The tubes make this almost impossible to be portable. They are extremely cumbersome and hard to store when using or not.  I am sorry I bought it due to how annoying it is to put back together.  If I am being totally fair, I use it to supplement the central air in a large room with a vaulted ceiling. Its easier for me to be annoyed than if I were using it as an only unit. It is super quiet and puts out a decent amount of cool air.  It doesnt blow super hard so moving the air requires a fan in the room. I am just meh about it and really regret it.
