    The portable air con has been running for 12 hours now. Stats are still pending, I anticipate 15-20kWh of usage yesterday

    Current indoor temp is 25° and slightly stuffy. Outdoor temp is 28°

    E: 22kWh. 12 hours of usage. Almost 2kW/h

      not horrendous. If its kept inside under 30 its worth it. The more you can seal things up the better it’ll be.

        I turned it on when it peaked at 30.7, for about 5 hours it could only get it down to (and keep it at) about 28, then it very slowly brought it down to 23 which it hit at midnight when I turned it off

        Taking my base load out of the equation, it cost me about 7 bucks

      Make sure you isolate it to one room (we did bedroom) and shut the door to limit the work it does
