At long last, the British summer is finally here! You’ve probably found this review because you’re sick of trying to work, sleep or simply live your life through a sweaty summer in a country where the aged housing simply isn’t built to keep you cool. Or perhaps you’re looking to get ahead of the curve and pick up one of the best portable air conditioners before the rest of the sticky weather arrives.
Here, I’m reviewing the new MC Series Pro 10000 air conditioning unit by MeacoCool. The number refers to the unit’s BTU (British Thermal Units) rating, and in this case 10000 BTU means we’re looking at an AC unit designed to cool spaces of between 18 and 28 square metres, or about 190 to 300 square feet. MeacoCool also makes similar units with ratings ranging from 7,000 (enough to cool about 12 square metres) all the way up to a whopping 16,000 BTU (40 square metres). For context, the average UK home has a total floor space in the region of 94 square metres and the average purpose-built flat is about 58 square metres.
