What is good
- One of the most powerful single-unit portables (3.5 kW) for rooms up to 30 m2
- Genuinely quiet for a monobloc, around 49 dB(A) at the low setting
- Real Feel tech adjusts temperature and humidity together
- Eco R290 refrigerant
What to watch
- Single-hose design pulls warm air back into the room, lowering real-world efficiency
- Large and heavy to move between rooms
- Only A energy class, not the top tier
Installation & the rules that apply
This is a portable monobloc. The most regulation-light option by far. No F-gas certified installer is needed because you never break into the refrigerant circuit, no planning permission or permit is triggered since nothing is fixed to the building, and a landlord usually cannot refuse it as there are no permanent alterations. The main constraints are the tenancy or building rules on window-kit appearance and noise nuisance to neighbours.
