Personal Air Conditioner?

[jmcoreymv]

Im looking to get a small portable air conditioner for my dorm room that I can just like lean against the window screen (since im not allowed to take the screen off. Can anyone recommend a good unit?

i don't think that will work too well.

They are expensive. You could however get a small $90 from home depot and just sit it in front of the screen with a bucket to drain the water.

Damn, oh well worth a shot.

I remember seeing one that would sit on the floor and you just ran a duct to the wondow and it had its own drain bucket, but I don't remember anything else about it, saw it online

Does the cafeteria have a large ice machine?

Those ones that you don't need to stick out of a window are expensive and you can't run a normal one inside a room since you'll be creating more heat than cold. You could try rigging up a box structure to cover the half that's supposed to go on the outside and use a duct to exchange air.

Depending on where you are, you can use a evaporative cooler, you can get a personal one for $50ish. But they won't work if the humidity gets too high since the rely on the water evaporating to too the air down.

A De-humidifier will make you feel colder......
115v and a drain.
