I never understood how those portable units could help.....

Most of the ones I've seen have a flexible duct (think dryer vent)
coming out of the back that you can then use to send the hot air
somewhere else.

And here's me thinking all this time that since fridges and ovens both work on electricity but one keeps things cold and the other keeps things hot and since electricity has a positive and negative that the one that keeps them cold must be using the negative part; and the one that keeps them hot uses the positive part - hence air conditioner units (fixed or portable) use the negative part to keep the room cool.

Acknowledgment to a early edition of Viz (if you're in or from the UK you probably know or have heard about Viz) that had the fridges/ovens negative/positive response to a readers question.
