Unlike a fixed air conditioner, a portable air conditioner is easy to move from one room to another, so you can always cool the space you're in at that moment. When choosing one, make sure the portable air conditioner has enough cooling capacity for the rooms where you want to use it. The larger the room, the higher the BTU rating needs to be to keep the space efficiently cool. For an average bedroom or living room, a portable air conditioner with 9,000 to 12,000 BTU is usually sufficient. If you're using the air conditioner in the bedroom or while working, it's also worth looking for a night or sleep mode. In addition, features such as a built-in thermostat, different fan settings, and a timer provide extra comfort and ease of use.
