Portable units put the whole refrigeration system in the room, so they are louder than window units and more sensitive to the exhaust hose: a long, kinked or sagging hose dumps heat back into the space and cuts performance sharply.
Keep the hose short and as straight as possible, empty the tank or set up the continuous drain per the manual, and wash the filters. Sealed-system faults on a portable are rarely worth repairing, and a technician should say so plainly.
