I've seen these in hotel rooms before in places like Hawaii where they're mounted on the upper side of a wall and seem to work pretty well. My unit is about 1100sqf, so I'm not sure what kind of power that would require.
Anyone have one of these or used one before? Where do you get them and do they work well? Do you need to get a Carrier or Arpi's to install or can you do this on your own?

I have a portable unit in an open floor plan style ~1000 sq. ft. condo that faces south on the 6th floor. Needless to say, it gets HOT by June and pretty much stays that way anytime the temperature is over 20.
I leave mine in the main/TV area and it cools the area fairly well. Obviously if you situate it like a fan where you can feel the airflow you'll be a happy camper. When it's hot for an extended period of time I just leave it running day and night and it keeps things bearable for sure. I wouldn't say that it effectively cools the entire living space but it's better than nothing.
Definitely worth the couple hundred they cost, though I can't speak about power bills since my condo fee includes electricity.
