Third-party reviews

What we like about GOPLUS GQ21393

  • Multifunctional 5-in-1 capability supporting cooling, heating, dehumidifying, ventilation, and sleep modes
  • Convenient control options via smartphone app, remote control, and LED touch screen
  • Easy mobility due to the integration of four universal swivel wheels and built-in side handles
  • Effective and quick temperature regulation spanning a wide adjustable range from 15°C to 32°C
  • Eco-friendly operation using sustainable R290 refrigerant

What we don't like about GOPLUS GQ21393

  • Noticeable operating noise level reaching up to 54-55 decibels, which can be loud for some environments
  • Cumbersome manual ventilation setup requiring an exhaust hose to be routed through a window
  • High electricity consumption typical of portable single-hose monobloc cooling systems
  • Frequent routine maintenance required including cleaning the removable air filters and managing water drainage
  • Limited effectiveness in very large rooms or open-concept living spaces

Verdict

The GOPLUS GQ21393 is a versatile 16,000 BTU portable air conditioner designed to efficiently regulate the temperature of spaces spanning up to 35 square meters. This 5-in-1 appliance functions as a cooling unit, heater, dehumidifier (with a 29-liter capacity), fan with three adjustable speeds, and an automated system utilizing environmentally friendly R290 refrigerant. Main pros include its multi-seasonal utility, smart functionality with an integrated LED display, remote control, and dedicated mobile app integration, alongside a relatively quiet sleep mode operating under 54 decibels and built-in wheels for high mobility. However, notable cons are its heavy net weight of 30 kilograms, high power consumption at 1.7 kilowatts per hour, and a loud peak noise level reaching 65 decibels during intensive operation.
