Participant[quote=Nor-LA-SD-guy]”Hose to just use the fan to suck in cold ”
Make one, who knows maybe you could market it.[/quote]
I’ve thought about it. I could use some dryer ducting for the hose, but I would need to find something elastic that would be large enough to fit around the diameter of a huge box fan. Maybe if I’m bored one day I’ll take a trip down to home depot and see what I can come up with 🙂

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.

Participant[quote=afx114]To followup, I bought the Soleus Air LX-100 from Newegg for super cheap ($299), and it seems to work well. It has a dual-hose system (intake/exhaust). It’s a bit large but manageable. Impressed so far, but lets see how it works once we get rid of this July gloom and temps hit the 90s.

Reviews seem to be mostly negative on there, but the price is pretty cheap so as long as you’re happy with it that’s good.
I’ve noticed that my machine will output a lot of water sometimes. If I run it for 3-4 hours on a hot day the water tank will fill up and I’ll drain maybe a liter of water. Would be interesting to find out if you experience the same.
