Finally a cool bedroom in this Oklahoma heat!
My bedroom is above our garage with a large south facing window. This means it gets super hot no matter the central AC setting. So, instead of spending a fortune on electric to have my central AC continuously try to 'catch up' I added a portable unit to my bedroom. I really didn't want a window unit b/c they look kinda junky and this would be on the front of my house, plus I wanted to keep the screen on my window b/c of bugs. I searched a few and chose this one as my top 3 but went with it in the end b/c at the time there was a $70 off coupon on Amazon. I'm so glad I did. It's very easy to use and works very well. It only services a bed room but it's as large as a 3 car garage so it really works for a good sized room. I'll definitely be purchasing another one next year for a covered patio because this one works so well. You do need a place to vent it so there is a hose that sticks out back to a window, we just kind of hid that hose with the curtain. We were also able to leave our screen on the window to prevent bugs from sneaking in and then taped around the exhaust to seal it tight. My only suggestion would be to put it on something. We put it up on a wood crate, this allows for better water drainage from the unit b/c the drainage port is on the VERY bottom of the unit. I will also say that it can pull a lot of water out of the air so the drainage bucket may need emptied daily depending on how humid it is where you live. I'm in OK, so it's pretty humid.
