Very helpful and informative. I've had a portable unit for the last 2 years and it's been very underwhelming. Most of the time it just doesn't cool well enough and the cooling part of it shuts off constantly when it's the most warm. Would be nice to combine your expertise + self Preference. I'm considering getting a mini split installed... But that installation costs sounds like maybe not not for a while.

How bout a portable split like the Freecom RCS-S3000T. Which from my search efforts no one offers in North America. I have used mine for 20 yrs....12500, 120v and whole heartedly recommend and would purchase it again in a heartbeat. Just say'n. Cheers

In the UK we just get the odd heatwave, but the last few years it's just been unbearable with the temperatures reaching the mid 30s (celcius) I've been thinking about getting a portable one just so it can be wheeled away to the garage when they're over, if there was a way of getting some sort of split system portable unit that'd be great 😂
