Some renters may not be allowed to have a window AC, what to speak of one in each room. Either way a portable air conditioner has the advantage of being much easier to setup, remove and transport. Plus it can be easily moved from one room to another unlike a window AC which weighs a ton and can break your back lifting. Portable air conditioners are made with handles and caster wheels for easy moving around from room to room.

Most units are very light weight enough for most people to pick up, move around, put in the car when on the go or store away (when storing the unit it is recommended to box it up to keep it free from dust). Their mobility is only limited by where there’s a power outlet and window to setup the vent. The only other exception to easy mobility is on thick shag carpets. This type of carpet can make it a little difficult to easily move around on the wheels, especially for elder folks.
