We basically cannot say whether it's safe or unsafe without seeing the entire package...I shouldn't have said it's fine without being there. Nobody can say whether it's actually safe or unsafe. If a breaker or fuse didn't trip, that would be a problem, regardless of how many watt-amps it draws. For all we know, there might be a 10 amp edison fuse protecting the 15 amp circuit.
Feel the cord, if it's warm, don't use it.
Yea, it's the same with my sister. The reason I'm glad to be back here is because of her. The last day I was there, she just started drinking and then screaming at me. She took pictures of my vape stuff and I asked her why. She replied that she was doing a "study" on humans with problems. This is the same person that quit smoking and vaping helped her. But, no, because it's ME now and I'm still vaping, I'm not "good" enough anymore. It was horrible. We had finally started getting along and everything was going pretty good, until that last evening I was there.
How fun!!!!! You'll have a great time.
Yeah. This is my problem. This isn't my house so rooting through their electrical setup isn't really an option. It's basically a "let's try" situation. But I wanted to be as safe as possible.
Hey cd. Sorry about all your medical woes.
That stinks.
The drinking will cause more harm than good in any situation....sorry you had problems, Atcha.Yea, it's the same with my sister. The reason I'm glad to be back here is because of her.

I understand, Stuart.
But, it's a fairly safe bet that somewhere along the line it will trip a breaker rather than spontaneously burst into flames? This is what I'm hoping for.
Wow! And you didn't send him packing right away?
Tell me about it. I like my wine but I'm a happy silly giggly drinker. Anyway, the next time I go to Louisiana I'll be staying at my Uncle Buddy's house. I'll always love Louisiana and may still move there someday, but now I'm not so sure.
Hopefully it trips a breaker. Personally, I would turn the unit on, let it run awhile, feel the cord and outlet, if they are warm to the touch, unplug it.
Geezers that's really scary! Be careful!!
Hope you had a good time, until the downhill-drinking began......
In an old house the point of failure is most often one of the outlets in the circuit. Not necessarily the one that the load is plugged into as they are daisy chained together. Each outlet in rhe circuit adds a point of resistance, the outlet with the highest resistance (corroded wire etc) will generally melt and if not noticed catch fire eventually.
Indeed....they were originally designed for shops-garages, etc...not residential homes. Once the chinese found they may have a new market, the portable house A/C came to fruition.
If it is un-upgraded 40's wiring it is likely 14ga and ungrounded outlets.
I used to work at Lowes and we got lots of those 'portable" AC units returned saying they did not cool the room.
Hoover Vacuum cleaner?......
.. the oldies........
.....were about the size of a small block chevy.....
Xackly.....window units are the gig.....!
Amazingly though their motors were very low amp draw compared to todays vacuums.Hoover Vacuum cleaner?......
Oh it was a GREAT time. Thanks.Hope you had a good time, until the downhill-drinking began......
I didn't eat any crawfish, but it IS great! I don't think I have any pictures. I ate it all before I could take them. heheheheCrawdads is not great food
Ok Live crawdads at 10 paces. We meet at dawn.Down here thems fighting words mister!

They're yummy little buggies. lol
Lazy buns Tom rolled away?
Oh, I get it now, that's the Franco American spelling. Good times, carry on.Roll on, indeed
Nope, fresh Maine Lobster tail smothered in butter is like heaven. And there's something satisfying about the screams they make when you drop 'em in the boiling water. Or maybe I just have a slight sadistic streak.
No a duel we each have a bucket of live crawdads and throw them at each other till one moves from his spot. No helmets, or other protective gear allowed.
Now that does sound fun. I'll be there for sure, as long as the keg doesn't contain PBR.
Yuengling Black & Tan, & I'll be there!Now that does sound fun. I'll be there for sure, as long as the keg doesn't contain PBR.
