What is the difference between a window unit air conditioner and a portable air conditioner?
Yes, they can work very well but you have to be aware of how to position them for best cooling effect: you can't just stand a portable air conditioning unit in the middle of the room, as if it was a room heater.
Always place the portable AC unit next to a window opening (or similar) so that all (100%) of the hot air from the unit gets sent outside the room you are trying to cool.
If you let any of the hot air from the unit get back into the room you will just be wasting electricity.
There are some tricks to get the most out of a portable AC. First, insulate the exhaust hose. Even something simply like wrapping the exhaust hose with towels, or modifying a hot water heater insulation blanket to cover the exhaust hose can yield huge improvements in the performance of the air conditioner because the exhaust hose radiates a lot of heat back into the room during normal operation.
Another hint - I nearly always recommend that our customers buy a dual hose portable air conditioner because they are more efficient and typically cool better than single hose units.
