The Boréal 107 or a portable air conditioner: which one?
Both spec sheets side by side, and what really separates them.
Line by line
| The Boréal 107 | a portable air conditioner | |
|---|---|---|
| Noise level | 28 to 34 dB | 55 to 65 dB, compressor in the room |
| Power draw | 5 to 30 W | 1,000 to 1,500 W |
| The window | free, nothing to run outside | exhaust hose, window permanently ajar |
| Footprint | none, it replaces the ceiling light | a unit on the floor, a cable, a socket |
| Felt effect | an immediate 3 to 4 °C off, on the skin | real, but degraded by warm air coming back through the hose |
What the other one does better
A portable unit does genuinely lower the temperature, and it moves from room to room. For one isolated bedroom used a few nights a year, it has a case.
