Stand Alone Air Conditioner

I have a 2 bedroom apartment and did not look (HQ only need 2 mos. Every year). From your experience, could you please suggest a good stand alone air conditioner?

I lived most of my life in Texas but recently moved to ND for almost 2 years ago (I'm wondering why do still trying to understand why) anyway, so that we get our house built we were tenants of a house that had no central air, not many homes here have not actually. And we went out and bought a 12,000 BTU Sunpentown Portable Air Conditioner and it worked great on our lower level. When buying an AC unit you need to go through the BTU size.

5,000-5,200 BTUs is suitable for 100-150 Square feet Rooms
6,000-8,000 BTUs is suitable for 151-350 square foot rooms
10,000-12,000 BTUs is suitable for 351-550 square foot rooms
15,000 BTUs is suitable for 551-700 square foot rooms
18,000 BTUs is suitable for 701-1,000 Square Rooms foot
24,000 BTUs is suitable for 1,001-1,500 Square feet Rooms

However, we need to put the fans outside the doors if we wanted to blow some cold air in the rooms that were not directly in the path of air outlet. The one we bought was on sale for males as 400 but as I said it worked great. You can also get the window to look MUCH cheaper (in fact, you may be able to get 2 or more depending on the square footage of your rooms for the price of self contained portable unit) . Maybe you should look into them, they sit in windows and not much I doubt your apartment complex would have issue with him.
