Some friends gave us a freestanding air conditioner they were no longer using,
figuring we could make occasional use of a portable unit since there is no AC in
most of our usually cool house (portable is theoretical in this case, as it
weighs as much as a window unit, but has wheels). So this thing has an adaptor
for the window to draw fresh air, and one of the lights on the front panel was
to warn that the water needs emptying, so I figured it had some sort of internal
reservoir to collect condensation. Amid the recent heat wave we decided to give
this thing a try, and while it could not cool our entire downstairs (there
was no way to just close it off in the living room), it helped a bit, so we ran
it a couple of times. Last night MrsBlue noticed a puddle of water on the floor,
demonstrating that the assumption it was collecting internally was incorrect
(not to mention that this theory that should have been tested better,
considering the outcome). Sadly this already seems to have been enough to cause
a slight of warping of the wood floor where it was standing, which is not a
prominent spot, but a bummer nonetheless.
