I am considering getting a portable air conditioner so I could move it between rooms to cool whichever area I need, instead of buying an air conditioner for each room.
Portable air conditioners seem to be popular here, but then on the various DR classifieds sites there's tons of them for sale, far more in number than standard split ACs, which is giving me an impression that they don't work all that well. Also various internet reviews indicate that they don't perform as well as split ACs.
Without having used one, it seems that there is some negative of having one in that a door or window must be kept ajar for the exhaust tube to hang out. But I have no idea about the actual utility they have of being able to cool a room.
Anyone with a portable air conditioner care to share their experience?
