@gadgetoid I've suggested the #EcoWave2 to 3 friends so far SOLELY based on your review and their specific use-case. (they can't afford to be Florida-level-hot during a power blackout)
I'll let you know how they like 'em!

@jann @gadgetoid Why something like that instead of a window unit?
@LouisIngenthron @gadgetoid It runs (with external battery) about $1400. BUT that is nothing when you consider it will run 4-8 hours on its battery if power goes out. They cost ~$1200 w/o battery...but they are not window mounted, are very small, portable, and made by a trustworthy company.
They also claim to cool from 86 degrees to 68 degrees in 5 minutes (on max). And they function as a heater as well. They also have an evap drain system to prevent the need for a host to drain them.
