require an outdoor unit: the hot air is expelled through an exhaust hose to be placed towards the window, so you need no holes in the walls and no building work.
How do you install the exhaust hose at the window?
You connect one end of the hose to the appliance and the other to the window, generally using the included kit. For good performance it pays to seal the gap around the hose, so that the expelled hot air does not flow back into the room.
How many BTU do you need for a 20 m² room?
For a room up to around 20 m², 9000 BTU are usually enough. For slightly larger rooms or those very exposed to the sun, it is better to move up towards 10000 BTU to get adequate performance.
Can I use the portable air conditioner in a rental?
Yes, it is one of the best solutions in a rental. It requires no fixed installation and no permanent changes to the property, so it is ideal where you cannot drill the walls or mount a fixed split.
Is the portable air conditioner noisy?
Since all the components, including the compressor, are in a single block inside the room, the portable is a little noisier than a fixed split. Many models, however, offer a low-noise night mode to ensure good comfort while you rest.
Can I move it from one room to another?
Yes. The portable is fitted with wheels and moves easily from one room to another. All you need is an available window for the exhaust hose and a power socket nearby.
