    Our AC is working fine, but since fan unit is in the basement, while basement is freezing, living room was still humid. I bought this unit in May expecting we would have a hot summer and sure enough we had a really hot summer. This unit not only cooled down my living room, but also other connected room alongside with an air circulator. This worked good for the whole summer. Not strong enough for a big house, but works good enough for one room.

    All of the parts were scary before assembly but the instructions broke assembly into manageable pieces and the unit was installed within 24 hours of delivery. It was less overwhelming once pieces redundant to my application could be discarded. I was too precise with the window assembly and made the final fit too difficult. I'll reduce the tolerance by 1/2 inch next spring. The unit performs well even in 90+ degree weather in my space with an overly high ceiling.

    My son loved this. It kept his room pretty cold. I had to return it though because it wasn’t easy to install with jalousie windows. So we looking into other options of what can work with that kind of window.

    This will be our second summer using the portable air conditioner. It has been wonderful having it in my bedroom since I don’t want to cool down the already cool downstairs. We got two, and use both upstairs. I’m buying more sticky foam for around the windows for the second summer as I tore it off my window. My daughter was smarter, she left hers on all year.

    I live in a three story condo with the bedroom on the third floor. No central AC. I had a small window ac prior and it wasn’t strong enough to get the room cold in the summer nights. Purchased this unit about two months ago and now the night sweats are inconceivable. Great buy.
