Best portable aircons in Singapore
1. Evapolar

For an extra-sleek and fuss-free portable air conditioner, we recommend you check out Evapolar. There’s zero installation required and it’s small enough to bring along anywhere you go. The EvaChill has gotta be our favourite. It’s ultraportable with a handle that fits seamlessly into the device’s silhouette. Other versions include EvaLightPlus and EvaSmart, with removable water tanks and a wider range of settings.

2. Avolta
Want an air conditioner while being mindful of your energy consumption? Avolta’s got a range of portable air conditioners that are perfect for you. The refrigerant (aka what makes your air cold) it uses isn’t harmful and doesn’t affect the ozone layer. It has four-in-one functions that make it incredibly versatile too. Think cooling, dehumidifying, and fan functions, and even a heater. Not that we’d ever need it, but we suppose it’s nice to know it’s there.

Each comes with a reusable and washable filter so there’s no need to worry about buying expensive replacements.
