where to buy cheap portable a/c??
 

the heat is killing me... everyday wake up in a pool of my own sweat

anyone know where to buy cheap portable a/c beside future shop and best buy?? i want to compare prices...

Costco I believe has a cheaper one,
Try craigslist, I bought mine used last year for $200 it's a toyotomi and it's excellent, bought a 2nd one today at future shop for $450 before taxes, and its 12000 btu so good enough for a decent sized room.

I've been looking today most places are sold out. Went to Sears and it was a fricken gong show.

remember, you get what you pay for...i had to learn that the hard way when buying an A/C

got 2 portable a/c units from london drugs,

Simplicity 12000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner $599.99 each

when to downtown location and sold out.. drove all the way to richmond and got me 2 and had 1 left.....so ........ good luck!

+1.

I would actually pay a little extra and get a mid end unit instead of a cheap one.

also apparently you should wait about 4 hours if you bring it home in ur car sideways (not right side up) something about the freon

I'm happy with my haier one I just bought at future shop today, Extended warranty was like $40 or $10 a year so i was like y not? XD
Probably fucked myself over there..

Fuck, I saw AC units everywhere last week. Now that I want one, lots of stores are sold out...

On a related note, i'm looking to get some window fans ( the ones that can be intake or exhaust ?? ) to set up some good circulation. Any idea if these would be in stock and which one to look for? TIA!

For the portable ones, do you just stick the exhaust hoses out the window?

i picked up my 12000BTU unit from Futureshop 4 months ago, when there was alot to choose from and the price was $399. I saw a few weeks ago the same model was $699 at FS hehe.

DAMNIT I WAS JUST thinkin of buying one i cant stand this anymore, are there sales near the end of summer for ac? damnit i guess i have to sit in the car now

I have a window ac but my basement suite is ok. I wanna get a portable one. Anyone wanna buy my window one? I've only had it for 2 years. Bought it for $350.

burnaby home depot had some last week... doubtful there is any left now though :(

LOL at my wife telling me to throw our perfectly good A/C unit in the spring because it was taking up space in the garage.

I bought mine from Restore a few years ago for $100. Maybe u can check for some good 2nd hand ones.

Yes, you do.

Went to Costco today in bby.....all sold out :(. Looks like another sleep-less night due to the heat

Temp's are suppose to drop by the weekend so it'll be back to fans soon enough.

Most of the decent ones come with a panel so that no outside air comes in :)

the price is ok i guess cuz at this point of time beggers cant be chosers rite? but are they noisy dou?? i heard duo tube is better than single tube anyone can confirm??i know a lot of places sold out alrdy i have been mall ratting past 3 days just for the a/c... this keeps up i have to sleep inside car with a/c full blast lol

Lots of women in this thread

Hmm both of mine are dual tube, but i just chose to use one tube XD, shouldn't matter for the intake neways, You can definitely hear them think idling civic from the outside volume level? lol, they're not so loud u can't talk over it though it's okay depends how big ur place is

Yessss! :thumbsup:

Yup but some panels need to be modified depending on your window size and dimensions.
