I want to buy a good room air-conditioner, free standing, any recommendation?
Question:Do you have one at home, very efficient and satisfactory for using? What is the brand? How long have you been using it? What areas it can cover?
Answers:
The closest thing to a free standing air conditioner that I know of is called a swamp fan. I saw one at Wal-Mart for around $30. It uses a fan and water to keep the area cool. They don't use any more electricity than a regular fan, but they don't cool as well as a conventional a/c. My best friend uses one in her apartment and it alone keeps the area fairly comfortable. She has used it for many years and swears by it.
Are you thinking of an air conditioner perhaps, that sits on the floor? An air conditioner has to have access to outside air. This is necessary to get rid of the heat from the house, and that generated by the air conditioner itself. This is why air conditioners are window mounted, or have an element outside the house.
