I have a feeling that reviews on portable AC units will vary greatly depending on many variables. For example, a person trying to cool a 200sq ft room in 90 degree San Diego will undoubtedly write mich higher reviews than a person trying to cool a 500sq ft room in 105 degree Texas using the same unit.[/quote]
That’s true. Other factors include the height of the ceiling, how many windows there are, whether or not the room is in direct sunlight, etc. I guess the only way to really find out is to try it out. Unfortunately it’s hard to find any local place that has a decent selection of portable AC units and returning something that heavy by mail definitely isn’t going to be cheap.
I’m curious to know how well the dual hose vs. single hose units perform. Mine is a single hose and I sometimes wonder if I should have gone with a dual hose unit. Especially if I wanted to just use the fan to suck in cold outside air (as I was originally asking about in this thread) having an intake hose would have been nice.
