We're looking for a portable air conditioner - something like the " AMCOR ALD-12000E Portable Air Conditioner/Dehumidifier "

This is NOT a window unit - it's a free-standing portable air-conditioner, on wheels.

Has anyone seen this in the DR ? or any suggestions ?

I know of someone who purchased one in Coripio in Puerto Plata. A bit pricey, but available.

If you can avoid buying a portable though - consider it. They are not as energy efficient as the other types!

PriceMart

PriceMart had a some about 2 weeks ago. Portables, splits and window models. They had a small window unit for a small room for less than USD 200.oo too. Keep in mind that, while some portable units may have a water tank and thus do not need a drip line going out, they all do have a big air pipe that needs to be led to the outside to blow out the hot air. They are also not as energy efficient as window models.

... J-D.

Jeez Rob, You're about to be 7.4 million dollars richer, and you're worried about an itty bitty little classified ad?

But, I'll tell ya what. I'll buy ya a couple of cold ones at Playa Vista today for my little bleep.

C'mon, take a break for once. It's Sunday!

DR1 is a two way street. You have been speeding along it for a long time without getting a ticket. Guess what? We have AMET here as well :)

I look forward to seeing the receipt for the classified ad.

JDJones has a good deal going :)

Danby 10000 btu (DPAC10061) portable A/C for sale.

Purchased new at Pricesmart, only used for a few minutes. The wiring in my house is too thin to handle the current load, so we've never used it.

This is the A/C that comes with the tubes you route out through the window, and has a storage tank on the rear for the humidity that is pulled out of the air.

These units are not as efficient as a wall or split, but it puts out a ton of Cold air and cools down a room very quickly.

New cost was 23,000 pesos, and I am asking $19,000.00
