Floor standing air conditioner characteristics. How to choose a floor-standing air conditioner for an apartment or house

The advantage of mobile (or, as they are also called, floor-standing) air conditioners is that they are quite easy to install, which is especially important if it is not possible to install a wall-mounted split system. In addition, models without an air duct can be moved from room to room, which is also useful and sometimes very popular. Another advantage of floor-standing devices is the price, which is an order of magnitude lower than their wall-mounted counterparts. In this article we will provide readers with a rating of the best mobile air conditioners for apartments for 2017. Our TOP 10 includes devices that are optimal in quality, reliability and functionality, which have received many positive reviews from customers.

The first on the list is a device from the Electrolux company - EACM-14EZ/N3, costing about 18 thousand rubles. This floor-mounted air conditioner works only for cooling, although a ventilation mode is additionally provided. Among the advantages, I would like to highlight the presence of a remote control, a timer and the ability to automatically remove condensate.

This mobile unit is quite enough to cool an office or several rooms in an apartment, because... the serviced area is as much as 40 sq.m. Among the disadvantages, I would like to highlight a slightly increased noise during operation, as well as the need to connect an air duct.

The second level of our rating is occupied by a budget mobile air conditioner from the Aeronik company. The advantages include, of course, low cost (about 19 thousand rubles in 2017), good cooling and dehumidification of the apartment, as well as simple control. In addition, customers really like the design of the case, which will fit into almost any interior.

Among the disadvantages, according to customer reviews, I would like to highlight the lack of proper heating, as well as increased noise during operation. However, if you want up to 20 thousand rubles, it will be quite difficult to find a portable model of better performance with good build quality.

This mobile air conditioner also made it to the TOP due to its budget price and high reliability. In terms of functions, Timberk AC TIM 07C P6 differs from the previous participant in the rating in terms of power (2050 W, not 2600 W), which is actually why it is slightly lower in the list. However, it is worth noting that the price is slightly lower - about 15 thousand rubles.

I would like to note that due to the increased noise, such a device is better to choose for a summer house or office. It's not a good idea to leave it in your bedroom at night unless you sleep with earplugs.

This mobile air conditioner has the following characteristics:

Works only for cooling.
There is a ventilation mode.
Operated by remote control.
There is a timer.
Touch control.
The direction of the air flow can be adjusted.
Convenient “easy window” air duct fastening system.

At the same time, the price is average - about 19 thousand rubles. If you want to choose a more powerful and functional portable air conditioner, and the heating function does not interest you, we recommend that you take a closer look at the review of Ballu BPAC-12 CE, whose power is 3.3 kW.

The cost of this mobile model is slightly higher than 12 thousand rubles, so it also has a place in the 2017 ranking of inexpensive floor-standing air conditioners, given that it is General Climate.

The mobile monoblock works for both heating and cooling. Additionally, there is a ventilation mode, remote control, timer, 3 speeds, a function for remembering settings, and also anion generators. In addition, I would like to note the ability of the air conditioner to independently diagnose faults. As always, the disadvantage is the high noise level and the slightly outdated design can be highlighted. If you want to choose a powerful floor-standing air conditioner for an apartment or house, we recommend paying attention to this representative of the rating.

De'Longhi PAC N81

Do you want to buy a device for a small room, but don’t know which one is better? We advise you to familiarize yourself with the De’Longhi PAC N81, which, at its inexpensive cost (21 thousand rubles), is capable of cooling up to 20 sq.m. rooms. Some useful functions include the possibility of remote control from the remote control, as well as a self-diagnosis mode for faults. The downside is that it only works for cooling.

In terms of characteristics, the De’Longhi PAC N81 does not differ from the previous participant in the rating, so it rightly takes 6th place in the list of the best mobile air conditioners in 2017.

Zanussi ZACM-07 MP/N1

It is also capable of cooling up to 20 sq.m. space, which is quite enough for a small office or room in an apartment. The price of a floor-standing air conditioner is one of the lowest in this rating - only 13 thousand rubles.

