Sunpentown International WA9000E

Pros: It really cools down my room

Cons: Have to empty water tank twice a day

Review: This Sunpentown portable air conditioner has best combination of features and value. This unit is effective, efficient and easy to use, and it does cool my 300 square feet room. Its digital display and remote control make it easy to control temperature ...

Pros: Lots of cold air, looks nice, takes only minimal window space.

Cons: May no longer work after 3 days, window units hundreds cheaper, control buttons look/feel cheap.

The Bottom Line: Due to reliability concerns, cost, and limited manufacturers to choose from for this type of product, I regrettably have to recommend using a window unit instead.
