PX71-265WT PX7 Portable RAC A+

We have used this for 2 summers now, and it is brilliant. Our chinchillas can die of heatstroke in anything above 22°C, so I was happy that this kept the room they are in around 20C even on days that hit 37 outside.

Being able to use the app to control it while at work (and even away on our honeymoon) is brilliant, and always works perfectly.

A beautifully designed air conditioner which is excessively loud and only seems able to reduce the temperature about 2 degrees in a small room. The "smart" features are very poorly implemented and once connected, alexa says that the unit is "unavailable". The Home Comfort app on android crashes when you try to edit schedules.

We got now this machine for 2 weeks, and I really do regret it.
The main problem is than you need to empty the condensation baquet every 2 hours... I wanted to use this AC for a bedroom of the 1er floor, and you need to think to go check every 2 hours the water reserve otherwise the AC stop work and in this time the room get warm again.. waisting of energy, money and time...
The room is 25sq, and it won’t go cool (-4degree) in 4hours (and 1baquet to empty).
I won’t not recommend this AC at all.
Sorry AEG need to be redone.

I'd probably give it 3.5/5 if possible! It's actually a very good machine which seeks to break new ground in humble mobile air con design but some room for improvement. Accepting all mobile units are quite big, heavy and noisy to start with:
1. it looks good!
2. it's relatively tall with a smaller footprint although heavier than most.
3. the window kit is a great idea and whilst not perfect for typical UK windows, it works better than the rest.
4. A+ energy rating is good!
5. the remote whilst stylish has no display and you have to be close enough to the unit to see what you are setting.
6. you have to get really close to the buttons on the machine itself to see their functions.
7. the phone app isn't as easy to set up as it should be but works well.
8. they don't publish the units air flow (air volume) which means it's not easy to compare with similar units in terms of room size effectiveness.
9. it says not to use the unit in a room smaller than 12m2 but I think you will be ok if it's not sealed.
10. a few hours to get modest bedroom from a humid 28 to a comfy 22degC still leaves me a bit unsure of the air flow.
11. the box identifies anti-bacterial filters but they are not included and it's uncertain if they are available as an accessory in the UK.
12. I assumed there would be an advantage in having AEG for support but my support query is already a month without answer (but I sorted it myself).
