Probably a naive question, but why has there been no stock for so many weeks? Is this a global shortage due to heatwaves that no one saw coming despite thirty years of continuous warnings, or is it another hold-up caused by the AI super data centers currently under construction? (Personally, I don't need it; I've been hearing a lot about it at the office in recent weeks and I thought people just didn't know how to search properly...)

I miss being able to search specifically for a monoblock system with a hose. Units that use evaporative cooling and those with actual exhaust air are displayed without distinction. The type is usually not recognisable from the images either, so you have to laboriously click through every single product! Couldn’t the two categories be distinguished? That’s quite a difference, after all!

Will Digitec Galaxus include the newly launched Porta Split air conditioner from Midea in its range?

After reading the Galaxus article stating that despite the emergency, prices would remain unchanged, I notice that there are models being sold at more than 2-3 times the price of previous weeks. For example, "Ozeanos Eisberg 2 -mobile air conditioner-" from 280- to 898-. A Delonghi "Pinguino" sold (used!) for 2399-! The latter even more expensive than a new one! These are cases that Galaxus should investigate as they damage consumer trust.

For health reasons, I was forced to order an air conditioner (Olimpia Splendid for 25m2). It was supposedly the last model in stock... So I proceeded with the purchase for the MODEST sum of 1498,-, a price well above the product's value. But I had no choice. Very surprised that the product remained on the site for a few more days with the same notification "1 model left at the supplier". I will do what is necessary to follow up on this mishap.

I have seen that Digitec/Galaxus has various products from the Midea brand in its range. Unfortunately, one of the currently best rated air conditioners is missing. The Midea Duo with double-hose system is much more efficient than conventional single-hose devices, as it does not generate negative pressure and thus greatly reduces the flow of warm outside air. The link to the manufacturer's website: https://www.midea.com/us... And here are the reviews on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp... Please add these to your range!

Hello Unfortunately, whenever I look at something on your site, it ends up being expensive, so I’ve decided to look elsewhere and have already found a better price – the difference is over 120.- Just so you know Kind regards

Sonnenkönig 140 – 2 days ago it was 899.-, but now it’s 2300.- here on Galaxus – they’re milking it for all it’s worth!

Does anyone know if you can filter the category by availability? It doesn’t make much sense to look at dozens of devices right now that are all due to be available around October...

Does anyone in the community know whether it is permitted to use a mobile air conditioner in a rented flat if the air conditioning compressor is on the window sill? Assuming I'm not disturbing any neighbours, is it basically allowed, or is this a problem because it's visible from the outside?

Hello everyone, I’d like to upgrade my current monoblock air conditioning unit (ecofort ecoQ CoolAir 9) to a dual-hose system. My main question is whether I need to access both inlets at the rear to do this (the manufacturer’s instructions do not distinguish between them; in fact, only the upper one is described at all: https://manuals.ecofort.ch/de...). (Is one of these inlets specifically for the condenser, or does the unit simply have two combined inlets? Here’s a photo of the rear view without the filters: https://imgur.com/a... I’d also be grateful for any general tips or links to useful resources. Thanks in advance!

It's summer again, so it's time to start up the portable air conditioner and every time I ask myself why there are still no two-hose air conditioners. It's 2022, energy efficiency is a bigger issue than ever everywhere but still (with the exception of one very expensive portable split) only extremely inefficient single hose units are sold. Why is that?

I am looking for a mobile monobloc air conditioner that has 2 hoses. unfortunately they are hard to find although they are proven to be better than the ones with only one hose. Does anyone know of such a unit?

Are there any good two-hose systems anywhere? They do not generate negative pressure in the flat and do not suck in warm air from outside.

Mobile split air conditioners are more effective than mobile air conditioners with a thick exhaust hose. It would be good if Galaxus also had these in its range. Of course, a permanently installed air conditioner is more effective and better. But like many people, I live in a rented flat where that is not possible. 8.07.2017 4.30 pm the outside temperature is 33C in the shade. In the flat, all the shutters are down and all the doors of the rooms are open. The outdoor unit of the mobile split air conditioner is on the balcony. The indoor unit (which makes an incredible amount of noise) is in the living room. I have a temperature below 23C in all rooms. When we are in the living room, the air conditioner is turned off because the noise is unbearable. I have a Sonnenkönig Fresco 153E which is unfortunately no longer manufactured. It has an EEI (Energy Efficiency Index) of 3.43 (cooling capacity 4980, power consumption 1450). The EEI is calculated by dividing the cooling capacity in watts by the power consumption in watts. All mobile air conditioners with a thick exhaust hose usually do not exceed an EEI of 2.8, which is why it would be good if Galaxus also offered mobile split air conditioners. Of course, these are much more expensive than mobile air conditioners. However, the customer of Galaxus should have the possibility to compare and decide how much he wants to spend for an air conditioner. I have had my mobile split air conditioner for 3 years and I paid CHF 1900. Yes, it's a lot of money for me too, but I don't regret it. Without air conditioning it was up to 30C in the flat now it is a temperature of below 23C.

