PC Richards carries Amana, and occasionally another brand.
I have two. So far so good. About $350.
Newspaper ads show others, about the same price.

But even the salesguy was hemming and hawing, as they supposedly get a lot
of returns, due to high expectations.
The EER is very low, the BTUs proly not what the label says (about 8K), but,
for excellent dehumidification (buckets of water, also will throw the
condensate out with the heat (a misting process--nice), which might even
help efficiency), and passable A/C, if the space is not too big, or
enclosed, like a basement.

For winter, get a standalone dehumidifer--which also acts as a 600-800 watt
heater.

Any recommendations for a portable A/C, about 8000 BTU (the kind with a
flexible duct that goes into the window)?

I don't need heat from it -- just A/C and dehumidification.

The names Soleus and Amcor pop up a lot. The familiar names like
Friedrick
don't seem to have anything at all.
