At my old place, I had a 20,000 btu window air conditioner unit. It was powerful enough to cool off my entire 1000 square foot house.
Now I live in a place where window units are not allowed (or safe to use). I am looking to buy a portable AC unit. It stands on the floor, and there's a hose that goes out the window. I will put plexiglass in next to the hose.
My question is this: The most powerful portable AC unit is only 14,000 btus. If put in the living room window, will it be powerful enough to cool the entire 941 sq ft apartment, or will I need separate units for the bedrooms as well?
I live in a semi-humid region. My house seems to average 70% humidity, and our summer days are 80-90 degrees on average.
I was looking at this unit in particular. It seemed pretty good, but I know nothing about air conditioners. Will I need to buy extra units for other rooms, or will it do the job for the whole house?

Could you maybe recommend a brand and model that you use, that has served you well?
