micky belched:
A friend's air conditioning has failed and she doesn't have the money
to replace the compressor etc.

So she's looking at so-called portable AC One unit she saw looks
nice, has the right controls plus remote, but only has an output
hose. One of the laymen reviewing it makes that a deal breaker, that
it doesnt have an input hose also to the window.


tell her to save her money and just buy a window unit.
i saw test results of the so called portables and they were not good.
They barely cooled the rooms more than about 10 degrees cooler that the
outside temps.
Even the most expensive Westinghouse ($500) didn't get the job done.
Get a window unit and forget it