Despite this, the device is equipped with a control panel, timer, high efficiency and speed control. There is no heating mode, but there is cooling, ventilation and dehumidification. A relatively low noise level (45 dB) can be attributed to the advantages of a mobile air conditioner. We did not find any particular disadvantages with the Zanussi ZACM-07 MP/N1, considering the extremely low price.

Moving closer to the end of the rating, I would like to present one of the most expensive models - Bimatek AM401. Despite the fact that the characteristics of this floor-standing air conditioner are no better than the other participants in the TOP 10. Among the positive aspects, I would like to note the fairly high power, the presence of ventilation and dehumidification modes, as well as a control panel. Among the disadvantages, the main one is considered to be the high price - about 28 thousand rubles and the absence of a heating mode.

If you need a mobile air conditioner for your room and cost is not a limiting factor, take a closer look at this device. Stylish design and convenient controls are another significant advantage.

Jax ACM-09BHE

Jax is an Australian brand whose products are manufactured in China. The Jax ACM-09BHE model costs 17,500 rubles, and like other participants in the rating of mobile air conditioners, this device has an average power of 2.6 kW. It also has remote control, a timer and a drying mode.

When your hands grow from the right place, life is more fun :)

In the summer, many people think about how to choose a floor-standing air conditioner for an apartment in order to make it easier to stay in living spaces in the heat. A correctly selected device will not take up much space, will work silently and flawlessly, cooling the air to the set temperature. Any person needs to know about the choice of equipment and the rules for its operation.

How does a mobile air conditioner work without a duct?

Homeowners who move frequently choose a portable air conditioner for their apartment. It does not look bulky, has excellent ergonomic and performance characteristics when compared with stationary split systems. Most models have heating and cooling modes and can adjust the temperature using the remote control or buttons on the front.

There are varieties of floor-mounted air conditioners that have antibacterial air purification, filtration and ionization functions. The principle of quiet operation of the models is characteristic of many modifications: the cooling agent in different states (liquid, gaseous) can simultaneously give and receive heat. These air conditioners have a lower part where a container with water is located. How it works:

Water from the reservoir is pumped by a small pump and supplied to wet the porous filter.
The fan takes in warm air, directing it to an already wet porous filter, processing and cooling it.
On the surface of the filter there are water molecules that turn into a gas.
An important advantage: such models do not require an outdoor unit that is taken outside the building to the street, and there are no air duct hoses.

A stationary split system or mobile monoblock, which consumers like to install, is a complex scheme - it consists of an air intake, a cooling unit, where the air is cooled with refrigerant, a heat removal unit for releasing heat into the air, and a compressor for pumping freon. A complex system requires installation by a competent specialist, constant performance checks and periodic cleaning of all components.

How effective are portable air conditioners for a ductless home?

Buyers, purchasing a small air conditioner for their room, wonder about its effectiveness. To this, manufacturers respond that efficiency and productivity increase with increasing ambient temperature. A ductless floor air conditioner in a home often has an ice compartment. Even in the most intense heat, such a device effectively cools the air by passing it through a special compartment. Instead of ice, you can use plain cold water.

For small houses or offices, a mobile floor air conditioner is suitable like no other - it will effectively cool the available area without causing inconvenience in use. For a large room, you will need a more powerful device - a standard split system, installed floor-to-ceiling, or a climate complex, which also includes air washing in its functions.

What are the benefits of mobile air conditioners without ducting?

If you purchase a portable air conditioner for a home without an air duct, you should know its advantages and features:

ease of household use - no need to clean hoses, take care of the environment;
safety – there is no freon or refrigerants in the cooler;
mobility – easily moves from place to place, transported in transport;
small size – suitable for a small office or home;
minimum weight (for models in a plastic case – up to 6 kg);
silent operation;
ease of installation;
no condensation forms;
low power consumption.

Disadvantages of mobile floor models without duct:

the need to periodically add water;
high price;
For better work in the house, you need to ensure a constant flow of air; for the office, you need a supply and exhaust ventilation system.

