Planning to buy a portable air conditioner? We’ve put together this guide to walk you through the five most common mistakes to avoid when shopping for a portable AC in the UAE. We’ll also include practical tips to help you pick the right unit with confidence.

1. Buying one that doesn’t suit your needs

Portable air conditioners are designed as standalone models with an exhaust hose that vents through a window, so they’re best suited for small spaces or occasional use.

That said, their compact size and easy installation make them a practical option for people who move often. Just make sure the unit fits your space. For instance, the Crownline PAC-224 measures 415 x 418 x 790 mm, making it a smart fit for apartments or smaller rooms.

2. Not checking the capacity

If your portable air conditioner doesn’t match the size of your room, you’ll either waste energy or end up with a unit that can’t keep up with your cooling needs. The Crownline PAC-224 offers up to 14,000 BTUs, enough to cool areas of up to 525 square feet. It also includes an Efficiency Booster feature, which lets you add up to 2.5 litres of water to help the compressor stay cool. Besides improving performance, this feature also makes the unit more energy-efficient.

3. Settling for a basic model

Portable ACs today are packed with convenient features that make them more convenient to use. The Crownline PAC-224 combines fast cooling with air circulation and dehumidification in one. With multiple fan speeds, it can handle different needs. Features like automatic functions and a sleep mode make cooling worry-free and comfortable, especially at night. Plus, the 10-meter remote and 24-hour timer give you full control from anywhere in the room.

4. Not checking the noise levels

A loud portable air conditioner can make it hard to work or sleep, so check how loud it is before you buy. The Crownline PAC-224 operates with low noise levels, so you can enjoy a cool, peaceful environment at home or in the office.

5. Forgetting about the safety features

Modern portable ACs like the Crownline PAC-224 include practical protections such as a water-filled reminder and power-off memory. These features make the unit easier to maintain and also provide peace of mind by keeping your home and family safe.
