We've been running this one for at least 3 years now and it still works great. Just clean the filters and empty the water and it will treat you well. It has a bunch of nice features in the app like scheduling and sleep curve. https://www.homedepot.com/https://www.homedepot.com/pep/Toshiba-8-000-DOE-BTU-Portable-Air-Conditioner-Cools-350-Sq-Ft-with-Dehumidifier-and-Remote-in-White-RAC-PD1213CWRU/314620249?source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&pla&utm_source=google&utm_medium=vantage&utm_campaign=57563&utm_content=59926&mtc=SHOPPING-RM-RMP-GGL-D29A-Multi-NA-TOSHIBA__MIDEA-NA-PMAX-NA-NA-MK714339001-57563-NBR-577-NA-VNT-FY25_Q1_Q4_Midea_D29A_OAM_HOME_COMFORT_SILVER_AON_BAU_Opportunity&cm_mmc=SHOPPING-RM-RMP-GGL-D29A-Multi-NA-TOSHIBA__MIDEA-NA-PMAX-NA-NA-MK714339001-57563-NBR-577-NA-VNT-FY25_Q1_Q4_Midea_D29A_OAM_HOME_COMFORT_SILVER_AON_BAU_Opportunity-22361133803--&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22364828098&gbraid=0AAAAAolLu99UK19OGktz5B7H4kCshlAPV&gclid=CjwKCAjw2vTFBhAuEiwAFaScwmRsFBLH6a0VXnZdA8rPRHtsD_LRH9E8eK8An2wEVj7ADxfJJ8X4shoC4gEQAvD_BwE
I have the Toshiba one of these (Just a rebadged Midea, even the app for it is Midea), barely made it a year... compressor went into a "death worble"
No but I just bought the Toshiba one at home depot and it works marvels
Me and my wife got a Toshiba one that worked amazing when we were down in Oceanside. And even better once we moved to a drier climate. We got it from home depot and it was ~$400. Can't remember the exact model.
I am using a Toshiba and a Midea in the house. Toshiba must be a subsidiary of Midea because the Midea Smart Home app can recognize and control the Toshiba portable unit as well. I use the app to control the units remotely.
I lived on the 4th floor in Irvine without an AC for 4 years. You’ll need a portable AC but make sure you get one thats good. The Toshiba one I had was good and made the bedroom pretty chilly at night. Just make sure to drain it every night because it can be pretty humid in Irvine.
The problem is not the cycling, is that you have a cheap ass AC. Get a solid sturdy surface to place them, no carpet. I suggest Toshiba AC are very nice
