Description
x10000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner with 24H Timer and Self-Evaporation
Under 46 dB from a 10,000 BTU machine is the unusual part. It is rated 7,100 BTU on the SACC scale over 350 sq ft, carries a 7 CEER efficiency figure on R32 refrigerant, and evaporates most of its own condensate away through the exhaust hose.

The machine that has to be switched off to hold a conversation
What usually goes wrong
Most portable air conditioners in the 10,000 BTU class are rated in the low fifties on the decibel scale, which is close to a conversation. In a living room with the television on, people end up turning the unit off to hear each other.
How this one answers it
This one is rated under 46 dB, closer to a quiet library than a conversation, with a dedicated sleep mode and a 24 hour auto on and off timer on top.
Five things printed on the spec sheet
7 CEER is the efficiency figure, higher than most units at this capacity. R32 is the refrigerant. The self-evaporation system carries condensate out as vapour. ETL is the electrical safety listing. Water full shut off stops the unit before anything spills.
Reading the coverage figure properly
350 sq ft is quoted against the 7,100 BTU SACC rating, not the 10,000 BTU ASHRAE one. 206 CFM of air flow is what carries the cooling across a room that size. Large glass or a tall ceiling both shrink the real figure.
Three details that make it easier to live with
The filter pulls out and rinses. The cord winds onto a moulded organiser instead of trailing. The drain hole underneath takes a plug or a hose. The louvre blades adjust 70 degrees one way and 100 degrees the other.
What you get
Under 46 dB
Low for a 10,000 BTU machine, with a dedicated sleep mode on top.
7 CEER on R32
A published efficiency figure rather than a claim, on a modern refrigerant.
Self-evaporation with water full shut off
Most condensate leaves as vapour. If the level does rise, the unit stops rather than spilling.
206 CFM of air flow
Matched by the maker to 350 sq ft of coverage.
Adjustable blades
70 degrees in one axis and 100 degrees in the other, set by hand.
26 ft remote and a cord organiser
Long remote reach, and somewhere for the 6.1 ft cord to live when the unit is stored.

Frequently asked questions
How quiet is 46 dB in practice?
A library sits around 40 dB and ordinary conversation around 60 dB, so under 46 dB is closer to the library end. Most portable units of this capacity are rated in the low fifties, which is why this one is worth a look for a living room or a bedroom.
What does 7 CEER mean next to the BTU figure?
CEER is cooling output divided by electrical input, including standby draw. It is the number to compare when two units have the same BTU rating, because it tells you which one does the same work for less electricity.
Do I still have to drain it?
Rarely. The self-evaporation system sends most condensate out as vapour through the exhaust hose. If the humidity beats it, the water full shut off stops the unit, and a 2 ft drain hose is supplied for continuous draining.
Which BTU number matches my room?
The SACC figure, 7,100 BTU, which is what the 350 sq ft coverage is based on. ASHRAE 10,000 BTU is a fixed laboratory measurement and Danby notes it is generally the higher of the two.
