I do. It's an Amcor thing from Amazon. 7,000 BTU, does the trick for one or two rooms. Cost about £3-6 quid per day to run last year, depending how long it was on for. It's quite loud.
There are some room size calculators that'll do it for you, but I just Googled and took a stab in the dark. Smart meter. I should probably mention I WFH too, so when it's on it's generally on for a while.
We bought ours 2-3 years ago, it's rather big, the brand is AMCOR and I like it. It's a bit noisy but I find they all are. The pipe that goes out the window has withstood quite a bit of battering and it's doing great! Oh also, it also has a dehumidifier setting and a fan setting. I used the dehumidifier setting in our old flat a fair bit It's about £250
We have an electriQ AirFlex 14000 - specifically because it has a pipe you can connect to the front \[as well as the regular one that goes out of the window\] so we can send the airflow out to another room rather than have to move the whole unit. We're also on the top floor \[well, top three floors, it's an odd split with the font & back at different levels\] but the pipe lets us pump air down to the living room in the evening as well as our workrooms & bedroom at other times. Previously we've had a couple of Amcor units - OK, but not as good as this one. General advice - get as many BTUs as you can possibly afford. It's never quite enough. electriQ now do a 1600 I've done a filtered search on this site, which is where we got ours from.
