Our verdict · Researched
3.0 / 5

A dependable, do-it-all portable unit that cools, heats and dehumidifies a small room, but it is a dated single-hose design and noticeably noisy at full tilt. Fine for a modest space if you can live with the hum; look elsewhere for anything larger or for bedside-quiet running.

Best for
Cooling a small bedroom or home office (up to ~15-18 m²) year-round, with heating for the colder months.
Skip it if
You need to cool a large or open-plan space, or you are a light sleeper

Researched, not used. We haven't used this product. This review is built from the maker's specifications, owner reports and our own sizing.

What we like

  • Genuine 3-in-1: cools in summer, heats in winter and dehumidifies (up to ~26 L/day), so it earns its cupboard space year-round
  • Straightforward to live with, with a remote, 12-hour timer, three fan speeds, sleep mode and castors for wheeling between rooms
  • Strong moisture extraction makes it useful against damp and condensation in typical UK homes

Worth knowing

  • Loud at around 65 dB on full power, so sleep mode is a must if it shares a bedroom
  • Single-hose layout: louder and less efficient than a split system

ⓘ As an Amazon Associate, PreparedBritain earns from qualifying purchases. We may earn a commission when you buy, or a fee when you request a quote, through our links. When two products are close, commission can decide which one we pick. A clearly better product always wins. Amazon prices come from Amazon's own product data and show the date and time they were retrieved. Prices at other retailers are checked by us, less often. Prices and stock can change at any time, so always check the retailer's price before you buy.

Who shouldn't buy this

Don't buy it if you need to cool a large or open-plan space, or you are a light sleeper: at 65 dB and rated for only a small room, this is best kept to daytime use in a modest space.

How this review works

This is a Researched review: we haven't used this product. We check every specification against at least two independent sources, re-check the UK price on a schedule where we can track it automatically, and say plainly who it isn't for. Commissions never change a rating.
