If you live in the hot Philippine region, you know how miserable it can be to try and stay cool. You can only take off so many clothes, and if you don't have central air, a window air conditioner is the next best thing. They can be heavy and a bit tricky to install, but they can make a world of difference in your comfort.
Window air conditioners are a great way to beat the heat, and they come in a variety of sizes and prices to fit any budget.
It can be overwhelming to try and figure out which one is right for you. That's why we've been testing out a bunch of different models and brands, and we'll continue to do so in order to update this guide. In the meantime, we hope that this will help you narrow down your choices and find the perfect AC unit for your needs.
LG LA100EC 1HP DUAL INVERTER WINDOW TYPE AIRCON
The most energy efficient window AC we’ve tested has a powerful, 1.0 HP compressor that cools a room in about 10 minutes. It’s also the only window AC we’ve tested that automatically switches from cooling to heating mode. But at PHP 25, 300, the LG LA100EC 1HP Window Type AC is the most expensive aircon we’ve ever tested — it’s also our pick for the most efficient window AC.
The LG LA100EC’s 1.1 HP compressor (on the low end for window air conditioners) is more powerful than many of the pricier window AC units we tested. Its inverter compressor is more efficient and quieter than the single-stage compressors found on most household central air conditioners.
ROWA 0.6 HP Aircon Window Type
Looking for an efficient aircon that you can control from the comfort of your living room? The Rowa RAC06RCW-R is the ideal aircon for a modern household. It provides fast and efficient cooling, and comes with energy saving features. It is easy to install and is efficient in cooling your home, meaning you won’t need to turn it off for days or weeks on end.
The RAC06RCW-R is an air conditioner with a digital LED display. This makes it easy to check the settings of your aircon, or to see how much energy it is using. It also has an auto protection feature, which automatically turns the aircon on and off, depending on the outside temperature. This increases the amount of time your aircon is in use, and saves energy.
This aircon can be easily installed in any room, thanks to the window type design. It is compact and slim, and comes in stylish colours. The RAC06RCW-R is durable, and can easily withstand scratches and stains.
The Kolin 0.6HP window type Airconditioner makes cooling a breeze, and it comes with all the bells and whistles you expect from a professional-grade model.
We tested this air conditioner in a variety of conditions, including desert heat, coastal humidity, and high altitude. We also put it through its paces for durability and energy efficiency. This air conditioner earned the highest ratings for all four categories, and this air conditioner offers all of the same top-end features as the higher-priced models.
The Kolin 0.6HP 3-in-1 air conditioner uses less energy than other portable air conditioners and has a two-stage compressor for fast cooling. It also has an anti-bacterial filter that is washable.
