Agreed. Bought one like 6-7 years ago.
Instant regret.

Noisy.
And it use internal room air to cool down the compressor and throw hot air outside of the room. Sampai sudah tak sejuk. Bila udara dah sejuk it sucks it out of the room.

Tak efficient.

Yet unlike portable phone, portable aircond is not the trend forward, it's an intermediate products for the person to ultimately get a fixed wall aircond biggrin.gif

Yes... portable aircon is a ripped off

When we see them display in shop, we feel very cooling because the shop is already has aircon running.

But when bring the aircon home, knn feel like table fan nia
