Review for Portable AC
I picked this Royal Sovereign Portable Air Conditioner at a SEARs while planning my pre-emptive measures for the hot summer months. My apartment doesn’t have a central AC unit and has forced me to use less conventional methods. Last summer I kept wet bandanas chilled on my neck, as it was a Boy Scout survival technique I learned when I was 8. I do have an older window AC unit with the apartment, but after awhile it shut down and I was not willing to hassle the management for it (since they did a “wonderful” job on my heater…it smells like old clothes).
I researched a lot of units and decided on this simple AC unit because it had high markings. I turned it on and left it on for an afternoon while I went grocery shopping for the week…and when I returned it was ice cold in my apartment. I was very pleased. My mother actually asked me to bring it over already…to help her clean out her hot attic. I hated cleaning the attic as a kid, and for some reason or another my mom would always choose summer to do it. I suppose it’s because the day care kids are gone, and that summer is the “slow” month for my mom’s business.
I turned the AC on for about an hour before I went to work in the attic a few weekends ago. I dare say…I wasn’t so upset about helping her out anymore! Eventually I was comfortable enough, and the attic was clean enough, to pull out my old sleepingbag and take a nice siesta..!
