Unold 12K Mobile Split Promises Split-System Cooling Without Drilling

Manufacturer and retailer present the unit as a quieter, multifunction alternative for tenants that uses a fixed connection and a window-mounted outdoor module, avoiding permanent facade work.

Overview

  • The Unold 12K is sold in the CHIP Store as a mobile split system meant to give split-style cooling without permanent installation on building facades.
  • Product specs list 12,000 BTU (3.5 kW) cooling power and suitability for roughly 105 cubic metres of space, which the manufacturer equates to about 42 square metres.
  • Unold and CHIP promote the device as quieter than many single-hose monoblock mobile air conditioners and as offering cooling, heating, dehumidifying, and ventilation functions.
  • A fixed connection hose is built into the unit and cannot be removed, so the model is designed for use with the included window/external-unit setup rather than routing a separate hose through a drilled hole.
  • CHIP frames the listing as tested in its Testcenter, but the reporting relies on product claims and the store listing and does not include independent performance verification, so buyers should seek third-party reviews before purchase.
