9000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Dehumidifier and 24H Timer

Most portable air conditioners keep a lit display all night. In a dark bedroom a bright set of digits by the bed is enough to keep some people awake, and covering it with a tea towel blocks the vents.

A light off function switches the display dark while the unit carries on running. Pair it with the 1 to 24 hour timer and the machine can start the evening lit and finish the night invisible.

Two settings for after lights out

The timer switches the unit off up to 24 hours ahead. The light off function darkens the display while it keeps working. The noise rating is 52 dB, which sits between a quiet library and normal conversation.

The window range to check first

This kit covers 37.5 to 49 inches, which is wider than the 25.5 inch minimum most of the category manages. It suits a big living room window but will not shrink to a narrow one. The exhaust hose is 59 inches.

Moving 45 lb without a fight

Two recessed grips are moulded into the sides and all four wheels turn through a full circle. Push it with a hand at hip height and it tracks straight rather than crabbing sideways, which is the difference between moving it and dreading moving it.

What is the light off function?

It switches the display dark while the machine carries on running. Most portable units keep a lit panel all night, which is a real problem in a small bedroom. Here it is a single button rather than something you have to work around.

Will the window kit fit a small window?

Probably not. The range is 37.5 to 49 inches, which is wider than most kits in this category. Measure the opening before ordering, and remember that crank out casement windows need a panel made to size rather than a sliding kit.

Is 450 sq ft realistic?

It is the maker's quoted coverage for a 9,000 BTU unit, which sits at the optimistic end. A well insulated room without much afternoon glass will get close. A sunny open plan space will not.

How much water does it produce?

Dry mode is rated 51 pints, or 24 litres, a day, but the real figure follows the humidity in the room rather than the rating. The 9.8 ft drain hose lets it run away continuously to a floor drain.
