The Friedrich ZoneAire Select is a 12,000 BTU portable air conditioner designed to cool spaces up to 550 sq. ft. This white, 115V unit features digital controls, a programmable timer, and Wi-Fi connectivity for convenient operation. With a washable filter and a dehumidification capacity of 65 pints per day, it offers efficient cooling and improved air quality for various rooms.
Always buy a dual-hose model over a single-hose model; single-hose units pull hot air from outside into the house, defeating their purpose. Pay attention to the 'SACC' BTU rating, not the older ASHRAE rating. Available from $549.97.
Portable ACs are highly inefficient compared to window units, leading to high electricity bills. The only minor maintenance is cleaning the dust filter and occasionally replacing window seals.
Common Failure Modes
Compressor failure or refrigerant leaks render the unit useless and are rarely cost-effective to repair. Internal float switches can fail, causing the unit to stop cooling or leak water.