How to choose a mobile air conditioner for an apartment

To choose the right floor-standing air conditioner for a home without an air duct, you need to consider the following parameters:

desired price - willingness to spend money on a more expensive model or the ability to get by with a cheaper one;
the volume of the room where the device is installed - the larger it is, the worse the equipment will work;
need for air humidification - mobile compact models do not have this property;
Is the manufacturer verified - recognizable brands are more expensive in price, but guarantee high quality compared to unknown inexpensive brands.

Price for a mobile air conditioner for a home without an air duct

Modern models of floor-standing air conditioners for homes without an air duct can be purchased in an online store, ordered in a catalog through branded electrical departments (Eldorado, M-video) or purchased at a low price. Quick solutions are good - used devices purchased secondhand through the Avito website. The cost of various brands will be as follows - prices are approximate (in rubles).

The modern market of household air conditioning systems is largely represented by split systems. They are convenient, efficient, and quiet. One problem is that the installation is only stationary, and although transfer is possible, it can only be done by qualified specialists and for a considerable fee, which can become completely indecent in the event of a refrigerant leak or the need to lengthen the route.

A worthy alternative is mobile air conditioners. They are easy to install (can be easily done independently), move without problems on the floor on built-in wheels, and can be transported in a car to the current location (whether to a dacha, or to a camp site).

We have selected the best representatives of this “breed” for you in today’s rating of mobile air conditioners. The rating includes floor-mounted mobile air conditioners, which are the most popular among buyers of Russian online stores. When determining the leaders, we used sales data and customer reviews from major online resources.

What kind of “beast” is this mobile air conditioner?

This is a universal monoblock, not strictly tied to one point. The operating principle is reminiscent of everyone’s favorite No Frost system in household refrigerators. Only the compressor is much more powerful and the cooled air does not enter hermetically sealed small cabinets, but directly into the room, and even with temperature, strength and direction of flow adjusted.

Another feature: the heat from the “back wall” should not dissipate into the surrounding space, therefore it is forcibly removed to the street through a window or wall, for which all mobile air conditioners are equipped with special sliding plastic pipes. The only way. Otherwise, efficiency is zero, and energy costs will simply go down the drain (not a corrugated one).

The condensate evaporates and is removed outside automatically along with heated air (depending on the model) or collected in a special container for subsequent drainage. Alternatively, use a drainage hose to constantly remove moisture.

A small clarification: do not confuse mobile air conditioners with air conditioning humidifiers, which are ineffective in terms of actual cooling (without hoses, but also without a compressor), operating on the principle of air washers.

Which brand of mobile air conditioners is better?

It is traditionally believed that the best air conditioners are Japanese. And it is true. But you shouldn’t look for “Japanese” among mobile air conditioners - such models are rare. Among floor-standing mobile air conditioners, the undoubted leader in our market is Electrolux. They supply us with the widest range of models, and Electrolux products rarely cause problems for owners. Electrolux air conditioners are equipped with a large number of different additional functions and modes.

Other popular brands of mobile air conditioners:

Zanussi;
Aeronik;
Royal Clima;
Ballu;
General Climate.

They are used to cool air and maintain optimal temperature in rooms of various types: apartments, houses, server and industrial rooms.

When choosing designs, pay attention to the number of operating modes, functionality, and level of sound insulation of devices. Be sure to check the contents of the product.

Pay attention to the type of floor-standing air conditioner: with or without duct. The former provide high-quality air filtration, but they are not as transportable as mobile products without an air duct.
Be sure to look at the power of the device. For cooling 10 sq. m of room will need 1 kW of power.
Take a look at the recommended working area. For use in an apartment or house, you will need a cooling of 25-30 sq. m. For industrial and server premises these figures should be much higher (45-60 sq. m).
The best devices are equipped with automatic mode changes, a timer, and a filtration system. Models operating in three or four modes are considered functional: ventilation, cooling, heating, dehumidification.

