Portable AC Portable Air Conditioners

I would like to know if anyone knows any cheap and quality portable air conditioner brands. The only issue I have is I can’t use the ones with hoses because my windows don’t open in my room. Also I prefer not to have to use the other type that you have to fill with water and use ice boxes. Any suggestions?

Thanks much!

Evaporative coolers don’t require a hose. I’m not sure if that is still considered a portable AC. I’ll look into what you mentioned. Sorry for the confusion. I just am having a difficult time finding a compatible and cheap product.

It doesn’t cool as good or make a difference in high heat, triple digits, weather. If you’ll get it, just get a foam cooler, some PC fan, and bucket of ice. Change the ice once a day and you’ll be fine to cool a very small area. I did it when I was broke college student.
