I have a couple of portable AC units that I use during the summer, and
wanted to ask if anyone had ever had this issue before.


A bunch cut.

Have you tried cart, furniture cart, or dollie? And Harbor Freight?
Furniture cart turned up fancier ones.

Yes, I've looked at those type of things, too. They usually aren't high
enough off the floor to insert a bucket to catch the excess condensation.

Use a commode - they come with a bucket built in.


That doesn't make sense.
Why not?



A commode??

an old portable crapper. Set the (crappy) portable AC unit on the
seat and let it drain.


So, you really don't have a good idea where I could find a better
version of a portable AC platform to catch and drain excess AC condensation?


Yes. Go to an antique shop and my an old commode chair, or to your
local goodwill type store-or to your local health and mobility supply
and buy a new one.
I'm DEAD SERIOUS.
Basically an adult "potty chair" Get one with a flat topoften
bariatric - or easier to find and lower cost - a standard one and
fasten s wooden flat top on it.


Something like this:
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Medline-S...ommode/7983655 Remove
the plastic seat.. Install a shelf in it's place.. Put hole in shelf
for drain. Drain into commode bucket. The bucket can be removed from
the front without disturbing the air conditioner.. A float switch CAN
be installed to shut off the air conditioner when the bucket gets too
full.

hmmmm OK ... I understand what you're describing, now. I don't think
the potty chair is wide or deep enough, though, to fit the dimensions of
the rolling AC. That is a good idea.

I thought you were pulling my leg on this one! Sorry!

This is so typical. Here you are talking about using a commode when
one of the first posts gave you an excellent, easy, solution:

Gf "Why not just add a small condensate pump and send the water down a
drain somewhere? "

You: "I don't know how I'd do that, but it sounds like a good idea."


So, you're too lazy to google a bit, educate yourself, figure out
what he recommended, which is so simple a child could do it.
Instead you prefer an endless thread of more BS. The village idiot
rides again and this time, you're riding the commode.
