I have discovered through anger and frustration that "portable" ducted AC units SUCK as far as efficiency is concerned.
If it only has a single hose, it's really a defective design.
They blow a LOT of air outside through that hose; where does that air COME FROM ???? It's additional hot air sucked in through cracks.
The only worthwhile portable AC unit has TWO hoses.
As for the original question, does this happen when both units are running or just the one ? What condition caused you to opt for a second unit ??
This sounds like the problem I have with most AC/heat units in motel rooms; the spread on the thermostat sucks and can be 6 degrees or more. This is aggravated by having the stat mounted ON the unit where it cools more rapidly than the room does.
