Portable units must exhaust hot air outside, and performance falls sharply with a long, kinked or uninsulated hose. Keeping the hose short and straight is the single biggest improvement most owners can make.
A full-tank alert means condensate is not draining. Switch the unit off before emptying the tank or fitting a drain hose, and never tilt a portable unit while it holds water. A short delay before the compressor restarts is normal protection, not a fault.