I am looking for an inexpensive air conditioner without an exhaust hose for a room of approx. 20m2. Same system as tumbler without exhaust air hose, i.e. with water tank?

Dear Galaxus/Digitec Community I asked you a few years ago about an air conditioner that doesn't have a container for condensation water or that recycles it. Back then, you made a brilliant recommendation in favour of De'Longhi. Now I'm slowly getting ready to buy 2x appliances again. Why am I unlikely to buy a De'Longhi appliance? I love my air conditioner, but my problem is that it doesn't have an app or Wi-Fi, just a Bluetooth LE remote control, which I love and also kind of hate. I would love to find an air conditioner where I have a solid app that doesn't cut out every few seconds. The condensation is recycled and it doesn't need a tank. Bonus points if the home assistant works too!!! I appreciate any good advice!!! Many thanks in advance!!! Chris

Galaxus to get the bosh mobile air conditioner?

Choosing an efficient air conditioner on Digitec can be complicated. # Types of air conditioners There are two main types of air conditioner: 1. monobloc: without an outdoor unit, including mobile air conditioners with one or two pipes. 2. split: with an outdoor unit. A distinction is made between monosplits (one outdoor unit) and multisplits (one outdoor unit and several indoor units). These types of appliance have different characteristics and their performance varies considerably. # Performance comparison A mobile air conditioner with an A+ energy class will be more efficient than a class B mobile air conditioner. However, a class B mobile air conditioner will generally be less efficient than a split model of the same class. Split air conditioners are designed to be more efficient. As a result, it is difficult to make a direct comparison between different types of appliance solely on the basis of their overall energy class. # Performance indicators To compare air conditioners, energy labels provide two particularly interesting values: - SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) Monoblocks will have a SEER of between 2 and 3.5, while splits can easily have a SEER of over 14 (in the USA, air conditioners with a SEER of less than 13 are banned). SEER = Total cooling BTUs / Total watt-hours consumed during the season. - EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio) EER = Cooling BTUs / Watts consumed. These indicators make it easier to assess and compare the efficiency of air conditioners. # Digitec Limitation Unfortunately, Digitec does not offer filters based on these values, which makes it difficult to find the most efficient air conditioner. In summary, to choose an efficient air conditioner on Digitec, it is essential to have a good understanding of the types of air conditioner and their performance, and to look for the SEER and EER indicators in the product descriptions. I expect Digitec to do its utmost to make it possible to find the most energy-efficient appliances. Especially for air conditioners!

I can't find a double-hose portable air conditioner. The single pipes are terribly inefficient so I don't want one. Do you know if they will be available in the future?

Are there air coolers and air conditioners that can be connected to Google Home? Also, which manufacturers are recommended if you want a high-quality device that doesn't just look and feel like Chinese plastic?

Hey guys, I have these two manufacturers on my list and can't make up my mind. Does anyone know anything about them by chance? Are the two manufacturers comparable? Or are there clear differences, e.g. in terms of quality service life Long-term availability of spare parts I am grateful for any input Thx!

We live in a rented flat of around 100m2 (ceiling height 2.3m) How do we cool it effectively? We already have a monobloc air conditioning system for approx. 50m2, but this is not enough for anywhere, should we get a second one? or what is the best way to do this? Split or fixed installation unfortunately not possible

Hello everyone I'm looking for a small air conditioning unit for a 20 square metre room. The room only has a tilt window, so the hose would probably have to be quite thin. Is there such a thing? It would be good if the KA itself wasn't too big either. Merci and regards

I need an air conditioner with at least 12000 BTU/h. Most air conditioners have a 12-15cm diameter hose. However, my existing window duct has a diameter of 10cm. Are there any adapters? Or which unit would you recommend? Thank you

I wanted to buy an ecofort 16+ appliance with 16,000 BTUs, but when I got to the checkout I realised that the appliance you're selling only has 12,000 BTUs. Is this a deception?

Are there any good two-line systems anywhere? I have a model with one hose for the exhaust air. This is very inefficient because warm air flows back into the room from outside. This cannot be avoided. Two-pipe systems were better, where one pipe conducts waste heat to the outside and one pipe uses lift from outside directly for cooling. Then the windows can also be sealed sensibly.

I have a Rotel mobile air conditioner with 9,000 BTU/H at home. The air conditioner should be able to cool areas of up to 50m2. My flat is only 27m2. My goal was to cool down the whole flat. My room is cooled down to 17 °C very quickly, but the rest of the flat stays the same. Would a stronger air conditioner be able to cool the whole flat (with e.g. 12'000 BTU/H)? Or can mobile air conditioners simply not do it better? Need some expert advice.
