If you have young children, this can lead to a disturbed night for everyone. Having a portable air conditioning unit upstairs or in your master bedroom can make the surroundings far more comfortable and conducive for sleep. The best thing we ever bought. Got us through two summer babies just under two years apart. Not too expensive to run, pretty quiet and frankly essential when we lived in a new build rented mid-terrace where rooms would hit 35C. In the recent heatwave, it was 40C outside and 20C in our bedroom. Amazing!” (Tried and tested by LabradorFiasco) Our verdict

Like other portable ACs, you’ll need to vent it outside a sliding window or door to get the hot air out of the room. But it’s an easy process that takes less than 10 minutes.

How we chose the best portable air conditioners

Performance - The unit has a cooling power of 7000BTU, an air flow rate of up to 380 cubic metres per hour, a dehumidification rate of up to 19.2 litres per day and a thermostat range between 16 and 31 degrees Celsius. Another big advantage of portable AC’s is that they take up little space. The Amcor SF8000E is especially ideal for small rooms with limited floor space. In addition to a cooling capacity that can cool 18sqm, the SF8000E also works as a fan and dehumidifier with 4 mode settings. However, the fan does get noisy once you hit the higher settings. To take advantage of this great offer just simply add the warranty extension you want and we'll do the rest.

BTU rating: 7000 BTU | Functions: Air conditioner, dehumidifier and fan | Energy rating: A | Noise level: 48 - 65dB | Speed settings: 2 | Hose length: 150cm | Dimensions: 30.5 x 67.8 x 32.8cm | Weight: 21kg | Power: 792W What we like As for running costs, a higher BTU rating generally means the PAC will be doing more work and consuming more energy, but not all units are created equal. Your air conditioner should have an energy efficiency class, from A++ down to G, just like your fridge or cooker. The higher the class, the more efficient the unit will be.
