Have You Used a Portable Floor Unit Air Conditioner?

Yesterday's low around here was in the 60 F range.. I've been up since 3:30am, and know it's not going to end until I buy the right thing.

Window AC units won't help at all, because in order for the coils to be activated, it needs to be much hotter than 60 F.. When it's 80 degrees, there's an exchange from hot to cold.

I found this below. Unfortunately, they don't have this on Amazon. I wanted to read the reviews before making a purchase. I just called this guy, and he lives pretty far, but for $200 (which is the max I can afford), it might be worth it. Or does it work just like a window AC unit? My mom had something like this at her work place a few years ago, and it didn't help one bit. I don't remember the model, etc., but I looked it up, and the page was full of bad reviews.

The guy didn't seem to know what was going on. He even asked me "Do you want to heat your room?" (moron, I specifically called and asked about the air conditioner and told it I needed it freezing). I asked the guy if he could test it out, to save us both time. He said, "I don't know" (what a moron, five minutes and you get a sale!) and hesitated, hemming and hawing, and finally he said, "We'll get in touch with you in a few days or so". His wife was like the Jill Biden of the relationship. He posted a receipt showing he paid $342 for it, and says he's going with central air conditioning. He actually said, "You might be better off buying a fridge".

Those are trash, don't buy it. I got one as a temporary solution last year after it was gone take the repairman 2 days in the middle of summer to fix our shit. It's a huge hassle to set up and keep the water levels checked, plus it only cools a limited space. Just get a window unit if you need one.

Re: Have You Used a Portable Floor Unit Air Conditioner?

The thing with window units (I have one in my room as we speak) is that the coils don't activate unless it's REAL hot outside. Yesterday's lows were in the 60s, and so it was worthless and my room was very warm.

I just wanna know the difference between the two.

Re: Have You Used a Portable Floor Unit Air Conditioner?

IDK what the hell you are talking about and neither do you. What is this nonsense about "the coils don't activate…"

You do understand how air conditioners work, right? No, you don't. If your AC doesn't "turn on the coils" until it gets hot then its fucking broke. If you turn on an AC then it works no matter what the temperature is. When I was younger I used a window AC even in the winter time because I like it really cold when I sleep. If it's 20 degrees outside your AC will work, and i'm not sure why you think it won't. I was driving in my car this morning blasting the AC and it was 45 degrees, it worked fine. Everything you said above is nonsense.

You sound like a (Steve) fake.

You don't seem to fucking read.

Re: Have You Used a Portable Floor Unit Air Conditioner?

You don't seem to understand how AC units work, or anything else for that matter. I believe you are most likely genuinely retarded, which accounts for you being such a poor, dumb bastard who can't afford a proper AC unit since they cost more than $200.

Now go flip those burgers and consult your post-it notes so you know which shoe goes on which foot today, you mentally diseased moron.

Enjoy sweating like a pig and living in absolute filth, literal swine.

I had a 14000 BTU Haier one for a ~250 square foot bedroom and it worked really well until the temperature got to 100+.

Re: Have You Used a Portable Floor Unit Air Conditioner?

Did you ever use it when it was 50-60 degrees outside?

Re: Have You Used a Portable Floor Unit Air Conditioner?

Yeah, it'll keep the room really cold if you use it when it's that low of temp outside. My advice is to get something with high BTU (10,000 or above) and only expect it to cool one room. You might also want to look at minimum temp, most don't go below 60.

Re: Have You Used a Portable Floor Unit Air Conditioner?

Look, genius, the coils won't fire until it gets to be really hot outside, so everything you just said is nonsense. What exactly did they teach you at that clown college you attended?

Jesus fucking Christ, man. Your topics are grim. Do you ever go outdoors?

Re: Have You Used a Portable Floor Unit Air Conditioner?

I have talked with a couple of people who have bought one of those floor units. I was curious. One friend lives in a small apartment. One lives in a little mobile home.
Both say that this sort of unit is a waste of money.

You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

Re: Have You Used a Portable Floor Unit Air Conditioner?

Window units work way, way better. I've never had the issue mentioned here where window units don't work unless it's hot. But when I was living in student housing they didn't allow window units even though it was regularly 80+ so these were our only option.

Re: Have You Used a Portable Floor Unit Air Conditioner?

That's nonsense! The coils will not fire unless it's insufferably hot out! Every moron knows that!

Re: Have You Used a Portable Floor Unit Air Conditioner?

Yeah this is what happens when you need to justify not being able to afford to replace your 15 year old unit, I think.

Re: Have You Used a Portable Floor Unit Air Conditioner?

Well he should get a stimulus check in a few days then he'll be able to afford a unit and all the post-it notes he can stand!

Re: Have You Used a Portable Floor Unit Air Conditioner?

I agree. I have a window unit in one of the windows in our kitchen. Not only does it cool the kitchen in the summer, but it
also takes away any humidity in three adjoining rooms.

We have one of those we use in the summer in our livingroom, it works well
