Sunsan is not an AC expert, I think. A 2KW machine would at best cool a closet. I think he means HP. 2HP units are more like $600. For a small bedroom, 1HP is fine. They run from $220-$325 new, and about $100 less for second hand, but I recommend avoiding the latter unless you know and really trust the seller. Installation should be $10 + $7 or $8 for brackets plus maybe $5-$10 for wiring and a breaker plus the copper pipe which will cost $7-$8 per meter, so the closer the outside unit is to the inside unit, the cheaper it will be. You can get mattresses for around $100 and cheap bedframes for around the same price, if I remember right. For the washing machine, look to see where you would have to run pipes for the water inlet and a drain to determine where you could put it.
