Wish me luck on my new portable AC.

12. Good luck!

we live in Florida and we used a very similar unit when the AC died in the old house. It kept our bedroom plenty cool at night and usable during the day. We had another window unit for the living room. We survived long enough to get to the new house. I kept the portable one as I intend to make a workshop/shed out back and think I can use it there. I kept it running 24/7 for many months before we moved. Just hose out the filter every once in a while (keep 2 - one to hose and 1 to use while the other is drying)

Ours vented out a side window and i just put some cardboard and duct tape around it to finish sealing off the opening. Wasn't pretty but it was behind furniture so we couldn't see it lol.

Be careful to NOT KNOCK LOOSE the drain plug. It will soggy up a floor right quick if it's loose. We didn't know it was loose until we saw the carpet getting wet and it took me a little while to figure out there was a drain plug that got loosened when my son picked the unit up to move it. That carpet was going into the trash anyway though so no harm, no foul.
