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:
1. 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?
2. Depending on your location there is also a risk of increased noise and pollution from the open window.
3. The hose is also gets a bit dirty.
4. 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.
