Any brand with a catchy intentional misspelling automatically loses 50% credibility in my book.

We bought our 1-story house instead of the 2-story next door because of the problems cooling the upper rooms. Summer sucks ass down here.

Don't I know it. I am trying to make chocolate and the ideal temperature is 65-70.

I did find this one:

What about insulating your house better?

Wow guys, how bout you actually help her with the questions instead of pelting her with stupid comments and questions?!

Heather, I used to have to use these and similar when I was in property management, and we'd borrow them from the office on occasion to use in houses or tents for special events...

You can find smaller and cheaper units, this is just an idea. You want something with a large drain pan, so you can leave it a few hours without worrying about it flooding over and ruining the floor, etc. And you do want to have it near a window or vent, tho you can get a longer dryer hose, etc to get it vented. You def want wheels too for easier relocation.

Um...what?

Because I need ONE 140 sq ft room cooled to 65-70 degrees for a few hours at a time. I keep my house around 78 degrees during the summer. I am not going to crank my a/c to cool all 2200 sq ft to that temp for one room. That's as dumb as can be. Even if I insulated better, it's still Texas, it's still a sunny room on the second floor and it would still need to be cooled to 65-70.

Thank you!

Yeah, those are nice and I know they work. The tea room I worked at in MO was in a 100 year old house so the owner had those installed.

I just don't want to install anything permanent. I want to be able to move it.
