Meaco - MeacoCool MC Series 10000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner

I have one, got it from costco its on the louder side but in terms of everything else cant fault it cools my room down nicely. Did end up buying a longer exhaust hose as the one provided is on the short side.

I have the same exact unit mate, do you mind sharing the link/page of the insulated duct pipe you bought ? Wondering if there’s a 1:1 compatible one

The main thing to remember is that they just aren’t *great*, and never will be, so do temper your expectations somewhat. What you will get is a lovely stream of cold air coming out. However you will also get: - A *lot* of noise, even quiet ones, even on sleep mode, they are just really noisy - A tube that you need to try and get to a window and attach to expel hot air Once you switch it off your room will likely heat up again pretty quickly. What I found it’s great for is cooling *you* down and bringing your body temp down so you’re just more comfortable and get some respite. I have a Meacool MC10000CH. Overall, I would recommend, but just keep in mind it won’t be perfect. Consider upgrading the 'exhaust' pipe to an insulated duct pipe. It's not pretty but the standard plastic pipe gets really hot and acts like a little radiator. Also think about how you're going to attach it to the window to prevent the outside air coming back in, some types of window can be awkward.

Yes! Got a meacocool or something like that. Essential for the hot summers we have now. And essential for me. I work in a 2x3m hand build (and very well insulated) garden office. Once the ambient temperature is high, I'm sweating in there. It's bliss with it on. Bring it into the back bedroom some nights too. It's a good send. It's noisy though. Sleeping with it on isn't the easiest

We used to have a Meaco one from Costco within that price range, and that broke within a year. Since then we tried an AEG one which was terrible, and now have a De’Longhi Pinguino. It looks like Currys have a couple near your price range. We also have a still working De’Longhi dehumidifier which is probably old enough to vote, and so while now I’ve praised them on the internet I’m sure they’ll both break immediately, I have some faith in the brand. Would definitely suggest considering spending a little extra on one of the Pinguinos if you can.

We have 2 meaco ones, they are fantastic, definitely worth the money on hot days.

We bought a Meaco one from Costco last year. Was around £250 from memory. Noisy bet pretty effective. We tend to use it for 30mins before bed - doubt you could sleep with it on unless you are used to 747 on take off levels of noise.

We recently bought a Meaco one and it does the job nicely. It is very loud though so we cool the room down before bed and it tends to stay cool.
