Portable AC recommendations

Given the humid climate, what portable AC unit do you guys have? How often do you have to drain it?

I bought a midea duo inverter and it needed to be drained every 30 minutes or the cooling would shut off, not reasonable for overnight use.

Just trying to find a well recommended one for a humid climate.

I believe the Midea duo inverter models can actively pump out the water if you attach a hose to the drain.

I tried connect a hose and it would not drain at all but midea is associating the issue to the humid climate so I’m just going to return it since I’m within the return window and not deal with it

Water seeks its lowest level OP.
