I got this one from Costco for my kid and it's great to take a dunk in it. The hot mom that comes with it is not bad either.

Even sitting on a chair with your feet in a cold water foot bath feels amazing.

Dude, is that nail fungus?
LOL, I have really, really, did I mention, really tough toenails. Nobody can trim them, so I went to a podiatrist. He used bone cutters to trim them. I mentioned toenail fungus and judging by his reaction, I think it was basically like, yeah, another one of those flavour of the month, scare the public into paying for treatment things.
BTW, you don't have toenail fungus. I just needed an excuse to talk about my tough toenails, gulolol,

^ Looks decent and on sale but it's got some pretty crappy reviews ... 2.9/5.0. I mean unless you plan to use it for this week and return it  .
Can't tell exactly how the vent system works ... the hose to outside?

I got my inlaws one last year. Its really good.
I think either you get one that works fine, or its dead on arrival.
It has dual hoses so intake and exhaust is separated.

I kind of want to get a small self contained unit for my kitchen.. our main AC doesn't really reach there when I'm cooking
But if they're like $500 that ain't gonna happen lol
I saw one for like $100 but I am very skeptical that it does anything.. It looked like a little dehumidifier, with its own water tank. And I guess that's how they work except they warm the air before blowing it out

i think thats what people call a "swamp cooler" (blowing hot air over cooler water to reduce the air temp). The downside is that it'll add extra humidity in a house.

Badhobz is right, the proper term is "evaporative cooler". It works on the premise that evaporating water removes energy from the air, thereby cooling it.
Drawback, as Badhobz mentioned, is that you're essentially humidifying your house, and after a certain point you've "swamped" your house. It's also very ineffecient if you live in an already humid climate, as less water is able to evaporate.

Yeah it could be that... Sounds pretty shitty.. Right now I stick a fan in the doorway of my kitchen trying to blow some of the cooler air from the living room, but it doesn't help much when you have burners going, etc.
So I've been using the pressure cooker more, where I can do the prep and don't have to be there when it's doing the cooking

Don't believe the negative reviews - the Danby dual unit A/C at Costco is pretty decent for a portable unit.

I'm using one of those $360 RCA ones from Walmart, only rated at 10,000BTU and I can say anything more than the living room area of the condo is its limit (which is accurate to what it said in the description) but it's been great.
I've never owned any other AC unit before, but it has been performing flawlessly so far.

I have that Costco unit. Works great. A friend bought one (and his buddy) and both were making noise from the get go. Exchanged and they are now perfect. Bad batch last year?

I've got the Danby from Costco too. No issues. Also, if you want to use the app to control it remotely, use the Midea Air app. The Danby is a rebadged Midea, and apparently the Danny app sucks ass, but the Midea app works fine.

I bought this one in April from Costco.
It has been amazing. The dual hose is a bit tricky to setup as the accordion style hose doesn't have much bend to it, but I got it setup and connected in my patio sliding door.
I came home last night after my wife had been blasting it at high all evening - our condo was frigid.

-also a user of the Danby A/C units that are sold at Costco.
A friend also bought a DeLonghi A/C unit from Costco this year.
He said that the DeLonghi units work well. -a bit noisier compared to the Danby units though.

My danby from costco wasn't getting as cold as it was last year and a member on redflagdeals told me to empty out the water from the back.. I had no idea. Ever since I did that, it has been performing better.
Make sure you empty out the water every so often, I guess that affects performance.

Unless you live in high humidity, or your humid exhaust is somehow making its way into the intake, you shouldn't be getting too much water, as long as you don't leave the cooling mode in auto. Always leave it in cool only, because on auto it switches between cool and dehumidify.
