Gree’s portable air conditioner series GPC offers a practical cooling solution with advanced technology at an affordable price. These models provide efficient cooling without the hassle of permanent installation. They are ideal for rooms where installing a split AC is inconvenient.
The GPC series includes two models: GPC 09P1 and GPC 012P1. Each model serves different room sizes with compact design integrating indoor and outdoor units in one system. The portability and ease of use make them a popular choice in the portable AC market.
Performance and Specifications
The GPC 09P1 model has a cooling capacity of 1 PK, equivalent to 9,100 BTU, consuming 952 watts of power. It efficiently cools rooms sized between 10 to 16 square meters. Its dimensions are 31 cm in length, 77 cm in height, and 39 cm in width, making it suitable for limited spaces.
In contrast, the GPC 012P1 features a 1.5 PK capacity with 12,000 BTU power draw and 1,300 watts electricity consumption. This model is designed for larger rooms from 15 to 22 square meters. The slightly bigger size accommodates its enhanced cooling capabilities.
Mobility and Air Quality Features
Both models come equipped with 360-degree rotating wheels for easy relocation within a home or office. They include an air purifier system with active carbon filters that eliminate up to 95% of unpleasant odors and indoor pollutants. Additionally, the indoor unit is coated with a bluefin layer that inhibits mold growth and improves air freshness.
The outdoor unit is protected by a goldfin coating which prevents rust and maintains optimal cooling efficiency. An integrated water pump recycles condensate water to the condenser, enhancing energy efficiency. The HEPA filter is also integrated to reduce dust and airborne pollutants, contributing to healthier indoor air quality.
User Interface and Smart Control
Control panels feature several buttons including power on/off, cooling mode, dry mode, fan speed, timer, and WiFi connectivity. Users can conveniently operate the AC through the G Plus mobile app, offering remote activation, temperature adjustment, and scheduling right from their smartphones. A traditional remote control is also provided for quick adjustments without the need to use the app or physical panel.
Functionality and Installation
The unit’s air swing mechanism supports manual adjustment in two directions: vertical (up/down) and horizontal (left/right), ensuring comfortable airflow distribution. Hot air exhaust is managed through a 1.5-meter flexible duct that can be bent to fit window or door openings. Condensate water is drained via a dedicated outlet requiring periodical emptying.
Pricing and Warranty
The GPC 09P1 model is priced around IDR 4 million (approximately $270 USD), and the GPC 012P1 model costs about IDR 5 million (around $335 USD). Gree offers a comprehensive warranty package that includes 5 years service on spare parts and 10 years warranty on the compressor. The retail warranty covers exchange for a new unit within the first 14 days in case of product issues.
Ideal Use Cases
These portable air conditioners suit spaces where permanent AC installation is not feasible due to structural or rental limitations. Installation is hassle-free with the included complete window kit. They offer energy-efficient cooling proportional to room size, making them cost-effective for residential and small commercial environments.
In summary, Gree’s GPC series portable air conditioners combine advanced air purification, smart connectivity, and mobility in a compact, affordable unit. Their adaptability and robust warranty make them a reliable option for comfortable indoor cooling.
