One of my sons is renting a room and wants to use a small free standing

anyone forsee possible problems with using this for the air coming out
of the AC? I wondered about condensation.

If its the type that collects water in an internal tank, then the
exhaust ought to be basically just hot air. The posher ones however
re-evaporate their condensate on the hot side of the heat exchanger and
expel moist air. The latter type would not be suitable.


Thanks very much for that. For posher I guess you can read more
expensive. We are looking at smallish cheap ones, so I think I now need
to look for one that has a tank.
