This thing is close to tripping most home breakers. Just a few devices on the same circuit and TRIP!
Once it reaches 74F, running it for the next 10h to keep the room at 74F (assuming the unit does not have gaps to the outside and the room door is closed inside) takes <0.5kWh as measured by a kill-a-watt and it mostly takes <1A throughout the night.
Charging a Leaf on the same circuit (12A continuous over 12h) on the same 20A circuit along with a ceiling fan and some eco bulbs did not make it trip.
The portable units are a lot less efficient than the window units but I imagine it'll be fine as long as it is on eco mode if you have other high current devices on the same circuit (like a car charger).
Am I missing anything? This model seems to have a higher BTU rating (12k vs 10k).

I have a Hisense non-inverter portable AC and that would trip a 15A circuit several times a day, with nothing else being used. It is essentially just turning on and off all the time, which will increase the chances of tripping vs inverter-style AC.

Don't plug another large appliance into the same circuit. No different than a microwave or a large vacuum or a fridge.
So if I wanted to run this on a generator, I could only share the extension cord with 1TV, 1 Hotspot, and a half dozen lights or so.
I'm crushed.

According to this chart 14 guage should be sufficient, but if you want the option to power more things, I'd bump up to 12.
