I am writing a much awaited review about the PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONERS not so popular in India but very useful product for people who do not have the permission of their landlords for not installing ACs or just want to save on breaking your own home for fitting AC.
The product reviewed here is ARVIN 1.2 PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER.
Link of its official site is placed below.

PROS:
(a) This air conditioner is a portable type and has four wheels as name suggests and can be taken anywhere at home, it weighs just 32 Kgs.
(b) This air conditioner has one of the best BTU in its category i.e 14000. While using this continuously I am truly satisfied with its performance as I am having a bedroom of 8 x 10 and its suitably cools my room.
(c) One of the best features of this AC is it does not require complicated installation like window or split and everything is packed in one appliance, yes it does require its exhaust hose measuring around 10 cm approx to be let out of window or door, but most suitably if you could just put a cardboard around your window and measure the required hole for hose yourself and let it out, as simple as that,
(d) AC is having touch panel and comes with LCD remote so no tension of handling it manually, Stabilizer is not required but make sure that wiring for AC is having a 32 amp circuit breaker.
CONS:
(a) This AC cools like normal AC but takes more time (10 Min or so) as compared to others because of water evaporator of AC being coming out in the same room. Hardly matters, trust me.
(b) Portable ACs are not sold popularly in India, so it hard to find one, but it is not due to this being of lower quality but due to lower maintenance no stabilizer and no installations (sellers do not like it at all due to low margin).
(c) After continuous running throughout night in auto temp set mode some water like 50 to 100 ml can be seen on the floor, for which you need not worry, just keep your old newspaper near the outlet and you won’t find a thing in the morning.
(d) BEWARE AFTER SALES SERVICE IS PATHETIC AND COMPANY DOES NOT WANTS CUSTOMERS TO COMPLAINT!
