Your View about Portable AC
I am planning to buy a portable AC for my 3x4 mtr room, as I dont have option for window AC and split is so expensive, also problem to re-locate. Can you please write your view and experience with 1 Ton portable AC, as the showroom guy told me that this is enough for a medium size room, no need any installation, just need an exhaust/drainage pipe out. Is it ok to buy it and will it work for me?
Thanks in advance

too noisy! the exhaust pipe is about 10 inches diameter so you need to make a hole in your wall. Better split AC with only 2 inches hole you need for the pipe.
