Russell Hobbs Air Conditioning Unit, 11000BTU 2 in 1 Portable Air Conditioner & Dehumidifier, 1200W, Remote Control, 21m2 Coverage, Window Sealing Kit, Suitable for Home & Office, RHPAC11001

I have been using this air-con for the past couple of months and I can't believe that I went 5 summers in my current house without having this. We live in a new build coach house with nice new insultation. It makes it nice and cozy in the winter, but boiling in any sort of heat. I decided to bite the bullet and get a portable air-con unit to help control the somtimes 30c temperatures it would reach in the living room and bedroom. As an overall pacakage, I don't think you could get any better than this little unit. It is a great size to be able to fit in a closet during the winter, but can chill a room down really quickly once on. Now, 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. I am also basing this review on the air-con portion only, as I don't use it as a dehumidifier. If you use it in that mode, you will need to instal rubber tubing that will pipe out the water from the unit, but using it for only air-con that isn't needed. I think it stores the small amount of water it creates in a tank that you will empty at the end of the season. I honeslty can't say enough for this device. Most of the negative reviews on here I am not sure if they have read through the manual or are not using it properly, but if you do your research and understand what you are buying this is a great product for the price. TLDR - Great air-con for the size and price. It can be a bit loud while chilling, but the cool air is worth it.

This thing is a lifesaver in the summer, works great as an air conditioner, cooler, and dehumidifier all in one. It's pretty quiet too, though I wouldn't run it overnight. The best part is how easy it is to use - just stick it near a window with the seal kit and you're good to go. The design's really nice looking and made of quality plastics. Delivery was a bit of a nightmare, but that's not the product's fault.

I work from home several days a week and as a result my home office environment is very important to me. As the room is south-facing, it gets super hot during the summer and also my computer is quite high performance and can throw out a lot of heat when working on a task. As such, bought this Portable AC unit to keep the room cool. From 25-26 degrees it can get the room down to 19 (and keep it there) In less than 30 minutes. This has made working in the summer a ton easier. A major plus side to buying this machine was the included Window kit that works with standard UK casement windows (e.g. opening outwards with one hinge on the side). The machine is quite loud, but I do not notice it when I am wearing headphones, and as long as you don't strive for the room to be at a super low temperature, it will eventually become a lot quieter as it reaches temperature. I haven't found its power usage to be unreasonable whilst heating or cooling. In addition, I have not needed to perform any significant maintenance on the machine since getting it.

Really impressed with this item. Looks good compared to other models, nice slim size, and does the job. It’s cools quickly and perfect for most medium sized rooms. The noise is a little loud when used to full capacity but like the instructions say you don’t need to have it set on 18 which costs more to run and in my opinion pointless. As a result I have mine on 22-24 and it’s not to loud, you can sleep with it on. The remote control and sleep mode work well. The only problem I had was fitting the exhaust tube through my window, as my window is not a slider. After investing a further £15 on a window fitting kit I now have the perfect air conditioner and at a decent price on Amazon 👍

This unit is okay, it cools the room but not to our liking, it says 18c on the air con, but we have tested with two thermometers in the room and the lowest it has reached is 20c. Our old air con, took the room down to 15c, which was perfect in the summer to cool the room before heading to bed, knowing you could turn off the aircon and sleep in comfort. With this one, we have to either leave it on, which is very noisy or suffer the fait of the room heating up overnight.

This is a loud portable air-conditioner/dehumidifier that lets everyone know it's been activated. The window kit is absolutely huge, so you'll likely need to buy a smaller one unless you're fitting to a Velux-style window. Cable is quite short, so think about plug sockets/extenders around your window area. The good points are that this works effectively and when correctly setup, brings the room temp down by a couple of degrees in 30 minutes.
