portable ac...

do these really work? can you reccomend one? i cant believe how they are...does anyone know of any on sale?

also i saw some have the heater option do you think its worth it? This would be for my basement

Re: portable ac...

We have one that we got from someone who was getting rid of theirs. It's a Sharp and yes, it does really work. I wish it was heating & cooling bc we use it in the basement.

Re: portable ac...

it works we have one purchased it last September (the only time we purchase air conditioners so its not so costly) it works but the one we got isn't the greatest because we should of gone for more BTU's and one that when it reaches temp it shuts off instead of a continues running one.

Re: portable ac...

We've had one for 6+ years. We had casement windows, and in one of the bedrooms, we couldn't get a window AC that fit. Make sure you get one that pumps out the water when the tank is full. That's what we have, so it never has to stop. If you have a stand-alone tank to hold the condensation, once the tank is full, it shuts off until you empty it.

It definitely works, and that's why we're holding on to ours even though we have CAC now. If the CAC ever breaks, we have a backup that we can put easily in whatever room we want.
