Which Portable AC Unit Should You Buy?

Alright, so we’ve made it to the end… still not sure which portable air conditioner is best for your space? We’ve broken down the five models tested and provided recommendations below, depending on what exactly you’re looking for.

Best Coverage: De’Longhi

For the best area coverage, the Delonghi is the best option in this comparison. This AC unit states that it can cool areas up to 700 square feet, which is 200 sf. over the closest second place unit, Whynter.

Best Portability: Honeywell

If you’re looking for an AC unit with the best portability, the Honeywell is an excellent option. This unit is the lightest of all 5 models compared here, maxing out at only 43 pounds. (De’Longhi is the heaviest at 83 pounds.) This unit also had the quickest install and didn’t require any tools.

Best Value: TOSOT

From our in-home performance tests that we ran, the TOSOT air conditioner was arguably the best performing unit and definitely the best value (in our view). It dropped the indoor temperature by 11.5°F, from 89.2° down to 77.7°F within a 4-hour span. Granted, it does cap out around 300 sq. ft. for total coverage area. When you overlay these factors vs. its price point it makes for a strong value.

Best Airflow: Whynter

This unit has a 14,000 BTU max and is the only air conditioner in this review with a dual exhaust system, meaning it can output twice the amount of air as the other units. It would be a good choice for rapid cooling larger areas (up to 500 sq. ft.)
