Can anyone recommend a good performing mobile air cooling unit. I paid 280€ for one about 4 years ago and it doesn’t do the job (8000btu) in a small room of < 20m2

Do you close the room's door(s) and window(s) when using the unit?

What a daft question. More importantly is what the ceiling height is as it is the volume of air that is the deciding factor not the area of the room.

Not a daft question unless one intends on trying to cool the garden. Sounds like you're suggesting it's OK to leave the fridge door open ;)

If it’s a mobile unit you need to vent the hot air out and collect the water that it produces. The venting part can be an issue.

Just the opposite. If you close the fridge door why would you not close windows and doors in the room to be cooled.
P.S. I used to design a/c systems albeit a few years ago.

Then maybe you should have mentioned that a room's volume is just one component of its heating/cooling calculations ;)
