Arctic King 10k Portable Air Conditioner Review

Yes it does so reasonably well, but the odd thing is the coolest setting is only 17° Celsius. Our other AC goes way colder so you can really ice down a room. The with such a cap takes a bit longer to ice a room down and even then I suspect in a really hot climate it might struggle to fully cool a room 350 to 450 sq. While I like living in a place that isn’t too hot, the problem is most houses don’ have central air.

Worked Better then expected and can even turn on the ac from the car before we get home to cool down the room for bed time. Bought another unit this year for our master bedroom even though our prior ac still worked. I just wanted the same convenience for our room to control the temp.

The window needs to be a sliding window and slide so that there’s an opening of 5″ or so for the air tub plank to fit. If you have swinging windows, it won’t work unless you also slam in a big piece of plywood (yikes… but if it’s hot you gotta do what you gotta do). I also use this AC in my office which is 445 sq. Again, Frigidaire fridge it cools the space down adequately, but if it was cooking hot, I’m not sure it would get as cool as I’d like due to the minimum temp being 17° Celsius. These bladder tanks combine portability and versatility with economy and are available in a full range of sizes from 250 USG (1000 L) to 33,000 USG (125,000 L).

As an alternative, you may also want to compare this model to the Anbber Portable Air Conditioner that’s also energy efficient and only needs 3.5 watts of power to work. The capacities are calculated based on an 8-foot ceiling. If you have higher ceilings, you may want to select a room air conditioner with a higher CADR. Cooling capacity is shown in British thermal units (BTUs) per hour. Discover Arctic King window air conditioners by Midea.

Because our customers are also our neighbors and friends. Central has grown and changed quite a bit over the years. From the tiny TV repair shop in Ontario, OR with the slogan “We don’t sell TV’s We Arctic King Repair them”, to an Appliance, TV, Retail and Service store. We became a Rent to Own Company in the mid 80’s and now have four locations covering the Treasure Valley of Idaho and Eastern Oregon.

Let’s face it, portable window ACs sitting in a room will never look good. It’s an appliance sitting out in the middle of the room. Maybe some AC company will get creative and turn it into a table, but not the Arctic King.

You can select high, medium or low, use the energy saver button, or set the timer to come on an hour before you get home. You’ll be able to switch through three different functions with the Arctic King 10k portable air conditioner. There’s the cool option, the fan option, and the dry option, which can be very beneficial, especially when there’s a lot of moisture in the air. Also worth noting is that the AC unit features 4-way directional cooling, just like the Frigidaire BTU air conditioner does.

Alternatively, if your climate allows, an evaporative cooler, like in our Luma Comfort EC111B review, is great if you are concerned about energy efficiency. The 60-day warranty is not really standard in the industry, but if you so wish, you could also purchase an extended warranty if it’ll provide you with ease of mind. For a multi-year warranty, you should consider giving our Goodman air conditioner review a read, though it’s a central AC unit. The most energy efficient air conditioner is sized to the square footage of the space to be cooled. Getting the right size means getting the comfort and the energy efficiency right. With Midea dedicated to technology, efficiency, and reliability, Arctic King could only benefit from this.