Look at the declared noise level, because floor-standing devices have low sound insulation. Noise up to 50 dB should not cause inconvenience or irritation.

This indicator also depends on the dimensions of the device. Before purchasing, be sure to test the product for noise level.

Pay attention to air exchange rates. The higher this characteristic, the faster the air will cool. The average is 300 m 3 per hour.
Buy products with a special tank for collecting condensate. Modern devices are often equipped with an automatic evaporation system.

Weight of portable devices – up to 30 kg. Such products are transportable and easily move around the room.
Be sure to pay attention to the technical reliability of the device. Protection functions include freon leakage control, filter condition, automatic defrosting, current and low temperature protection. Devices must be stable and reliable.
Look at the package contents of the product, the presence of a warranty card, and maintenance instructions. Be sure to check all parts, fasteners and accessories. Buy products from trusted manufacturers.

Pay attention to whether the device operates in automatic mode. This allows you to maintain the specified parameters of temperature and humidity in the room.
The device must be equipped with a temperature control function.
An important function is adjusting the fan speed.
Pay attention to the direction of air flow; choose devices with vertical and horizontal air direction.
See if the product is equipped with a timer. Using this function, you can set the time for automatic switching on and off of the air conditioner.
Operation in night mode allows you to set the minimum fan speed.
The restart function allows the device to turn on after a power outage.

Choose the color and shape of the conditioner according to your own preferences. Most often, light-colored devices are produced; they look more organic in design.
It is desirable that the design of the device matches the furniture ensemble of the room.

Air conditioners have become a part of modern life. Thanks to their work, comfortable living conditions became available. These are devices that convert electrical energy into warm or cold air. Their use is very common in offices, homes and other places where comfortable conditions for humans are needed.

In most cases, installing an air conditioner involves installing a special heat exchanger for it outside the building, and a device is installed inside to control the air flow. But there are also portable versions of these devices so that the user can always take the device with him and create comfortable conditions wherever he wants.

Portable devices

Mobile air conditioners are gaining popularity in the climate control market. They differ from traditional split systems primarily in the absence of an installation procedure. The device looks like a small cabinet with a height of no more than 80 cm. You need to connect power to it and remove a hose from it to release hot air. You will also need to periodically remove water from its internal storage. By its principle, this air conditioner is identical to other models. And it will require almost the same amount of energy to operate.

Main characteristics of a portable device

Before choosing a mobile air conditioner, you need to understand all its characteristics. Each model has its own specific properties:

Power consumed during operation.
Overall dimensions of the case.
Availability of filters.
Availability of remote control.

Even before choosing a mobile air conditioner, you need to decide on these indicators, since changing them during operation will be impossible.

Power

The main characteristic of an air conditioner is its power. It determines how much room the device can provide with comfortable conditions. For example, a mobile air conditioner, the instructions for which state that it can cool from 20 to 30 m 2 of an apartment or house, will have an approximate power of 1 to 2 kW. This load is the most common and can be used in any house or apartment.

Basically, approximately 1 kW of device power is spent per 10 m2 of room. Knowing this, you can immediately understand how to choose a mobile air conditioner so that it copes with maintaining the necessary microclimate in the house.

Overall dimensions of the device

Since in the mobile version all the elements and parts are located in one case, the dimensions of the device are respectable. For example, the Electrolux mobile air conditioner has dimensions of 797x436x390 mm. These dimensions are average for such products and do not differ too much from other manufacturers. However, you need to plan in advance where the air conditioner will be placed so that it does not interfere. Size is especially critical when using equipment in small apartments.

Availability of filters

Before choosing a mobile air conditioner, you need to make sure that it has high-quality filters. Since the air is constantly circulating around the room, they will purify it. Also, the presence of filters will significantly increase the service life of the device itself.

Almost all air conditioners have nets or other elements at the inlet that allow them to retain large air particles, but are not able to get rid of fine dust and microorganisms. This can provide a high-quality filter, which can have an antibacterial effect and deodorizing additives. The Electrolux mobile air conditioner has good reviews in this regard. It has long pleased its users and is characterized by a high degree of air purification.

