Portable Air Conditioners - Do They Really Work?
We have a really small apartment (900 sq ft) and it faces south/west (maximum sun exposure). The building does not have air conditioning and the windows are not desigend to support standard window mounted air conditioners. We are nervous to buy a portable air conditioner. I read consumer reports and they gave portable air conditioners very poor ratings. Have you tried them and do they work? If you have had a positive experience, which one would you recommend?
Answer:
I have 2 portables in my apartment and they keep the whole place cool in the summer.......My apartment is HUGE and has 3 bedrooms........I love the A/C's and recommend them to anyone.....We bought 2 cheap ones 5 years ago from WalMart and they are still working great!!!! Good Luck and stop sweating Yes, they do work. The problem is they have a lot of water that drains out all the time and it needs to be collected and emptied at least once a day. they do work , but they are a pain in the a s s, you have to empty them all the time.
