One of my old jobs was in an exceptionally old building where the aircon routinely failed so we had a couple of those.
They work well. Ime the issues are:
- running the hose out of a window, you need to make a blocking board to fill the gap otherwise hot air comes back in - does that make sense?
- Depending on your location there is also a risk of increased noise and pollution from the open window.
- The hose is also gets a bit dirty.
- It's a bit of a lump from a storage pov.

I have something similar. It's ok.
It's noisy, you'll need noise cancelling headphones and if you want calls a mic that doesn't pick up any background noise. It's also noisy enough to be noticeable downstairs/outside.
Rooms warm back up again fairly quickly if you don't keep it on.
If you don't have a sash window then getting something neat for the exhaust is a bit of a hassle.
It costs a lot to run. Probably a pound an hour or something now.

It's too hot.
What are people with home offices doing? I'm currently running two fans constantly, one to push cooler air into the office, and one to circulate the air within the office to try and get it cooler.
Seriously considering a portable air con unit like one of these though: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Delonghi-PAC-EX100-Portable-Conditioner/dp/B09W32T9DF/
Anyone got something like that? Bad things to say about it (i.e. too damn noisy)?
