AEG 9000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner for rooms up to 21 sqm - ChillFlexPro

Product Information

The bundled remote – which takes two AAA batteries – allows you to turn the unit on or off, adjust the temperature, switch between the various modes and fan speeds, set a timer and enable sleep mode. In fact, it's one of the heaviest portable air conditioners we've tested at this level of BTU, just pipping the 31kg 11000BTU Russell Hobbs RHPAC11001 Portable Air Conditioner and 27kg 9000BTU GoodHome Malay 9000BTU Air Conditioner to the post as the heaviest-weight unit we've reviewed. It's a breeze to set up, you just plug the unit in and vent the provided hose out of a nearby window or door. Where room T° is 26°C and set T° is 24°C, you will reach the set T° in 18 min when using the Premium window kit, compared to 22 min without the window kit.

This air conditioning unit has allowed me to go into my office in this heat and reduces the temp by 10-15 degrees. Internal test done in a 14m² room, with relative humidity at 60% and outdoor T° of 30°C, within 4h30min. That may be worth paying a little more for if you want to be able to use the appliance all year round to control your home's temperature.

AEG is a German brand that specialises in large household appliances – most notably washing machines, ovens, and dishwashers – as well as air treatment products such as air purifiers and portable air conditioning units. Delivered a day early, (next day) Not as heavy as I thought it might be, Sleep mode is brilliant as the noise level is very low and switches itself off after 7 hours, Very quick to cool a room, then the noise level decreases, very efficient, we use it in a bedroom, so noise level was important, It is well built and nicely finished. On the plus side, I found I didn't need the AEG Comfort 6000 Portable Air Conditioner running long to cool down a room. Weighing between 31kg and 34kg, the AEG Chillflex Pro is among the heaviest air conditioners we’ve tested – somewhat stretching the definition of portable – as well as one of the largest, but can be moved on its caster wheels without too much effort. It goes without saying that the energy consumption will vary depending on the starting room temperature, selected fan speed settings and modes.

I tested the AEG Comfort 6000 Portable Air Conditioner in my own home, comparing it to bestselling air conditioning units from leading brand names to see how well it performed against the best-in-class. As well as keeping your room temperature in check, the air conditioner can function as a powerful dehumidifier to remove any excess moisture from the air that could lead to the growth of mould and damp. If that 20kg+ weight still sounds too heavy to move, then it may be best to consider an air cooler instead of an air conditioner, or even one of the best fans on the market. Thanks to that powerful performance, running costs are also high, with this unit guzzling up 3400W of energy.Plus, there's also the option of a fan mode which is great for when you're on your own and only need a small area of your room cooling quickly. AEG doesn't state the differences in power consumption of the different fan speeds, but using 3400W as a guide that means the unit would use 3. The touch control panel is well designed and very intuitive to use, and the option to download the AEG app to operate it is a big plus point.

There's no way I would have been able to lift this air conditioner up stairs by myself, and I would have struggled with another (average strength) person.

There is nothing worse than your Air Conditioner breaking down just after the Manufacturer's warranty has expired. Finding the right one for you will be dictated by the type of window you're venting the exhaust hose from. Press the power button and the front half of the top of the unit lifts up to reveal the louver fan grill.

But, that said, the noise the air conditioning unit makes is purely that of a steady stream of gushing air exiting the appliance. It's not silent in any way, shape, or form, but the noise of the (gloriously cool) air gushing out from the unit is the type of white noise that I at least found easy to forgive, and ignore. Its a breeze to set up, you just plug the unit in and vent the provided hose out of a nearby window or door.

This remote-operation is a big plus point if you're using the unit at night and want to be able to operate it without getting out of bed. This high power consumption enables the AEG Comfort 6000 Portable Air Conditioner to make quick work of reducing temperatures, however, it comes at a cost; both in terms of energy usage and cold hard cash.