Control method and functions

As a rule, all air conditioners have control buttons directly on the body, as well as a remote control. The user can control the speed of the fan that blows air and select the temperature to automatically maintain it. There is also a timer that allows you to program the device to turn on at a designated time. This is convenient when you want to come home from work to an already warmed or cooled apartment.

Heat removal from the air conditioner

Since the device operates according to a well-known physical law, it must release heat when producing cold. If the heated air is released directly into the room, then there will be no effect from the air conditioner. To solve this problem, an air duct is used that connects the air conditioner output to the outside atmosphere. A large corrugated pipe is attached to the apparatus and exits through a window or other opening in the house. Thus, a mobile air conditioner without an air duct will not work normally.

In addition to warm air, condensation that collects in the lower part of the case also needs to be removed from the device. For this purpose, there is a special compartment for removing the reservoir with accumulated water.

Air conditioner manufacturers

Companies producing split systems also manufacture mobile devices. They have a large product range that allows the user to find the right solution. One of the most popular on the market is the Electrolux mobile air conditioner. It received a lot of positive feedback from users who appreciated its ease of use and reliability.

How to choose a mobile air conditioner

First of all, you need to decide where the device will be used and calculate how many square meters the room has. Then you can roughly calculate what the minimum power of the air conditioner should be (at the rate of 1 kW per 10 square meters). You also need to take into account the power reserve for consumption in the event of open doors or the presence of other electronics that heat the air. This will require approximately +10 percent of the main indicator.

It is also worth paying attention to the company from which there are offers. The model line should have several purchasing options. A good manufacturer always offers a wide selection of devices. The mobile air conditioner that costs the most is not always the best. Basically, the markup is made with increasing power, but this can also occur due to additional functions that the user does not always need.

If you can find a mobile air conditioner that has positive reviews, you can safely purchase such a model. To do this, you can ask your friends what brands they use and choose something similar for yourself.

Who is a mobile air conditioner suitable for?

Initially, such options were designed so that the user could take equipment that creates a comfortable climate with him to his dacha or temporary housing. The main criterion is speed of installation and good performance. This is an ideal option for those who constantly change their place of work or residence. This will also be a way out of a situation where it is impossible to install a split system in a room for one reason or another.

It is worth noting that operation of a mobile air conditioner is allowed at a minimum temperature of 50 degrees. If it operates at lower temperatures, its service life will be significantly reduced due to failure of internal parts. Therefore, in some models a special sensor is installed that detects low temperature and warns the user about it.

Negative aspects of mobile air conditioners

When using the device, there is a noise that many people may find too loud. But not all models make the same noise. It all depends on the specific manufacturer. Therefore, before purchasing, you need to thoroughly check the device and try to turn it on at full power. If the noise level is acceptable, then everything is fine. The average price for a mobile air conditioner for an area of 30 m2 is in the range of 15,000-20,000 rubles. This kind of money is significant for the family budget of the average family. But the device will bring comfort to all inhabitants of the house for a long time.

You should also consider where the air duct from the air conditioner will be connected. If there is no ventilation, then the only option is to install it near the window. Of course, you don’t have to place the device exactly under the window. But in this case, you will have to run a rather thick pipe to it.

conclusions

A mobile air conditioner is an excellent way to maintain the desired temperature in a room. It is indispensable for those who spend a lot of time at the dacha or are constantly moving. The high performance of the device ensures that the specified microclimate parameters are maintained in the room.

If you plan to install an air conditioner in a small apartment, then you need to be prepared to sacrifice some space for this. The pipe that connects the device to the outlet of warm air outside may also seem inconvenient.

The air conditioner also creates a certain level of noise that you need to get used to. But this indicator varies among manufacturers, so you can choose a device with minimal noise levels.

If we take into account the effect of installing a mobile air conditioner and constantly maintaining comfortable conditions, it becomes clear that this device is worth the money spent and the possible inconveniences that arise during its operation.
