PortaSplit out of stock? Buy a workable no-drill unit instead

No-drill alternatives

The PortaSplit is a true no-drill split AC, but it's rarely in stock. The units below all install without drilling walls — mostly monoblock portables (one unit, exhaust hose out a window) which are louder but widely available. We list typical prices and where to buy.

De'Longhi
Pinguino AP98 GentleJet

Portable monoblock

Premium no-drill portable AC for larger rooms. Needs a window exhaust hose; quieter and more efficient than basic monoblocks.

Electrolux
Comfort 600 EXP34U339CW

Portable monoblock

Strong all-round portable AC for bedrooms and living rooms. No fixed install, but it still vents warm air through a window kit.

Trotec
PAC 3500 SH

Portable monoblock

3.5 kW class portable cooler with heating mode. Good emergency choice where a split install is impossible; requires hose venting.

Midea
Silent Cool 12000 BTU

Same brand fallback when PortaSplit is gone. It is a standard hose-out-window monoblock, cheaper but louder and less efficient.

AEG
ChillFlex Pro AXP34U338HW

Portable monoblock

Widely sold 12k BTU portable AC. Suitable for renters and flats; use a window kit or seal for acceptable performance.
