Does anyone know someone who has a PORTABLE AC? I saw it's 7000 bTU's and it's a AC that you can move from room to room. Trying to decide is this a good investment, please someone talk to me I'm hot and miserable

Ireneparalegal · 08-27-2007, 08:14 PM

I haven't a clue. I feel for you though.

How hot is it?

coffield3 · 08-27-2007, 08:23 PM

Wont a regular fan do the trick in the mean time?

dawsongirl · 08-28-2007, 12:15 AM

Just make sure you have a window to stick the hose out of. Those portable ones have a hose or something that sticks out a window. Exhaust or drainage...not sure what the hose does, but it's there.

Go to Home Depot and buy you a window AC.

Yeah, I would think that HD or Lowe's sell something like that and they shouldn't cost too much.

Yes, it's a very good investment, It's alot easier to put in the window and take out, than a window AC. It really does a good job cooling my room off.
My parents have one too and they love it.

This is the part you put in the window.

Portable AC's at Amazon

Portable AC's at Target

Portable AC's at Wal*Mart

Amcor and Haier are two very good brands.

well the portable sounds like a good one if it's $400 and that will save me from putting one in the window which i hate doing

I decided to just go ahead and buy a $60 high tech fan with nice features

So it comes with something to put in the window so the hose can go through? That looks like what i will buy next year but just don;t have it in the budget right now. I want my account to be more sexy before I get that

Already Gone · 08-28-2007, 10:53 AM

Yeah, it does. I placed a piece of wood on top of the window to keep it down tight on the vent. I don't know if you would have to do that with your windows but it's something to keep in mind.
I forgot to mention, that mine came with a remote control, which is an added bonus.

I know what you mean about budgets. I'm trying to be careful with mine.

Hopefully, it won't get really hot again in Philly until next summer.

It'll probably only be hot for a couple of more weeks. Fall is almost here.
