      Saves space.

        Much harder to install than a portable air con. Got to build some kind of frame or buy an air con bracket to support the heavy weight of it.

          But easier than a split system.

      Yeah, you'd be surprised! A lot of people still really love them and Kelvinator in particular is still coming out with new models of this type of A/C!

      These are pretty popular in the US, split systems aren't. They're a much bigger market.

      I bought a similar one earlier in the year for my kids room and built a frame for it so its built in to the top half of the window and bottom half is still a window that just doesn't open.

      Portable aircons take up floor space and in my experience do an inferior job. This is out the way ready to go when needed

      $252 for the aircon from Kogan delivered on special. Installed it myself saving $500+ on a split system install and it does a pretty good job in their small room. Honestly never understood how these became so out of fashion for portable aircons. Split system is much better but in a completely different price range and requires a licensed installer.

        Nice! $252 delivered was a very good price.
        Probably not going to get any specials like that at this time of year :(

        • mxlegend99 on 17/11/2020 - 14:04

          I ordered mine on December 29th 2019. It arrived i think first business day of 2020. Cant remember exactly what the sale was. Probably boxing day specials based on when I ordered it.

          But yeah considering it was summer it was a great deal on it.. works very well in my kids room which is about 3.6m x 4m or so from memory.

          I dunno why I thought I ordered it end of January. Pretty sure there was sales on before then. But shipping killed it. I think i jumped on the deal when there was free shipping.

    • ndenham on 16/11/2020 - 16:19

      We bought one as a temporary AC while waiting for renovations to commence. Wouldn't have survived the summer without. Much quieter than the portable AC we were gifted before hand.

    hi SOA - how well do these perform compared with portable air-cons. Assume they are more efficient, but sufficiently improved to be worth the hassle of installation, inability to move around the house etc?

    • TEER3X on 16/11/2020 - 15:12

      These are decent, portable ACs terrible efficiency

    • MarketingSaveOnAppliances @ Save On Appliances Brisbane on 16/11/2020 - 15:17

      Hey Idyllboy!
      These box aircons generally perform better than portable a/c's (per kilowatt), so to answer your question, yes, they're more efficient. This model in particular would probably be cheaper than most of your portables. The downside compared to a portable a/c is that these are a bit louder.

      • dangerdong on 16/11/2020 - 15:25

        People should also keep in mind that the portable AC will have the compressor loop within the room, while the window AC will still have the compressor outside. Louder than a splitty but can be quieter than a portable! Also way more efficient.

    They love them in the US still! Wild seeing skyscrapers with window rattlers all the way up.

    I'm actually a little bit tempted to grab one - we've got ducted aircon which is hideously inefficient overnight - wouldn't be terrible to slot one of these bad boys in for bedroom cooling.

    I've been temped to put a split in our bedroom but there isn't any suitable wall space.

  • SteveAndBelle on 16/11/2020 - 15:50

    Agree with the OP and TEER3X… speaking from experience, these 'window rattlers' are actually far better than the portables for the same money. I was actually quite shocked at how bad the very powerful $400 portable AC was but I bought it as a quick temp solution. It did an 'OK' job but these are miles ahead… not as good as a split which is even further ahead again but very decent nonetheless and could be DIY installed/removed in a rental situation.

    I've always wondered why no-one's invented a hybrid version of all three though… basically a split system with a semi-weatherproof outdoor unit that can sit on a simple concrete paver or balcony or possibly even hang from a window sill and a neat & tidy indoor unit that can either sit on a table or also hang from the window sill maybe even via the same device as the outdoor unit then a pair of permanently connected, flexible gas hoses between them that can pass through a slightly opened door or window. You could then just plug the indoor unit into a standard GPO and off you go! Hmm, maybe I should invent that.

    EDIT: Looks like I'm too late, I just found this but I think they're only available overseas.

      I bought portable split DeLonghi from Clive Peters ~14 year ago. You can see these devices popping up on eBay from time to time.

      • SteveAndBelle on 16/11/2020 - 17:27

        How was the DeLonghi?

        • SickDmith on 16/11/2020 - 17:57
          +1

          It was great. It was reverse cycle - cooling/heating.
          Indoor unit was similar to what we can see in split systems - it has to be fixed on the wall. It had draining hose which has to follow the main "cable" to go somewhere outside. The "cable" was a two flexible pipes with "quick connect" valve so you can detach outdoor unit from indoor unit without losing the gas.

          It was something like this
          https://static1.shop033.com/resources/F6/2806/resized/F4/168…

          Once installed it looked like traditional split system but with a thick ugly hose on a side which has to go into a balcony.

          It wasn't that portable in terms of portability. But it was identical in operations and convenience to the normal traditional split systems once installed.
          If I own the property I would install a proper fixed one.

          • SteveAndBelle on 16/11/2020 - 19:27

            @SickDmith: Yeah nice!! That's exactly what I was thinking of. I wonder why they're not popular… I mean with installation costs now $500-$600 there'd be people willing to spend $1000-$1200 on an absolute DIY solution instead of a permanent split system surely?!

      I'm hoping Midea Au would bring this model into Au, a good designed product i reckon. Would be even quiter than the standard box window air con, and you can still use the window as normal-ish.

      Yeah unfortunately, due to the size of these and the location of our warehouse, it works out being far too expensive for us to get these delivered further outside Brisbane / Gold Coast. Sorry about that mate!

    What would you recommend for a 45sqm living room (bottom floor)?

    • MarketingSaveOnAppliances @ Save On Appliances Brisbane on 17/11/2020 - 13:40

      It's gonna depend on a few things:
      - is the room insulated?
      - does it get a lot of hot afternoon sun?

      Generally, if the room is protected from the sun, and is insulated, we'd suggest a 6.0kw unit, but they're a bit harder to find. So typically, we'd suggest a 7.0kw.

      I'd recommend this split system A/C - Kelvinator KSD71HWH - $1399 with 7.1kw cooling, 8.0kw heating.

      You can always give us a call on 07 3085 8130 if you want to discuss in more depth!
