Full Review

The Woods Milano is the quietest affordable portable air conditioner we've reviewed. At 42 dB, you can genuinely sleep through it running on low. Perfect for small UK bedrooms and box rooms. The A+ energy rating means very low running costs — around £0.17 per hour at current UK electricity prices. The slim design is a genuine advantage in smaller rooms. The 7000 BTU output is sufficient for rooms up to 16m² but will struggle in larger spaces or during extreme heatwaves.
