Don't waste your money on a portable A/C IMO they are a waste. Unless you want half the amount that the box reads. I had a 12,500 Btu. Did not do shit I put in one 1100 Btu wall unit big HUGE difference. I setup a room for a buddy about 8Yrs ago and what we did was just run an exhaust with the room being cool. The only downside is you blow out all the cold air so the A/C runs constant....
