Why PortableAC.eu exists
Buying a portable air conditioner in Europe means wading through American square footage, mislabelled BTU numbers and window kits that do not fit your window. PortableAC.eu is the tool we wanted while doing that.
What it does
The finder turns a few facts about your room into a cooling estimate in kW and BTU, then a short list of units that fit that room, the window you will vent through, and your budget. The guides cover how to attach the exhaust hose to each European window type, with the right seal kit for each.
How units are chosen
The shortlist is small on purpose. A unit earns a place by matching a real need: a quiet mobile split for a tilt-and-turn bedroom, a dual-hose unit for a sunny living room, a budget single-hose unit for a small shaded room. Specs come from manufacturer and retailer pages and are dated, because AC prices and stock move with the season. Where a figure could not be confirmed, it is left out rather than guessed.
Independence
PortableAC.eu ranks on fit, not on who pays. The order you see is set by how well a unit matches your room, window and budget, and nothing else. The buy buttons go straight to the retailer. If that ever stopped being true, the site would not be worth running.
Built for the EU
Everything is metric, priced in EUR, and written around European window types and energy rules, including the A+++ to D label that portables actually use and the 2027 F-gas limit that is pushing the market to R290. The site self-hosts its fonts and runs the estimate in your browser, so using the tool sends nothing about your room anywhere.
Corrections
If something here is wrong or out of date, it should be fixed. The specs carry a review date for that reason. Treat prices as a starting point and check the retailer before you buy.
