Verdict

The Electrolux WP71-265WT is a versatile, cylindrical portable air conditioner designed for rooms up to 40 m², featuring an A+ energy rating, a 9,000 BTU/h (2.6 kW) cooling capacity, a 2.1 kW heating capacity, and a dehumidification rate of 1 liter per hour. Utilizing eco-friendly R290 refrigerant, it operates across four power levels with a maximum airflow of 320 m³/h, and includes a 24-hour timer, a premium window kit, a magnetic remote control, and built-in 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi for smartphone app integration. Its primary advantages are its multi-functional 4-in-1 capabilities (cooling, heating, dehumidifying, and ventilating), its patented AirSurround system for indirect, uniform airflow distribution, and its sleek, minimalist design. However, notable drawbacks include a relatively high operating noise level that reaches up to 64 dB(A), occasional smart app connectivity issues, and a heavy frame weighing 35.5 kg, which compromises its physical portability.
