Portable Air Conditioners with Smart App Control, Dehumidifying, and No Permanent Installation

Cool any room without permanent installation:

Our range of portable air conditioners provides effective cooling for bedrooms, living rooms, conservatories, home offices, and open-plan spaces without the need for a wall-mounted split system or outdoor unit. Each unit is freestanding and connects to a window via an exhaust hose, making them suitable for rented properties, listed buildings, and homes where permanent air conditioning installation is not practical. Plug into a standard mains socket, attach the exhaust hose, and the unit is ready to cool.

3-in-1 air conditioning, cooling, and dehumidifying:

Every unit in our range combines three functions in one: air conditioning to lower the room temperature, fan cooling for air circulation, and dehumidifying to extract excess moisture from the air. The dehumidifying function is particularly useful in Irish homes where humidity, condensation, and damp can be persistent problems in bathrooms, utility rooms, and conservatories, even outside the summer months.

Choosing the right BTU for your room size:

BTU (British Thermal Units) measures the cooling capacity of the air conditioner. The higher the BTU rating, the larger the room it can cool effectively. As a guide: 5,000 BTU suits small rooms up to 14m² such as bedrooms and home offices, 9,000 BTU covers medium rooms up to 28m² including living rooms and conservatories, and 12,000 BTU handles larger rooms up to 34m² such as open-plan kitchens and studio apartments. Choosing the correct BTU for your room size ensures efficient cooling without excessive energy consumption.

Smart app control and voice assistant compatibility:

Selected models feature Wi-Fi connectivity with app control via the BLACK+DECKER Home app, allowing you to adjust the temperature, change modes, set weekly schedules, and switch the unit on or off remotely from your phone or tablet. Higher-spec models also support Amazon Alexa and Google Home voice commands for hands-free temperature adjustment. The programmable 24-hour timer on all models allows you to schedule the unit to start cooling before you arrive home or switch off automatically during the night.

Quiet operation and energy efficiency:

Noise levels across the range start from 45dB on low speed, comparable to a quiet library, making our portable air conditioners practical for bedrooms, nurseries, and home offices where excessive noise would be disruptive. Energy-rated models deliver cooling performance with lower running costs and reduced environmental impact. All units use modern refrigerants with low global warming potential.
