"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."

"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."

"the kit with outs is like a big Velcro on sock with zips so you can really fit it to the window. ... Our window opens outward but vertically but there’s a massive amount of excess material that I’m fairly certain it could fit all sorts of combos of shape."
"It came with two different window kits, so hopefully one of them will work."

"A *lot* of noise, even quiet ones, even on sleep mode, they are just really noisy"
"Noisy bet pretty effective. ... doubt you could sleep with it on unless you are used to 747 on take off levels of noise."
"It is very loud though so we cool the room down before bed and it tends to stay cool."

"had amazingly cold air blowing out the front for around 30 seconds, then it sounded like the compressor kicked in, and it completely reversed, with hot air coming out the front, and the cold air going out the window. Repeatable every single time."
"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."
"Did end up buying a longer exhaust hose as the one provided is on the short side."

"a pain to get the hose out of the room"
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
r/CasualUK • Portable air con recommendations? ->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.
r/CasualUK • Portable air con recommendations? ->Those Meaco units are great! I bought the 10000BTU unit to cool the house as we have a baby, the baby doesn't like it for some reason and prefers to sleep without it. My win though as our bedroom was a cool 19°c when downstairs was 28°c. I think A/C will be pretty standard in the UK in 5/10 years time.
r/CasualUK • Why didn’t anyone tell me how compact and effective these portable air conditioners are? Why was I suffering through the last heat wave 💀 ->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.
r/AirConditioners • Meaco MeacoCool10,000 CH Portable Air Conditioner ->I bought a meaco 10K BTU one last year which triggered the coldest wettest summer for ages 😂 Luckily I fooled the weather by getting one that could heat as well as cool. I put some insulation over the exhaust hose to reduce the radiant heat from that, and cobbled together a window board that slots into an open casement window, and seals pretty well. The hose attaches to a 150mm ducting 'wall kit' from toolstation which in turn is vented out through the board. The unit itself does not get hot, other than the hose. And yes single hose is less efficient than dual, but that's all we can get here so... shrug.
r/DIYUK • Anyone here using small AC machines to cool the air in a small room for heatwaves? Looking for recommendations, preferably Amazon i.e. can get it quickly. TIA ->Meaco have an eBay store where they sell "refurbished" units, I bought a 10,000 BTU model for £160 a few months ago, with 2 year warranty. As far as I could see it was brand new.
r/CasualUK • Why didn’t anyone tell me how compact and effective these portable air conditioners are? Why was I suffering through the last heat wave 💀 ->Ive got a Meaco 10kBTU and love it.
r/AmericanExpatsUK • I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE - Give me AC Suggestions!!! ->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.
r/CasualUK • Why didn’t anyone tell me how compact and effective these portable air conditioners are? Why was I suffering through the last heat wave 💀 ->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/
r/CasualUK • Why didn’t anyone tell me how compact and effective these portable air conditioners are? Why was I suffering through the last heat wave 💀 ->I have a Meaco one that's pretty good. It came with two different window kits, so hopefully one of them will work.
r/AskUK • Can someone please help me find a portable air con that works? I have Cancer and the room in my nursing home is unbearably hot. ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
