    Keeps the room cold just fine. Doesnt take too much space. A little noisy, as you would assume. Still, good value for money.

    Easy to install though a little heavy I managed to carry it up two flights of stairs myself and install it! If you are like me and have to have everything freezing to sleep this is the best purchase you’ll ever make! I can set it all the way down to 62° and sleep amazing with no sweating ( even with 3 dogs and my husband in the bed )

It's amazing that you can enjoy a cool and quiet sleeping environment without any sweating, even with your furry friends and loved ones snuggled up in bed. We're proud to have designed a product that can help you get a good night's sleep, and we're glad you're loving the results.
