Central air conditioners have been the go-to solution for many homeowners in the US. However, portable air conditioners are gradually proving their worth and becoming a consumer favorite. While they may not possess the efficiency of a window unit, they provide more comfort than a fan. Portable air conditioners are not as expensive to operate as central air-con units, and their portability offers flexibility and convenience for the changing seasons. best air cooler

At an average weight of 50-80 pounds, portability is hardly the best defining trait of the average portable air conditioner. Setting up such an appliance takes up time and effort; couple that with its weight, most portable AC’s remain stationary.

So, why go small? Apart from saving up floor space, smaller units are more efficient in their performance. According to the US Department of Energy, a room air con, too big for the area it should cool will be less efficient than a smaller, suitably sized unit. This is because the oversize unit cools the room to the set-point of the thermostat before the onset of dehumidification, creating a clammy, uncomfortable feeling.

Therefore, ideally, you want to get the smallest portable AC that will effortlessly cool your room without using excessive energy. However, the size of your appliance is contingent on the size of your room, since some smaller units may be unable to cool a more extensive room effectively.

We have proudly placed the Haier HPC12XCR at the first spot based on its height, weight, and general user experience.

This model retains a cooling power of 12,000 BTU, suitable for a 450sq-ft. room.

Our recommendation for 10,000 BTU, is the LG LP1017WSR which is ideal for smaller rooms of up to 300sq-ft. This model is slightly shorter than the Haier, although it weighs five pounds heavier.

We reached our decision regarding the best small ACs after analyzing data and measurements from more than 50 models. Finally, we compiled a list of 40 models, which was based on the particular features of each model, expert reviews, manufacturer data, user feedback, and government ratings and reports.

According to our research, our picks had an average height of 29.9 inches and weight of 67.8 pounds. 23 of the selected models were shorter than the respective figures, and 17 of them weighed less. We considered the said factors against customer reviews and customer feedback to reach our conclusion.

We recommend this model as the ideal air conditioner for small rooms because of how well it merges size and performance. At 56 pounds, the Haier HPC12XCR measures slightly below 28″ tall and produces 12,000 BTU, which can comfortably cool up to 450 square feet.

This unit features three cooling speeds, a digital settings panel, and a full-function remote, making it as convenient as any modern tech-driven appliances. The Haier HPC12XCR also boasts a sleek design and simple aesthetics, making it ideal for spaces wanting to keep things simple and low key.

Most users include that the unit’s 12,000 BTU generates enough power for cooling, even with the prospect of reduced real-life BTUs. Additionally, the unit offers ample flexibility on where to place it, thanks to a 6-foot power cord and a 5-foot exhaust hose. Users also love the additional quick-install windows kit, which is easy to use.

The Haier HPC12XCR has an efficiency rating of EER 9.5, which is average, considering most. The unit costs roughly $90.72 to operate annually, if used for eight hours daily, for three months. This model is among the lightest of the ones we analyzed, which makes it easy to move around when needed; casters are also fitted to enhance mobility.

A clean AC is paramount for keeping the air fresh and well-circulated. This model features a long-lasting slide-out mesh filter, which is easy to clean and maintain. Depending on your preference, the auto start and 24-hour timer allow you to set-and-forget, and the self-evaporative drainage ensures you don’t pour out a water bucket daily.

This model receives good response universally, apart from users complaining that it cools the air slowly, or doesn’t circulate the air well. However, most customers are contented with its cooling performance. You will be more thrilled with your purchase if you maintain realistic expectations of what a room air conditioner does.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
What topics do you think you’ll write about?
Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
