Description
x8000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Dehumidifier Function and Sleep Mode
At 25 inches tall this is one of the shortest cabinets in the category, low enough to sit under a window sill rather than beside it. Cooling is rated 8,000 BTU over 230 sq ft, with 300 cubic metres of air an hour and a 50 pint a day dry mode.

The unit that will not fit under the window
What usually goes wrong
Most portable air conditioners stand 27 to 30 inches tall. Put one under a low window or beside a radiator cover and the top fouls the sill, so it ends up out in the room with the hose stretched across a walkway.
How this one answers it
The cabinet is 25 inches tall on a 13 by 14.5 inch base, which clears most sills. The exhaust connection can then run straight up and out with a short hose rather than across the floor.
Measured against a window sill
25 inches tall is unusually short for this category, where 27.5 inches is the norm. The base is 13 by 14.5 inches, so it is a slightly wider, lower box. That shape is easier to tuck against a wall under a window.
The fan figure behind the BTU number
300 cubic metres an hour is the maximum air flow, which is what carries the cooled air away from the machine. Two fan speeds let you drop it back at night, and the manufacturer rates the whole unit at 56 dB.
Six things the panel does
Two fan speeds, three modes, sleep, a 24 hour timer, the temperature setting and the swing. The display sits behind a dark strip so it reads clearly from standing height, and the remote repeats every key.

Frequently asked questions
Does it run on a normal Canadian outlet?
Yes. The manufacturer's own specification gives the power supply as 110 to 120V at 60Hz, which is a standard household socket. That is worth confirming rather than assuming, because larger air conditioners in other categories often need a 208 to 230V circuit.
How big a room will it handle?
The manufacturer quotes 230 sq ft or more for this capacity. No seasonally adjusted SACC rating is published for this model, so treat the coverage as a guide and size down if the room has a lot of afternoon sun.
What window does it need?
The suitable window size is 26.5 to 49.5 inches. Crank out casement windows need a panel cut to the opening, because the sliding kit supplied cannot seal against that frame.
How noisy is it?
The manufacturer rates it at 56 dB, which is a little below normal conversation at 60 dB. Sleep mode and the lower fan speed both bring it down.
