A WARNING ON PORTABLE ROOM AIR CONDITIONERS

If I could give 5 agrees I would.
A place I worked a few years back bought about 6 roll-arounds for spot-cooling workers in hot locations, where the workers had to spend all day in ONE small spot.
They began to break immediately.
Bad relays, evaporator fans, thermostats that leaked all their gas and had to jumped out, lousy door latches, failing start and run capacitors, failing circuit boards, and more that I have deliberately tried to forget.
I wish I could remember the name, and just spent 30 minutes trying to find this brand on the internet, but no luck.
About the 5th episode of this, and I was getting cranky, and I remember noticing that they were made in Minnesota, out of a LOT of foreign parts, and then I had a good laugh.
I have been in Minnesota during 90 degree weather, so I know it can happen.
But it's not like Florida where you can't be bothered with buying a crappy air conditioner. Buying an air conditioner made in Minnesota is like buying a steam heating boiler made in Florida.
The urgency just isn't there.
