We have a really small apartment (900 sq ft) and it faces south/west (maximum sun exposure). The building does not have air conditioning and the windows are not desigend to support standard window mounted air conditioners.
We are nervous to buy a portable air conditioner. I read consumer reports and they gave portable air conditioners very poor ratings.
Have you tried them and do they work? If you have had a positive experience, which one would you recommend?

Yes, they do work. The problem is they have a lot of water that drains out all the time and it needs to be collected and emptied at least once a day.
