So I ordered a 8k btu unit which seems to be a decent one, not sure on room temp as dont have a thermometer currently may get one would help but im gonna estimate when its hot hot it can get up to like 25 Celsius in my room if im gaming and its like high teens outside or 20s? The room door is closed usually as its a shared house so ventilation is only through my window and my current portable fan hence me sweating like im in a oven 😆 I was going to go 9000 but a lot of calculators even with my pc outputting a max of 850 watts which it probably wont around 7 to 8k is what I've been told. Just don't want to obviously be wrong aha
This is what i went for if youre curious https://aircareappliances.co.uk/products/meacocool-mc-series-pro-8000-btu-portable-air-conditioner?variant=48238877671767&country=GB¤cy=GBP&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&srsltid=AfmBOorLbO75YAXdnDBWXfbnw5SjUxeqtJlsFewt_IWdoZcBlJ7ruO-I7ME&gQT=2
>ProBreeze Check their price right now. This one is Meaco which is usually considered a better brand (I have Probreeze bought for £150 on sale). Maybe less noise as this one is 52 dB.
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.
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.
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.
