Thinking of Buying a Portable AC? 5 Things You Need to Know Before You Do

Thinking of Buying a Portable AC? 5 Things You Need to Know Before You Do

There's a lot to like about portable air conditioners. They're easy for renters to install, a solid supplemental cooling choice in homes with hotspots and a great option for homes with windows too narrow to support window air conditioners. I've had my portable air conditioner for a year and the cool air is one of the best investments for keeping my normally sweltering home office comfortable. Now I can stay productive during hot weather. As with other air conditioners, you'll need to find the sweet spot between a comfortable temperature and energy efficiency, so your electricity bills won't skyrocket. Plus, regular cleaning can extend the machine's lifespan. But for this article, I'm focusing on a few things that might come up when buying, transporting and setting up a portable air conditioner. Buying a new portable AC unit 1. Make sure it fits Before buying a portable air conditioner, remember to check that the included window kit works for your window -- vertical or horizontal -- and fits in your window. This shouldn't be an issue for most brands but it's worth double-checking. While some dual-hose models use separate hoses, my Midea Duo puts the exhaust hose inside the intake for extra insulation. John Carlsen/CNET 2. Get a dual-hose model if you can Portable AC units must circulate outside air over their condenser coils to remove heat from inside your home. In an ideal situation, an intake hose pulls cooler outdoor air in while a separate exhaust hose expels the heated air back outside. Unfortunately, many cheaper portable air conditioners combine the intake and exhaust into a single hose, which reduces the cooling power compared to pricier dual-hose models like the Midea Duo. If you can afford it, I suggest getting a dual-hose model. However, if you go for a single-hose model or a dual-hose unit with separate hoses, consider getting a portable AC hose insulation sleeve to prevent the exhaust hose from heating your room on the way to the window. By keeping the hot air in the hose, your AC shouldn't have to work as hard. Even a small portable air conditioner unit can be very heavy -- mine's on the larger end -- so you may need a second person to help you lift it. John Carlsen/CNET 3. Don't store it on its side Most portable AC units are bulky so it's tempting to shove them sideways in the back seat of your sedan on the way home from the store. Unfortunately, it's best to keep the portable unit in the upright position. This prevents oil from leaking out of the compressor into the rest of the closed cooling system -- the system is sealed to keep the gaseous refrigerant in. While this misplaced oil won't prevent the AC unit from running, it can make the machine louder and cut the AC's lifespan. If possible, borrow a friend's truck or have the retailer deliver the unit directly to your home so it stays upright. If you have to put the unit on its side, it's best to let it rest upright for 24 hours to help the oil return to the right spot before running it. Portable air conditioners need to be near a window, so it's best to rearrange your furniture so you can install it correctly. John Carlsen/CNET In my case, I have a shelf under the window that was more trouble to move than it was worth. To make my hose reach the window, I had to elevate my Midea Duo on a couple of cinderblocks topped with wood and spare carpet (to keep the wheels from rolling off the platform). 4. If you buy a used portable AC unit, be prepared to problem-solve If you're on a budget, a used portable AC unit is worth considering. I picked up my refurbished Midea Duo for $130 -- well below the $480 list price -- from a local liquidator. Still, it wasn't as smooth an experience as I hoped. Double-checking the model number when buying used appliances can help you get the features you want. John Carlsen/CNET 5. Splurge on a heat pump model for additional warmth in winter I spent hours finding the perfect model for my needs, which also happens to be CNET's current high-end pick -- Midea Duo MAP14HS1TBL -- a heat pump unit that could heat my poorly-insulated office in the winter if needed. But when I found my portable AC unit online, I didn't notice that it was a Costco variant (MAP14AS1TWT-C) without the heating function. I got over my blunder pretty quickly, but it was disappointing at the beginning. While my seller included a window kit with the unit, it was for a window air conditioner, not my AC. John Carlsen/CNET I tried in vain to track down a replacement window kit online and had no luck because the brand doesn't sell them. (I found a similar one from Danby that might work but I'm holding off for now.) Instead, I spent a few hours cobbling together a window kit from some foam insulation, spare wood and other materials I had lying around. It's worked well but my placement options are limited and I could have saved a lot of time with the right window kit. Likewise, my portable unit didn't come with a remote control, which I've yet to replace. Fortunately, my machine is a Matter-enabled smart air conditioner that doesn't need a remote to access the advanced features. Still, remotes are worth keeping in mind if you want to control your room air conditioner remotely. What's my takeaway? While buying a refurbished portable air conditioner worked out OK, there were several hoops to jump through that may not make the savings worth it for others. Are portable air conditioners worth it? A portable AC is the only option if you have narrow windows like mine, which won't fit a window unit. John Carlsen/CNET Although the design of portable air conditioners holds them back from matching the energy efficiency of a good central or window AC unit, they can be great for supplemental cooling in a hotspot in your home. They're also great for renters because you rarely need to install any window kit hardware with screws.

High Noon recalls vodka seltzers mislabeled as Celsius energy drinks

Some Celsius energy drinkers could have gotten a boozy surprise, leading to a recall, according to an announcement posted on the US Food and Drug Administration's website. According to the announcement, High Noon said it would be recalling its Beach Variety 12-packs after they said some cans were mislabeled as Celsius Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue Razz Edition cans, which are a non-alcoholic energy drink. "Consumption of the liquid in these cans will result in unintentional alcohol ingestion," the company said. High Noon said the mistake was made after some of the Celsius cans were filled with the alcoholic beverage and mislabeled. The company added that the recalled packs were sent to stores in Florida, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin between July 21 and July 23. The recall was initiated after High Noon discovered that a shared packaging supplier mistakenly shipped empty Celsius cans to High Noon, the company said. No illnesses have been reported in connection with the recall at this time, according to High Noon. What is High Noon doing to remedy the recalled drinks? In an emailed statement to USA TODAY, a spokesperson for High Noon said the company is working with officials to manage the recall. "We are working with the FDA, retailers, and distributors to proactively manage the recall to ensure the safety and well-being of our consumers," the statement reads. Recalled High Noon drinks lot codes, product description High Noon Beach Variety Packs (12-pack of 12 fluid ounce cans), lot codes include: L CCC 17JL25 14:00 to L CCC 17JL25 23:59 and L CCC 18JL25 00:00 to L CCC 18JL25 03:00 Celsius Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue Razz Edition (12 fluid ounce cans), lot codes include: L CCB 02JL25 2:55 to L CCB 02JL25 3:11 What to do if you bought the recalled drinks The company is advising those who didn't purchase a High Noon Beach variety pack to ensure their Celsius Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue Razz Edition drinks do not contain the lot codes of the recalled products (L CCB 02JL25 2:55 to L CCB 02JL25 3:11) before consuming. Consumers are also advised to throw out the Celsius Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue Razz Edition cans with the impacted lot codes (L CCB 02JL25 2:55 to L CCB 02JL25 3:11) and not drink the liquid, according to the company. High Noon Beach Variety packs with different lot codes than those that are part of the recall are safe to consume, the company added. Anyone who bought the recalled High Noon Beach variety 12-packs or mislabeled Celsius Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue Razz Edition drinks should contact High Noon Consumer Relations at consumerrelations@ to get more information on next steps, including refunds.
