Temprium PAC010-14K Smart Portable AC 14000 BTU

Overview

A 14,000 BTU portable air conditioner from Temprium built for rooms up to 750 square feet, with WiFi, Alexa and Google Assistant control alongside a remote and touch panel. It combines cooling, fan, dry and auto modes with a self-evaporating system meant to cut down on manual draining.

Portable ACs in this size class are often the loudest appliance in a room, so the rated 41 dB Silent Mode is the figure worth checking if bedroom use is the goal. The self-evaporating system reduces bucket-emptying in most conditions but is described as reducing the need for draining, not eliminating it, and the no-drill window kit is aimed squarely at renters who cannot modify a window frame.

• 41 dB rated Silent Mode
• 360-degree wheels for room to room moves
• 24-hour timer
• 1-year warranty

Who it's for

Renters and apartment dwellers who need real cooling for a bedroom, living room or home office without drilling into a window frame, and who want app or voice control layered on top of physical buttons. Less suited to anyone who wants a unit that never needs any draining.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

A dual motor compressor and 400 CFM airflow do the cooling work, rated at 14,000 BTU for spaces up to 750 square feet, with a 7.8 CEER efficiency rating that Temprium states works out to about 2 kWh a day. Four operating modes (cool, dry, fan, dehumidify) plus Turbo and Auto-Swing let airflow be tuned to the room, and Sleep Mode dims the display and drops fan speed to hold temperature quietly overnight.
