Wood’s AC Cortina 12K has been named best in test in Aftonbladet’s major review of portable air conditioners again. For the sixth year in a row, our best-selling AC is praised for its high cooling capacity, user-friendliness and quiet operation.
But it’s not just the classic that shines. The new Wood’s AC Cortina 12K AirSwitch, which is designed specifically for bedrooms, also gets high marks in the test, where they mention the low noise level as an extra plus.
For the sixth consecutive year, Wood’s AC Cortina 12K has been named Best in Test in Aftonbladet’s comprehensive review of portable AC units. A title that confirms what thousands of Swedish homes already know – when it comes to efficient cooling, low noise level and ease of use, Cortina is in a class of its own.
In addition to the classic Cortina 12K, Aftonbladet has also reviewed our latest innovation in this year’s test: Wood’s AC Cortina 12K AirSwitch, a model designed specifically for bedrooms and sound-sensitive environments. With its patented AirSwitch™ technology, it is designed to run all night – without disturbing you. When the outside air is lowered, the compressor is turned off and a silent fan cools the room with the cool outside air. The air brought in is also purified by a HEPA filter, making it perfect for allergy sufferers and children who are extra sensitive to airborne particles.
“With AirSwitch, the noise level goes down to a minimum of 35 dB. That’s as close to an empty bedroom as any portable air conditioner comes today.”
