I just went through this. I have a weird loft office at tge apex of the roof and its uninhabitable most summer afternoons. The office has an open wall that looks doen on a big bedroom 35x20. Idea was get the biggest portable and let it cool the whole deal and keep my computers from overheating. Being seattle we never had ac before. Hard to believe its a new normal.
Got the biggest lg, ‘dual inverter’. And its working great. No more sleeping in the basement. Bonus it keeps the humidity way down and we cant hear it. It runs at exactly the rate needed to maintain equilibrium so no cycling on and off.
They changed the ac rating system this year, from ashrae to doe and no more portables can score 14000. My lg now scores 10k and has very high efficiency (8.3?) Learn about the scores. The bigger splits require a real install but are far far more efficient. If we use this a few more years we might do something real. This unit seems more than fine in our poorly insulated house on 90 degree days.
I was worried about emptying the tank but: The condensate tank is always empty, moisture is blown outside.
