i know cdn tire, walmart, home depot, rona, futureshop, costco, bestbuy and etc sell portable air con. i am trying to seek some suggestions or ideas here.
there are a lot of portable air con over $400 with over 9000 btu, but i don't know which one is good.

I have done some online searching. I know haier and delonghi are quite popular. Wondering if any of you has used one before?

You have way to exhaust the super hot air?

IMO it's really not worth spending a few hundred dollars only for a couple days a year....^^;;

I'm the opposite...I think an AC is well worth the price!

Buy one that's at least over 10000 BTU and "bucket free", which means you don't need to discard the water yourself, the water vapor comes out in the exhaust. Get one that has full feature timer, humidifying function, fan, etc.

I have a Sharp and it has the air purifier too so it's a 2-in-1, not bad.

I have portable-air-con in my office and in my opinion it's not worth it. Whoever sitting by the Windows where the hot air went out would feel super hot. The temperature did not go down much.

does the delonghi need to connect out to the window? very interested in getting an aircon also....

I bought it from US, but they have it in here too, slightly different model. I bought it a last summer and I think it was around 450US.

I got a Danby brand from Costco. It is okay for small room with door to keep cool air in. Also, need sliding window to exhaust the hot air to outside. If you use sliding patio door, then make sure you have door stopper or a piece of wood to stop theft from opening it from outside. Anyway, I don't find portable AC is very useful. Also, quite noisy.

Fully Agree!! It's well worth the money! I had a portable one for over 8/9 years, and it's still working! My current home have Central AC, but I still use the portable one if I need to cool down the room more..! And I recently bought 1 more from Costco which is bucket free, and it has been running 24/7 for our work server room for over a few weeks now...!

Just make sure you get a bucket free model =D

how can you place the exhaust tube if the room's window is not a sliding one? I wanted to get one but I can't think of a way to put the tube at the window.

we got a Sharp portable A/C from costco down in the states i think 3 summers ago. i use it religiously during the summer in my room and so far it's been awesome still! =D it was i think $600. but every year the price goes down cuz it's becoming more and more popular.

作者: shutterbug 時間: 2009-7-20 19:03

Btw, my Sharp AC was advertised as library quiet, only 28db?
