Best Portable Air Conditioner Reviews 2020

How do you cope in those hot (and sometimes humid) summer days? You need an air conditioner to keep your room at optimal temperature which is basically a fancy way of saying: "My room’s temperature is just the way I like it." But what about those days that are much colder than you expected? In this case, combo air conditioners are more suitable for you as they can actually combine both cooling and heating in one appliance if that's what you prefer.

But what if someone would say: "hey guys, I live in an apartment and, you know, landlord/tenant agreements forbid me from breaking the walls. So am I left out of the fun?" Not exactly, you can use window air conditioners which fit into existing windows. However, what if you can’t use those too because of housing rules?

If this is your situation then don’t worry, folks like you are our focus here. We are talking about portable air conditioners, the compact and mobile type that sits on the floor (or if small enough, on table) and can be used in your living room in the day and moved to your bedroom at night.

There are a few things you need to take note of when picking your portable air conditioner. First of all, consider the space you’ll be using it in. It is also important to note whether you’ll use it in multiple rooms (in this case, you need an appliance with greater mobility) and whether you have a preference for a compact unit that cools your room on summer days and provides heat on winter nights. You also need to decide if you intend to buy a standalone dehumidifier or you want a portable A/C that has that feature built in.

Let’s take a look several important aspects you need to know when shopping for mobile air conditioning units.
