Has anyone had any success with one of those portable 8k or 12k AC units like I have seen at Lowes and Home Depot to help out a little or is it more trouble than its worth?

To answer your original question which has evaded most of the posters in this thread.
I had good results with a 13.5kbtu portable AC unit. It draws 6 amps under use and I run it via a 12ga extension cord plug into a 20amp circuit on our generator ( We are South Texas Gate Guards) I made sure to buy one that did not require the manual removal of condensation --more $$. I ended up running the exhaust hose vertically through an overhead vent.
I had BETTER luck-- and cheaper too-- with buying a small window unit and fabricating a wood bracket to fit it in the window. It is much quieter and takes up zero floor space.
Been there and done that with both types of AC-- the rest of the posts here are just noise. Of course we have reflective barriers over our windows and skylights-- FWIW , Infrastop beats the pants off of Reflectix.
THE OP wanted to know about portable AC units== not covering his windows.
