Dolceclima Aria 8: compact 8,000 BTU/h portable air conditioner
At a glance
Small rooms are what the Dolceclima Aria 8 is made for. It measures 30.5 cm in width and 67.8 cm in height, weighs 19 kg and has a nominal cooling capacity of 2.1 kW; the manufacturer quotes 8,000 BTU/h as its maximum output. Besides cooling, it can dehumidify and run as a fan.
How you use it
Because of its modest size, the Aria 8 suits a small room where there is little space to spare for an air conditioner. You control it with the touch keys on the panel or with the remote control; there is no WiFi. A 24-hour timer is included, and the sleep function lowers the fan speed automatically. After a power cut the unit carries on in the mode you last chose. The fan has two speeds and moves up to 300 m³ of air per hour. You do not have to empty a tank, since condensate is removed automatically. A dust filter cleans the incoming air, and side handles and wheels make the unit easy to shift. In cooling mode it sits in energy class A with an EER of 2.6, and it cools at room temperatures between 16 and 32 °C.
