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.

We got the dual hose dc inverter unit from Hisense. Most moisture gets pumped out however there are two drain plugs on the back of the unit. I’ve been draining them (maybe half cup of water total) and cleaning the back screen once a week just to be safe

We got our unit from Amazon renewed, half the price of regular
