I can also run it off a generator during power outages. Even if you just keep one in it's original packaging/box and pull it out for emergency use only - it's a nice Plan B to have.

Fortunately, we don't have many outages. Yep, there's an old window AC in one of the rooms. Mom's in great health and walk a mile daily. Still, the heat is no fun and uncomfortable for her.
Its been on the humid side a tiny bit here in the past few days but nothing like FL. That humidity down there kicks my ass. When we were in Asia two summers ago, my kids melted. They just can't walk half a block in what feels like 100% humidity yet it was only 85%. It was brutal. What's amazing is that some of the folks there are in full business attire, suit and tie and they look fine and very composed even riding on the crowded tram. My wife looked like she just came out of a swimming pool while the business woman standing in front of us was fully dressed, make-up and all, looking very normal.
