Please help. portable AC.?

Question

My new portable air con works brilliantly and has kept me sleeping well at night. . She's a 15000 BTU capacity.  Noise isn't bad with fan speed at no.1 except that it vibrates a little when compressor kicks in and out. Therefore  I googled it and people said it's normal for the motor...that sitting the machine on a blanket would absorb the compressor on/off vibration a little bit..

I removed my sofa large back-rest bit and sat the air con on it so all four castors are not touching the floor anymore. That has muffled the compressor on/off vibration.  I just need a multiple consensus on this. Have you tried this before or heard that before? Won't sitting it on soft material like this squash some on the engine at the bottom?

Simply stand the castors on something a little soft. That'll help stop any vibrations reaching a hard floor and being amplified. You don't need a solid rubber mat, just stand it on a blanket as suggested or something similar. You might try a couple of magazines, for instance. All you want to do is interpose something between the castors and the floor.

My machine in the garage/workshop sits on an old car mat, that keeps it off the concrete and makes it a little quieter.

Hi what you need is a solid rubber mat to sit it on so any air vents are not blocked off.
