To All those who asked for more info on the small a/c unit, Toyotomi TID-1200 I purchased mine at: Yaohan Best (a Japanese grocery store in San Diego) The price in 1993 was $550 & tax. I called them and they only carry the larger TID-1800. But I digress, The TID-1200 is a 4000 BTU, 400W (very efficient), small (W 10.5in. X D 14in X H 26in), weight 43lbs, Quiet, freestanding a/c unit. This unit uses an exhaust hose which I stick out whichever window is convenient at the time, depending on if I'm parked or driving. I called the place that distributes them in L.A., Shilac Ent., Phone# 310-791-2855. They said no one carries the 1200 anymore but you can order one direct from them by calling. She said the price is now $639. I assume that would be plus shipping. If anyone's interested, my girlfriend purchased the larger TID-1800 at the same time. It's 7200btu, uses 840W but it's a bit much for what I had in mind. Both have never given a lick of trouble.
