The Chillflex Pro is remarkably quiet when you consider how effective it is at cooling moderately-sized spaces.

If you’re stuck at home during the lockdown and sorely missing the office air-con, then a portable air conditioner such as the AEG Chillflex Pro is the next best thing. When opened there is another filter similar to the one above that needs to be cleaned with water and left to thoroughly dry.If I was in the room with the air con unit, then I definitely found the Min fan speed the most pleasant to be around volume-wise. Inside the box, along with the air conditioning unit, you get a drainage tube, adaptor ring and exhaust hose. Pay in 3 is a form of credit, may not be suitable for everyone and use may affect your credit score. Stand in front of the unit for few minutes on Cool mode and you'll soon start to feel positively chilly so quick is it to dispense the fridge-cold air.

All Chillflex Pro models come with AC, dehumidifier and fan modes – although the three most expensive models also come with a Heat setting. The large control panel at the top of the unit has the same list of features, along with a small LCD screen in the centre which displays the output temperature. It's one of the heaviest portable air conditioners we've tested, so if you need to get it upstairs then you'll need a couple of strong pairs of arms to lift it. The final outlet is the one at the very bottom of the appliance near where the power cable enters the appliance.

It also comes in handy for when you need to dry your laundry indoors as it helps speed up the process! If this information did not resolve your question, please leave a thumbs down and comment on how you feel the article could be improved by one of our team.

However, I have a fairly small home and small rooms that are relatively well insulated in comparison to many buildings. There's one row of slightly embossed control buttons, and above them a set of lights that show you which settings are currently activated. There are recessed handles either side of the unit, and built-in wheels on the base so you can roll the unit when you reach flat flooring, but the unit is still very bulky and heavy, so definitely requires two people with a good amount of strength to lift it safely. Its a breeze to set up, you just plug the unit in and vent the provided hose out of a nearby window or door. It’s not too noisy easy to set up, and works well; If you don’t want to go full on with the aircon and want to reduce the temp in a small/medium room, this is the suitable unit for you!

This is always the most fiddly part of getting any portable air conditioning unit set up, so make sure to factor in some time for this part of the process.
