Does anyone have a portable air conditioner?

Question

I just bought a portable air conditioner. It works well for a couple min but then it starts rattling...is it supposed to be doing this?

Answer 1

YEA ME TOO MINE SQUEALS  so hears the tip when you turn it on adjust the flaps to where they are barely open Keeps the thing tight then place your fan next to the air cond. turn your fan kick back on the couch with your feet out full presto living in comfort hope that helps other wise your unit man need to be looked at by someone with a s***w diver

Answer 2

You should hear a little audible noise but it shouldn't be extremely loud.I do know that they create a tremendous amount of condensate water.Pulling all the humidity out of the conditioned space.Good luck.

Answer 3

a new a/c  (hopefully thats what your talking about not used)  should be pretty quiet   are you sure you have it mounted in the window correctly?  if the sound is actually coming from inside the unit pack it up take it back and have them give you a new one

Answer 4

We bought a portable A/C from Costco last summer.

It is in the living room on a wood floor and has never rattled.

Ours has a little tank in the back that fills up with water... actually fills up in less than a day on hot humid days, and has to be emptied or the machine will shut off. Could this be your problem?

Your portable A/C shouldn't make a rattling noise. If you cannot find the problem fairly easily you should contact the seller and ask for a replacement.
