Do portable air conditioners really work?
Question:I live in Sacramento, CA, where the temperature often reaches 95°+ in May, and continues to rise to upwards of 105° (and as high as 114°) until September. Would a portable air conditioner be appropriate for the climate here? Would it keep my dog and child cool enough in the summer months? A standard a/c will not fit in my window, so if I got one, my landlord would have to cut a hole in the wall to mount it, so when I moved out, I'd be forfeiting it!

We live in Florida and my friend has one she says it works good but i never been over there to see how cold it really gets.SHE LIKES IT.
Yep A portable A/C does work good. You will need to run a drain line or empty the condensate. The more humidity the more you empty. Good luck. :)
Yes they do work, but don't expect miricals from them. They are rated by BTU's that is how many square feet they will cool. Most of the units 5000-7500 BTU will only cool one room.
If I were you I would buy a split type unit as there is only a hole of 55mm to do in the wall. you will need at least a 12,000btu to cool the room, a portable I'm not sure will last long.
