They're all pretty much the same, there's virtually no difference at all
between the small rotary compressors they use, and they're all about the
same efficiency (not very) due to mandated standards. Buy one that has the
features and cosmetic design you like.

I've had a Sunpentown 13000 BTU unit for 3 years. It's
very effective, efficient, and the condensate goes out
with the air exhaust. I installed a dryer vent through
the wall to regain the full use of my window. It keeps
the computer room cool and doesn't cost a lot to run.

Ordering over the Internet, including shipping, was
comparable in price to buying a 9000 btu unit with a much
lower efficiency rating locally.

The quality of this unit really surprised me.

I use a portable split A/C. If you pay more, you can get portable split
A/C with an aggregate installed in an external unit. As far as I can
remember the external unit can not be put outside the house as it is
raining, otherwise it can be put outside. I put the external unit in a
small room with open window and additionally put a fan in that room
directed to the window to blow hot air outside.

Interesting.
Link/dealer?

The refrigerant goes thru flexible lines, I gather?

Well, I cannot find a link now but remember the price, it was about 2000
USD for brand new one. There is a small rectangular flexible cable
connecting units. In mine, the cable dimension is 2 x 4 centimetres and
length about 2 metres. I put it through a tiny hole at the bottom of the
door in the corner. The hole is hardly visible.
