Hmmm.. I was kinda wondering about that... I might be trying out Costco's great return policy if it's not up to the job. Luckily it's extremely dry here in the Salt Lake Valley. Many homes use evaporative "swamp coolers" as their sole source of cool air in the summer.. it's *that* dry here. The other advantage is that refrigerated air conditioners also are more efficient.
I've seen a couple of heat pump type units that start at about 800 bucks. It might be worth the investment, since a heat pump can do both cool and warm air.
Ah well, I'll try out the cheap-o and see if it works. It'll be here tomorrow.
