When it gets hot enough to melt a pair of flip flops, there isn’t a fan in existence that will make you feel as cool as a portable air conditioner. After all, a fan just recirculates the warm air around you so, while it is definitely better than having no fan at all, it won’t cool you down sufficiently to feel comfortable. By stark contrast, the right size of portable air conditioner will blow fridge-like temperatures in your direction and generally lower a room’s ambient temperature if left on long enough.
However, you can’t just buy the best portable air conditioner, bung it anywhere in a room and expect it to perform as it should. This is because there are many things to consider before you even think of bringing one into the home.
