The Best Portable Air Conditioners with Dehumidifier (UK 2026)

By the Arctic Pick editorial team · Updated 2026 · How we test & score

Most portable air conditioners are 3-in-1 or 4-in-1 units that also work as a fan and a dehumidifier, so they earn their space all year - cooling in summer and tackling damp in the cooler months.

Frequently asked questions

Can a portable air conditioner be used as a dehumidifier?

Yes - most have a dehumidify mode that removes moisture without full cooling, which is useful in spring and autumn. A dedicated dehumidifier is more efficient for that job alone, but the combo unit saves space.

Bottom line

Our top pick is the Portable Air Conditioner (our score 9.6/10) - A practical portable air conditioner (7000 BTU, 4-in-1) for proper, portable cooling around the home..
