ACs have filters though? The filters are also replaceable, and sometimes you can get a better grade filter (advertised for people like hayfever sufferers). I would look into it before next summer...

My issue was how my portable AC unit is set up in the window

The solution I have ends up letting air into the room from the outside, which isn't ideal for numerous reasons.

I'll have to see if there's something better that I can use, but so far, this has seemed like the best way.
