Portable Air Conditioners - worth it?

That's in the home office now, with the aircon running since 8AM (4 hours).

 

Oh yeah and a fan is running too. So the air is well mixed and there's no "hot pocket" where the thermometer happened to be sitting.

so to clarify - that I consider too hot for comfort in a room I sit 14h per day in. The bedroom is a similar discomfort.

 

Thanks for the information on the corpo behind it. We'll definitely be pinging them.

How much heat generating equipment are you using in that 'office' - obviously not cooling enough if set for 20c and still at 28c but are there multi computers or such?  The model indicates a 12,000 btu unit which should cool most medium sized rooms fine.  Do you have glass walls by chance?

 

You said had 3 techs check but sounding like there is something wrong - lost cooling during install perhaps.  Can you get a temp reading direct in front of the fan coil unit air stream into room?  Not sure what it should be able to get indications with Google search.  

 

As you say old units were same size and worked fine it must be they screwed up as inverters do work fine also.  

 

Sorry can not be helpful to original request but portable units are mostly <deleted> and more trouble than they are worth.  Believe need to resolve reasons current units are not cooling more.
