Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Electrolux EXP26U338CW

  • Efficient and rapid cooling performance, especially in medium-sized or attic rooms up to 30m²
  • Easy to operate with an intuitive remote control and a clear LED display
  • Convenient mobility thanks to sturdy built-in casters and handles
  • Multifunctional 3-in-1 design combining cooling, fan, and effective dehumidification
  • Attractive, modern Scandinavian aesthetics
  • Eco-friendly operation using sustainable R290 refrigerant gas

What we don't like about Electrolux EXP26U338CW

  • High noise levels during active cooling, making it difficult to watch TV or sleep in the same room
  • Noticeable drop in cooling efficiency for large open spaces exceeding 35-40m²
  • Relatively heavy unit weighing over 31 kilograms, making it hard to carry across floors
  • High energy consumption when running continuously during hot periods
  • Supplied window kit and exhaust hose setup can be challenging or require extra insulation to keep hot air out

Verdict

The Electrolux EXP26U338CW ChillFlex Pro is a 3-in-1 portable air conditioner designed for cooling, ventilation, and dehumidifying (up to 1.2 L/h) in rooms up to 30-40 m². It features a nominal cooling capacity of 2600 W (9000 BTU/h), an airflow rate of 390 m³/h, and operates on eco-friendly R290 refrigerant gas with a Class A energy efficiency rating consuming 1 kWh/h. Main advantages include an intuitive LCD display, 24-hour digital timer, castor wheels for easy mobility, self-evaporating condensation removal, and an included remote control. However, its primary drawbacks are a relatively high maximum noise level of 64 dB, which may disrupt light sleepers, a hefty physical weight of 31.5 kg, and a somewhat rigid exhaust hose that can complicate window installation.
