Strange. I sent a query on their website and got a response within 15 mins. Aircon and installation paid for on the Monday, was installed and working great by 3pm on the Tuesday

As luck would have it lol........the weather here has cooled down to under 30's for the last few days. So haven't been able to test the cooling effectiveness of the GMC portable aircon yet.........but so far seems like a really nicely built and quality machine.

I'm trying to get the WIFI part working now. Might need some assistance from their technical guys. Anyway, will keep updating my experience with this little Aircon

Will probably use Smart Life app (tuya) - you just need to get it into pairing mode then add the device into the app

How many BTU are they?

How many BTU are they?

2 x 9000 for small bedrooms and a 20000 for the living area, although it's branded as a 24000, not sure why exactly but it's specced for the room size.

This big one is a beast!

This thing is going to be super efficient and quiet compared to the old unit I had which sounded like an industrial refrigeration unit when it was running.

Daikin make good stuff . Not cheap though. You get what you pay for.

Does that hole not go behind the aircon?

Not really much price difference between these and Samsung / LG ones of the same quality.

That's not for the aircon, it's an outlet for motorised blinds (which I may or may not end up installing at some point).
