Technical comparison
Specification contextSpecification rank #9 among portable air conditioners: claimed room up to 26 m²; cooling 9,000 BTU. Published inputs, not our lab test.

Published features
Why the specification score is 71.9
22 published BTU per £1 at the checked price.
52 dB comparison input; measurement conditions may differ.
2.6 claimed capacity/input COP proxy; not independently measured.
Published features: Wi-Fi, window kit. Unknown binary inputs receive neutral half-credit.
2 exact-model sources; 1 unique review pools.
Evidence report
What matters, what we know and what is missing
This is a specification-ranked comparison report, not purchase advice. It uses the category evidence profile below and keeps hands-on findings separate from the published specification score.
Observed cooling under disclosed room, heat-load, ambient-temperature and run-time conditions.
No exact-model hands-on synthesis is published. This report covers sourced comparison inputs, coverage and open gaps; it makes no claim about real-world performance beyond retained sources.
Inside the bounded published category method.
Across 15 factor-removal and weight-change scenarios.
5 blocking gaps remain.
Category evidence needs, decision cruxes and constraints
Observed cooling under disclosed room, heat-load, ambient-temperature and run-time conditions.
Hands-on state: not collectedMeasured or directly observed noise with mode, distance and room context.
Hands-on state: not collectedHands-on installation evidence for the supplied kit, hose and relevant window type.
Hands-on state: not collectedObserved drainage behaviour in cooling and dehumidifying use.
Hands-on state: not collectedMeasured consumption tied to mode and delivered cooling, not nameplate input alone.
Hands-on state: not collectedDirect evidence on weight, wheels, handles, hose storage and movement between rooms.
Hands-on state: not collectedHands-on overnight context covering noise, light, cycling and temperature control.
Hands-on state: not collectedHands-on gate: Use two independent exact-model hands-on sources, or one transparent controlled test that discloses room, installation and measurement conditions.
Published BTU and room claims do not establish cooling under a shared room, heat-load and energy protocol.
Published noise values may use different modes and conditions; compressor-state measurements are missing.

Normalized decision receipt
11 mapped fields each carry a canonical receipt hash and an origin status. Source access time is kept separate from field observation, so a configured value is not presented as freshly re-extracted.
sha256:d8f1cca523c401847d2afa6f40565817f2c003f62dc53398499800f04fe32cffThe score and rank compare retained specification inputs inside this bounded category cohort. They are not a hands-on quality verdict and are not comparable across categories. Open evidence gaps block purchase advice regardless of specification score, rank, offer state or review-synthesis verdict.
Source notes and limitations
Evidence limitations
- No controlled laboratory cooling result is used unless explicitly linked.
- Room coverage, noise and power are published specifications, not Agent Review Data measurements.
- The tracked offer can change after its checked time.
Recommendation caveats
- Ranking compares published specifications and checked price; it is not a laboratory test.
- The tracked offer was out of stock when checked.
- Owner-feedback coverage is too narrow for an internet-wide consensus claim.
Owner feedback across the web
One exact-model review pool is visible. It is trust-adjusted and not presented as internet-wide consensus.
One exact-model commercial review pool. It is pulled toward neutral and is not presented as internet-wide consensus.
Inspect review pool ↗Independent tests and owner discussion
No separate third-party source passed the exact-model check at this refresh.
- No separate editorial, owner-pool or Reddit source was captured for this exact model.
Follow the decision back to the source
This pilot preserves real claim IDs and source links for two products. Missing hashes, snapshots and calculations stay explicit rather than being reconstructed from page content.
This trace preserves the richer source and claim research record, but the older category calculation was not stored with claim IDs. The missing link remains visible.

Important qualifications and shared origins
meaco-offer-availability → meaco-offer-priceThe observed price was attached to an out-of-stock listing.
meaco-owner-pool-mirror → meaco-owner-pool-primaryThe two related storefronts share a publisher and an identical 11-review count, so the mirror is not independent.
What could change the answer
No reproducible cooling test with room volume, heat load, sealing, temperatures and energy consumed is retained.
Metric type, distance, mode, compressor state and room background are missing.
The only retained exact-model offer was out of stock and is no longer current.
Why purchase advice is blocked
No controlled cooling, energy or noise record is retained.
There is no current exact-model in-stock offer observation.
A recorded second-person review has not been completed.
The pilot retains links and dates, but no hashes, snapshots or complete source excerpts.
