Large unit, but very powerful. Easy to install and operate. The noise level is higher than my previous unit, but it also cools much faster.

So far we've only needed our (master) bedroom to be cold and thats what it does. Our room is smaller than 500 sq ft, (apartment living yaaay. ) Some reviews mentioned that its loud but it's not like what i expected. The black box fan from Walmart is louder than this. It fit vertically in our window. The only eye sore is the hoses but its fine. Id rather be cold with an eyesore than melting with no ac. As for the setup, the boyfriend didnt want to mOvE tHe XbOx

look at my photo, i have 2 of these, the new one from BB is hooked up and working just a good as my first one that is 3 year old and still working great .. it cools my bedroom and can the whole 2nd floor of 4 bedrooms, you need to add a fan to push the cold out of the one bedroom ,, i plan to rotate use of 2 each summer now ,, so as to reduce wear and tear to each to last as long as it can .. here are tips if you look at my photo and read further, i made a stand so the ducts are as short as possible,, for best efficiency ,, tip #2 get 1/4" foam insulation and wrap around the hot exhaust tube with duct tape to hold,, tip#3 i made a wood window mount to screw and silicone the outlet connectors for a solid mount to easily install and remove.. tip#4 -drill a hole in stand for tubing to a pan under it for overflow water , but so far each summer ,, none has dripped out ,, since all condensing water is blown out the exhaust tube. Tip#5 before storing after summer ,, unit backwards to make sure the standing water inside is dumped out easily with the stand ,,

This air conditioner saved my life this summer. It cools the first floor of my house! I give this product a 5 star. Although this was my first purchase at Best Buy and will be the last. They told me the store had the product so I paid for it and went to pick it up for it not to even be at the store and I have to wait over a week to get. I would have returned it but I was told it would take 14 business to get my 500$ back.

Great ac... only 2 issues, the dual hoses are pretty big in diameter, and the blower itself doesn't have much control of where you want the air to flow... other than that, this really cools the place down! Pics showing custom window insert I had made for hoses..
