Central AC went out and it's not a viable alternative at the moment to replace it. I live in USDA growing zone 9b with high 2 digit/low 3 digit temps and am looking to get a portable AC or one of those portable evap coolers. the main room I'm looking to cool is about a little over 350 square feet
Costco has the DeLonghi Pinguino 11,000 BTU, 3-in-1 Portable Room Air Conditioner/ Dehumidifier/ Fan for $299 which looks like it would work. Are these things that noisy, are they a workable short term (3 years?) solution. Would the evap cooler keep the temp reasonable. I'm not looking to get down below 75 or so degrees
Recommendations appreciated
