What we like about Beko BP209C

  • Provides quick and efficient cooling performance in small to medium-sized rooms.
  • Excellent value for money compared to permanently installed wall units.
  • Highly mobile and easy to move between rooms due to integrated transport wheels.
  • Convenient operation via the clear digital LCD display and included remote control.
  • Includes useful multi-functional features like a 24-hour timer and an independent dehumidification mode.
  • Eco-friendly operation utilizing sustainable R290 refrigerant gas with an Energy Class A rating.
  • Simple maintenance with a removable and easily washable basic air filter.

What we don't like about Beko BP209C

  • Generates noticeable noise during operation (up to 65 dB), which can be disruptive for light sleepers.
  • The provided exhaust hose is relatively short, limiting placement flexibility near windows.
  • The unit itself is heavy, making it difficult to carry up and down stairs manually.
  • The included window insulation kit can be difficult or awkward to seal effectively on certain window types.
  • Cooling capability drops significantly when trying to use it in rooms larger than its recommended capacity.

Verdict

The Beko BP209C is a monobloc portable air conditioner designed for cooling and dehumidifying rooms up to approximately 25 m², operating with a maximum cooling capacity of 9000 BTU/h (2500 W nominal) and a dehumidifying capacity of 1 L/h. Key characteristics include an energy efficiency rating of Class A (EER 2.6 W/W), a maximum airflow of 320 m³/h, a 24-hour digital timer, automatic temperature control, an LCD display, an air filter, and ZoneFollow remote technology. Main pros include its eco-friendly R290 refrigerant, a compact mobile footprint measuring 33 x 28 x 68.5 cm, automatic restart capabilities, and an effective multi-functional climate control setup. Main cons are its loud maximum noise level of 65 dB, a relatively heavy weight of 23.5 kg, a lack of heating functionality, and a low-positioned water drainage port that can make manually emptying the condensation tray cumbersome.
