Meaco - MeacoCool MC Series Pro 12000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner (MC12000)

Nabbed one from them on a Black Friday deal a couple of years ago and it's absolutely transformed my summer sleep quality. Having solar panels on the house also minimises the energy costs beyond a quick burst in the evening to cool the room before going to bed.

If that's a meaco you can 3d print an adapter and add a second hose to make it more effective https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNdH85QtD/

I have a Meaco one that's pretty good. It came with two different window kits, so hopefully one of them will work.

I've got a Meaco dehumidifier and now a Meaco AC, my Meaco collection is growing. Is that the stream deck buttons next to your keyboard? Can you provide a link to that digital time thingy you have on your desk.

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

My Meaco costs about £1.5 a day (it runs 15 minutes per hour from 7am to 10pm), and considering we have maybe 10 proper heatwave days per month, and only 3 months of summer where these heatwaves can happen, that's totally worth it.

I run mine 15 minutes per hour from 7am to 10pm. Then outside temperatures tend to drop below inside temperatures. You don't have to have it on literally all day for it to work. I think I've paid maybe £10 so far this summer to not feel the heatwaves at all.

I bought one of these about 4 years ago. A mecco one. It was really noisy and a pain to get the hose out of the room. It didn't really work that well. You could only really feel the coolness directly in the breeze which was very blowy and had no option to make it gentler. No I have I stalled proper air con with an outside unit and the inside units attached to the wall. But I can't get it in all the rooms in the house. They are 100 times better than the portable one I bought 4 years ago. You can barely hear it and it's freezing cold in the winter and warms up a room really fast in the summer. Have portable ones gotten better and quieter? Id still be interested in buying one to fill the gap in the house i have.

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.

I've got a meaco just like this one, might even be the exact same model, and the window kit it came with works fine on my outward opening windows

Mine is a Meaco one with the hose out the window and works very well for cooling a room and making it less humid, it is quite noisy though and the window kit is a bit of a faff
