What is good

  • Compact Italian design with a small footprint
  • A+ energy class, efficient for a portable
  • Eco R290 refrigerant
  • Easy to wheel between rooms

What to watch

  • Lower 2.1 kW output suits only smaller rooms
  • Single-hose, so it draws make-up air through gaps
  • No Wi-Fi

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.
