What usually goes wrong
Portable air conditioners are almost always gloss white, and they sit in the open where nothing hides them. In a room with grey or dark furniture they read as an appliance parked in the living space.
How this one answers it
Same machine, grey cabinet. The louvre, panel and handles are all in the same tone, so it sits against a grey sofa or a slate floor without drawing the eye.
The two safety features that matter with children about
The child lock disables the panel so a set point cannot be nudged. The tank cut-off stops the compressor before condensate can spill. Both marks on this image, ETL and DOE, are the manufacturer's own certifications for the model.
Sleep mode is not just a quieter fan
It eases the set temperature upward through the night so the compressor runs less as the room cools naturally. The unit is rated 55 dB or under, and the 1 to 24 hour timer can switch it off at a chosen hour rather than running until morning.
The four parts you will handle
Castors to move it, a louvre that tips 90 degrees up and down and turns 60 degrees sideways, a drainage hole that takes the supplied hose, and a filter that pulls out for a rinse. Side handles give you something to lift by.
What you get
Grey cabinet
The same machine as the white version in a grey finish, panel and louvre included.
8,000 BTU ASHRAE, 5,300 BTU SACC
Rated by the maker to 230 sq ft, against the seasonally adjusted number.
Dry mode at 40 pints a day
Runs for moisture rather than temperature on a humid but mild afternoon.
ETL and DOE listed
Both marks appear on the manufacturer's own artwork for this model.
Child safety lock
Freezes the touch panel. The remote can still reach it if you need to change something.

Frequently asked questions
Is the grey unit any different inside?
No. The capacity, modes, noise rating and accessories match the white version of the same model. Only the cabinet finish changes.
What does auto shut off when the tank is full mean in practice?
Condensate collects inside the unit. When it reaches the limit the machine stops cooling and signals instead of letting water escape. Connect the supplied 25.5 inch drain hose to the drainage hole and the water leaves continuously, so it never gets to that point.
Which BTU figure should I use for sizing?
The SACC figure, 5,300 BTU, and the 230 sq ft coverage that goes with it. ASHRAE 8,000 BTU is a fixed laboratory measurement and Danby notes it is generally the higher of the two numbers for the same unit.
Can I use it without venting the hose out a window?
No. The hose carries away the heat the unit has taken out of the room plus the heat the compressor makes. Venting it indoors leaves the room warmer than it started.
