Are portable AC units worth it? My verdict after testing one during a heat wave
Briefly

Parts of the US are currently experiencing extreme heat conditions with temperatures exceeding 100 degrees and high humidity levels. Many air conditioning systems are under strain, leading to service shortages. The EcoFlow Wave 3 portable air conditioning unit provides an effective solution, featuring various modes for different needs and connectivity options. In tests, it efficiently reduced temperatures by almost 20 degrees in insulated spaces, maintaining settings as long as it was powered. The unit's battery life allows for a few hours of use when on maximum mode.
One of the two overworked air conditioner units left us hanging during the latest heat wave. HVAC repair companies are swamped with service requests.
The Wave 3 is an upgrade from its predecessor, featuring Auto, Dehumidify, Sleep, and Pet modes, and uses Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for smartphone connectivity.
