Measure your window first
I was expecting some small thing that I could easily cart from room to room but it's actually rather large and heavy. it works incredibly well though. I have a small house (under a thousand square feet). I keep it running in the loft and it keeps my whole house perfectly cooled to whatever temp I set it at. even though it's size and weight is much more than I expected, I'm really pleased with my purchase. However, make sure you measure your window first because the sizing bar for the vent was too big for my window even on its smallest setting. I had to custom cut it to make it small enough. my only other comment would be that the set up for the window vent doesn't really sit right in the window (see photo). I ended up just closing the window as much as I could and leaving some exposed space to the screen behind it because it just plain didn't line up and sit nicely when I tried to close the window on it.

What a relief!
This thing works amazingly well. I live on the second floor of an old Victorian and it's been like an oven in here. This air conditioner cools the room quickly and it is such a relief! The air is VERY cool. It is kinda loud, but I don't mind it. I'm just happy to be comfortable finally! It could be a pain to set up as the window part will not fit all windows. There's a 3 inch gap with mine - between my window frame and the plastic, but I have a screen so it's not a problem. But you might have to get creative to make it fit, depending on the size of your window. Overall I think it's a great air conditioner for the price.
