Tested by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute: The Best Portable Air Conditioner
New York, NY, April 1, 2010 - Hammacher Schlemmer announces The Best Portable Air Conditioner after it outperformed all other models in tests for cooling ability, accuracy of temperature, ease of use, and features.
The Hammacher Schlemmer Institute conducts systematic testing of leading products, often working in concert with experts, independent laboratories, or consumer panels to analyze results and determine which products are "The Best."
Hammacher Schlemmer Institute analysts tested the air conditioners in a 442' sq. room and placed thermometers right next to the units and up to 24' away. The Best Portable Air Conditioner lowered the ambient temperature by 6º F in only one hour, while competing models could only muster a 2º F decrease.
The accuracy of each model's digital thermostat was determined by comparing their readings to those of the room thermometers. The Best Air Conditioner's digital thermostat deviated from the actual room temperature by only 1%, far superior to lesser models that were off by as much as 4%.
"Not only did The Best Portable Air Conditioner demonstrate superior cooling, but it can also be set to produce minimal noise while still cooling effectively, unlike other air conditioners that generated excessive noise at all settings," explained Tara-Ann Dugan, Product Research Manager for the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute.
The Best Portable Air Conditioner rolls easily from room to room on four casters, its exhaust system rests between a sill and an open window, and it has a washable air filter.
The Best Portable Air Conditioner is available from Hammacher Schlemmer for $599.95. For more information, please visit www.hammacher.com/11636 or call 1-800-543-3366.
