Portable air conditioners

Anyone use those portable air conditioners,are they less noisy than a window unit?I was wanting something a lot quieter than a window unit for my HT,do the portable ones still have to have a exhaust out the window? thanks

You need a split system. Sometimes called ductless.

Compressor sits outside, and then the heat exchange unit is connected inside.

Lots of companies make them, for example:

And I've never seen a portable one be quieter than a good window unit. At least the compressor is outside - with a portable the compressor is inside.

You can get a small one for < $1000

Thanks,the only reason I want something different than a window unit is because of the noise level!

A split AC unit should be really quiet, I worked around a Sanyo AC and I was assumed it was so quiet.
