Portable Air Conditioner Recommendations?

Hi, I'd love to know what people have bought and would recommend. I have a small 2 bedroom flat and think the time has come to buy one before the imminent summer heat. Under £350 would be fantastic too!

We’ve had one of the Midea ones since last year for our main bedroom and just bought one of these for the teenagers bed room as he was melting this past week - https://www.airconcentre.co.uk/products/premiair-4-in-1-8000-btu-portable-air-conditioner-with-remote-wifi-dust-filter-white

Despite being cheaper, it’s a bit quieter and solidly built. It does come with multiple windows fittings. Sash ones are OK, but the side opening fabric ones are not to good - that’s overall not just this model. I’ve used a sheet of acrylic for both of ours and cut the connector to fit onto that, with the acrylic sheet Velcro’d to the window frame.

Make sure you check the room size you want to use it for; not sure you’ll get the whole flat done with just one though you might if you leave the doors open.

we just got one - worth noting that portable air conditioners are still actually very heavy so probably not going to be carrying from room to room very much

I won't be carrying it at all. It will be permanently positioned in the hall by the window, for the vent. Which make did you go for?
