A British air-treatment specialist whose MeacoCool portables put quiet running and proper UK support ahead of the lowest price.

About the brand

Quiet portables from a British air-treatment specialist

Meaco is a British company based in Guildford that has built its name on air treatment, dehumidifiers first and cooling second. Its MeacoCool portable air conditioners are monobloc units you wheel into a room and vent through a window, aimed at people who cannot or do not want to fit a permanent split. What sets them apart is a focus on quiet running and straightforward UK support rather than the lowest possible price.

The MeacoCool line runs from compact bedroom-sized units to more powerful models for living rooms, most using low-GWP R290 refrigerant and offering cooling, fan and dehumidifier modes. They are not cheap for a portable, and like any monobloc they are less efficient and more noticeable than a wall-mounted split, but for a renter or a room that cannot take fitted kit they are a sensible, well-backed choice.
