12K Portable AC
If your window cranks open instead of sliding up (casement), or it slides horizontally rather than vertically, a standard window AC won't fit — the Portable is the answer. The universal vent kit accommodates sliders and awnings as well. Self-evaporating means the condensate gets blown out with the exhaust air rather than collecting in a tray you have to empty.
Highlights
- Built for windows that don't slide up (casement / crank-open)
- Universal venting kit fits sliders and awnings too
- Self-evaporating — no bucket to empty
- Caster wheels — move between bedroom and living room
Will this fit my room?
Add 10% if your room has 9-ft+ ceilings, south/west sun exposure, or kitchen heat load. Subtract 10% if you keep blackout curtains closed.
What it'll cost to run
Based on ConEd’s ~$0.32/kWh residential summer rate and average NYC use patterns. Inverter units track lower; sun-facing rooms track higher.
How loud is it?
Moderate. About background office noise (60 dB)

Maintenance during your rental
Nothing required from you, but two small tasks keep efficiency at spec:
- Rinse or vacuum the front filter every 4–6 weeks (slides out from the front). Takes about 60 seconds.
- If you hear a new rattle or the cooling weakens, text us — we’ll swap the unit at no charge under the warranty pass-through.
