Summary

The Inventor Cool Portable AC provides an easy way to keep a room comfortable without wasting any energy or resorting to a fan, which doesn’t cool as well. Its portability and fairly easy setup means you can use it in any room at any time.

A portable air conditioner cools better than a fan and provides more versatility than a central AC. If you just need to cool a single room, a portable AC is more efficient and uses less energy.

The Inventor Cool delivers 8,000 BTUs of cooling power, enough for small and midsize rooms. It’s easy to setup and comes with a complete window ducting kit. A remote control lets you change the mode, set the desired temperature and set your preferred fan speed.

What Are You Buying?

1. 8,000 BTU Cooling

This portable AC has a cooling power of 8,000 BTU. This is ideal for small and midsize rooms of up to around 200 square feet.

You can use it in the bedroom, kitchen, living room or study. Just make sure the room is not too big as it will reduce the AC’s cooling effectiveness.

2. Cool, Fan and Dehumidification Modes

The Inventor Cool portable AC has three operation modes.

There’s the main cooling mode which works by exhausting hot air out of the window and circulating cool air inside the room. There is a fan-only mode for when you just need mild cooling. There’s also a dehumidification mode which removes excess moisture from the air.

You can easily change the modes either using the buttons on the control panel or the remote control.

Note: This AC is auto-evaporating. You don’t need to drain it (unless there’s too much humidity). The water collected from the air is exhausted outside along with hot air.

3. Sleep Mode

There’s another extra mode which is useful when you are going to bed. In sleep mode, the AC will automatically adjust the room temperature to create the perfect sleeping environment while also saving energy.

4. 3 Fan Speeds

You can change the fan speed to increase or decrease the cooling power. If the day is not too hot, set a lower speed to cool the room just a little. Set the highest speed on particularly hot days.

The changeable fan speed also comes in handy at night when you are trying to sleep. Setting a lower speed reduces the noise level, allowing you to sleep more comfortably without any distractions. It’s especially helpful for light sleepers or when you are using the AC in a baby’s nursery.

4. Remote Control and Digital Display

The remote control lets you change the temperature or switch modes without having to get up and press the buttons.

If you prefer pressing the buttons on the AC, a handy digital display makes it easier to set your preferred settings.

How Easy Is It To Use?

The only bit of work you have to do during setup is venting. Like most portable air conditioners, the Inventor Cool needs to be vented out of the nearest window. This ensures that warm air does not recirculate back into the room.

Venting is easy and everything you need is included in the package with instructions on how to set up the hose and window kit.

Once you set it up, use the remote control to change settings and turn the unit on or off. Remember you don’t need to drain the AC; it is self-evaporating. But there is a drain tube you can use in case there is too much humidity in the air and it starts to leak.

What Accessories Are Included?

The portable AC comes with a flexible duct and a full window kit containing everything you need to vent it. The remote control comes with its own batteries.
