Inventor Chilly 9000BTU Review

The Inventor Chilly Portable Air Conditioner is a compact, powerful and highly effective appliance. It has 3-in-1 functionality which means that not only does it air condition, it also dehumidifies and features a cooling fan, making it ideal for use throughout the entire year. It serves areas/rooms up to 20 square metres in size, making it ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, conservatories, garages, and more.

The Inventor Chilly has a number of features which make it a pleasure to use. One of these is a sleep mode which reduces the noise output in order to help you sleep whilst it runs quietly in the background. It also has an eco-friendly design, making use of more environmentally friendly R290 refrigerant (as opposed to ozone damaging freon). We particularly like its handy remote control, and also the highly portable nature of the appliance.
