Portable Air Conditioner Reviews For Large Rooms
We have conducted extensive reviews on the following air conditioners to help you determine
which portable air conditioner is best for your needs for large rooms over 500
square feet (25 x 20 ft). We suggest that
you pay close attention to the
square footage of the room you are looking to cool as manufacturer
specifications on BTU are not an
accurate representation of the AC unit cooling capacity. We prefer to use
wattage as a comparison as it is a better criteria for assessing an air
conditioner's cooling capacity.
For smaller sized rooms, please visit
bedroom portable air conditioners.
