DeLonghi Pinguino 14000BTU Portable AC Air Conditioner, 700SqFt, Black

I bought this just before a mid 90 degree heat wave was about to hit our area in order to keep our approx 600 sg ft dog kennel cool. It worked well and kept the area at a comfortable temperature. This is so much easier to set up and use than a window mount that I would consider purchasing another portable unit rather than a window mount any day. Just remember that the portable unit does need to drain. I my case I could set it up over a floor drain , so it was easy to deal with. The down side, if you are not so lucky as to have a drain nearby, is that you may have to run a hose, use a shallow drain pan or periodically empty the unit.

I could no longer deal with the heat of this summer so I decided to give this unit a try. It is providing an indoor temperature drop of 10 degrees even though I'm not following guidelines for optimal cooling like closing off adjacent rooms. It's very quiet, even at the highest setting. I'm pleased with the purchase and feel it was money well spent.
