We got one of the portable ones two years ago for my DD’s very small room, and it was next to useless. Now it’s taking up space in the attic. We have a few friends who have had similar experiences. It’s a great idea, but they just don’t work.

What kind was it and how was it used? Obviously if always kept in the room constantly, it will not cool down the air (laws of thermodynamics). However, there are the ones which you set outside to cool a tank of water, and then bring it in. However that’s also a hassle. Portable ACs = bad idea.
