Do portable air conditioners dehumidify a room?
All air conditioners will dehumidify a room somewhat, but often not to the humidity level that feels as comfortable as you would like. The reason for this is that an air conditioner turns itself on and off depending on the temperature that you have set and will often turn off before the humidity is removed to the level that you want. A dehumidifier on the other hand, turns itself on and off depending on the humidity level that you want to achieve and doesn’t care what temperature you have set. We often sell humidifiers to “coastal” people where their homes might be a comfortable 72 degrees, but the humidity still remains high.
