- Portable upright room air conditioner. We currently have a multi story home, so nice to provide extra cool to the upstairs office on a hot day. I know most homes in the Villages are single story, so wondering if it would be nice for the lanai? Leaning "no"
Any feedback is appreciated.

I know this is a little later than most replys. First of all, we had a generator up north because storms would take down trees and disrupt power sometimes for a day or two. Been here 10 yrs. and recall one outage for about an hour when a vehicle hit a utility pole. Lines are underground and even hurricanes don't cause a problem is every area except maybe the original section. Here we don't have attics or basements and your primary storage area is your garage. AVOID TAKING ANYTING THAT YOU'LL PROBABLY NEVER USE. You can't afford the storage spece. My advice is no to the generator and the air conditioner. You'll most likely never need either.
