[quote=afx114]I’m in the market for a portable AC unit this summer. Any suggestions on make/model? Anything I should be aware of? I’m weary about the exhaust bracket.. how airtight are those?[/quote]
When I bought mine I researched a lot of brands. The Korean made units seem to be the highest rated (Sunpentown, LG, etc) but I have no experience using anything but the one I have now. The exhaust bracket on mine is about as airtight as it could be without doing some semi permanent installation. It’s basically a big piece of plastic that covers part of the window that the exhaust hose attaches to. I guess if you wanted to you could put weatherstripping around the cracks but with portable AC that’s probably the least of your problems.
I have one of those currently. It works well but I have to leave the window completely open, which lets in all of the noise. I thought about cutting a piece of wood to block the rest of the open window, but mounting that piece of wood such that it’s not a permanent installation might be kind of tricky.

I had two of those for my north park rental and RB rental. I would usually put one in the window where the breeze was coming from in one room and exhaust in a room across the house so i would create a tunnel of breeze through the house… Occasionally i would put a fan in the middle to move the air. North park didnt have AC so had to do what I could.
Portable AC units work well if you can get a good seal on the inbound airflow.
