as well as a 24 hour timer so that you can set your conditioner to turn on and off on your schedule all of this can be controlled with the use of a remote control keep in mind this unit has a noise output of 57 decibels which is about as loud as your average conversation so if you're a light sleeper let me pose a problem for you number 5 Frigidaire cool connect portable air conditioner this affordable AC unit boasts a maximum 12 000 BTU output and a remote for convenient control without getting up from the couch or bed the air conditioner is suitable for rooms that are up to 550 square feet making it a good choice for cooling and office or Den it also has a dehumidifier function to help reduce the ambient moisture in the air setup of this unit was similar to the rest with one hose connected to the back of the air conditioner and venting through a window mount while this AC was able to cool a 500 square foot room from 81 degrees Fahrenheit to 72 degrees Fahrenheit in about an hour it was one of the quietest among the units we tested after using the air conditioner for two weeks we saw no difference in output meaning it seems to be reliable and efficient remote control made it easy to change settings without the need to be near the unit while this unit performs well we did find the hose attachment was a bit flimsy and would fall out of the back of the unit when moving number four black plus Decker 12000 BDU portable air conditioning with heat designed for more than keeping cool the black plus Decker portable air conditioner is a multifunctional model that does the work of four appliances in one Sleek package in addition to air conditioning this portable unit can function as a heater fan and dehumidifier in short it offers year-round Comfort making it a smart investment and well worth the cost in controlling mode this portable air conditioner is rated for 6000 BTU but if you need to take off the shell then this unit is equipped with a 10 000 BTU heater to warm up your space the manufacturer recommends this model for rooms up to 550 square feet in size swinging louvers distribute the Cool Breeze or warm air throughout your space and you can take advantage of other modes too like a sleep option or a 24 hour timer aside from Heating and Cooling performance the black plus Decker portable air conditioner with heater stands out with a self-evaporating design which reduces the need to empty the drain pan when the unit is functioning in cool mode it also comes with a remote control to adjust the mode or setting of the unit even from across their own the most noticeable shortcomings are the fact that the LCD display can't be dimmed at night and the unit lacks smart features it's also loud at its highest fan speed registering at about 75 decibels but we recommend this portable air conditioner with heater if you aren't sensitive to ambient light at night don't require app or voice assistant integration and can give a little peace and quiet for cool or warm air when you want it number three winter Arc 14s dual hose portable air conditioner this winter dual hose portable air conditioner features a maximum output of 14 000 BTUs suitable for rooms up to 500 square feet in size the portable AC unit can be set to cooling fan only or dehumid of higher mode the fan speed in the cooling and fan mode can be adjusted between

tested setup took a few minutes as we connected each hose to the back of the unit and screwed the window panel in we turn the unit on when our 600 square foot room reached 80 degrees Fahrenheit the unit was set to the lowest cooling setting at 61 degrees and the highest fan setting cold air was instantly pushed to the top vent and the room was noticeably cooler within 10 minutes where traditional portable air conditioners are bulky this model is Sleek stainless and Slimmer than most number two LG lp0621 wsr portable air conditioner this LG portable AC performed pretty well on just about all of our tests the unit was able to cool down our test chamber quickly and maintain that temperature the LG lp0621wsr has decent portability and handling and drills smoothly even on carpet its handle placement and center of gravity help keep it moving without falling over this LG portable AC is loud on the highest setting but lower settings are much quieter ranging from 57 decibels down to 46 decibels the controls are easy to read labels and it has an intuitive layout our only complaint is that switching between fans friends can take up to 4 seconds to finally switch number one the long e three in one portable air conditioner the DeLonghi pinguino three in one portable air conditioner is our pick for the best portable air conditioner to splurge on because of its smart sensing remote and quiet motor this portable air conditioner has 14 000 BTUs and can cool rooms up to 700 square feet large it monitors the temperature and humidity in your space plus your position in the room and then automatically adjust the unit to keep your room cool this feature sets this model apart from the rest because most of the others on our list need to be programmed by the user rather than anticipating your needs as a dehumidifier it holds up to 170 pints of water collected from the air typically with an air conditioner putting out so much energy the motors tend to be loud but not this unit it has an output of 52 decibels but it has technology called Arctic whisper extreme that can reduce Noise by up to 3 decibels keep in mind that you do need to manually set timers on this air conditioner should you want it to turn on or off when you're not around so that wraps up our list of the best portable air conditioners hope you found this video helpful and if so please leave a
