Always buy a dual-hose model over a single-hose model; single-hose units pull hot air from outside into the house, defeating their purpose. Pay attention to the 'SACC' BTU rating, not the older ASHRAE rating. Available from $399.
Portable ACs are highly inefficient compared to window units, leading to high electricity bills. The only minor maintenance is cleaning the dust filter and occasionally replacing window seals.
