Small portable air conditioner (150 square feet)
- Relatively inexpensive
- Exhausts collected water outside
- Dehumidifier and remote control
- Small size
- No timer
- Louder than some
- Not powerful enough for larger rooms
The Edgestar Koldfront PAC8000S is one of the least expensive portable air conditioners on the market, and it receives a large number of recommendations -- almost 100 -- from owners posting reviews to retailer websites. This 8,000-Btu air conditioner can cool a room of up to about 200 square feet (about the size of a typical bedroom) and includes a remote control, dehumidifier-only function and digital thermostat. It does not usually require manual draining because water is exhausted through the air pipe. We find an average number of complaints about noise for this model. If you need more cooling power, a timer function or quieter operation, consider the Royal Sovereign ARP1000ES (*Est. $500).
