    It does the job really well actually. I was pleasantly surprised I must say. I think I'd still choose a window unit but you can't go wrong here.

    Well designed unit that is easy to set up and relatively quiet. Best feature is the option to have constant fan or have it shut off when the room is cool enough. Means AC will only run when it’s needed, great energy saver.

    Does not cool effectively

    This unit is rated for 250 square feet, which is exactly the size of the room I'm using it in. After many hours of operation at the highest fan and cooling levels, this unit only manages to chip away at a few degrees. Literally. It took my room from 82 F to 77 F, and then no matter how long you let this thing run, it never gets any cooler in the room. It just sucks up electricity at the highest setting, just barely maintaining 77 degrees. The air that comes out of this thing doesn't even feel cold. It's like, "kind of cool," but nothing like what a real air conditioner feels like. I tried putting the until on "auto" and it cycled down to low fan speed, and the room started getting HOTTER. It's pretty terrible and largely useless. And of course it wasn't hot enough for me to try using until after the return period expired, so now I'm stuck with this energy devouring monster of an air conditioner.

    It works good, but is a little loud. I wish the AC or fan was constant and didn't stop when the room reaches the desired temp. I like the white noise.

    Easy to set up. Really cools the room. I have had other units before and what i appreciate about this one is the moving fan that pushes the air in different directions.
