What make/model are we talking? I thought the portable ones weren't supposed to be all that great, and quite noisy? We've been making do with a big floor standing fan, but it only does so much.
Mines a Challenge. I got it from Homebase for about £275. It is a little loud when the AC kicks in. Sounds a little bit like the burrring noise a pressure washer makes. It's on wheels so it can be moved easily as a bit heavy. If you get the doors shut, the tube out of the window and the curtains shut it gets the room like a little fridge in about half an hour to an hour. You set the temperature you are aiming for and when it hits it, it switches to fan only mode to save electricity.
