    Worked great to cool my office during an AC outage. Make sure you can vent the hot exhaust air, otherwise it is counterproductive.

    [Employee of bestbuy] Prepare to pucker when you get that power bill. It does a decent job cooling one room when my ac went out. It ran non stop for about 2 weeks. Power bill was $200 higher.

    It cools well, puts out quite a bit of air doesnt look too bad in the room, but, if you needed this as the only room AC, and you dont have a drain in that room, it is a pain. I live in the south, its humid, and have this in my bonus room, and it only runs, 30 minutes or so before the auto shutoff kicks in because the water reservoir is full. And the drain is so low, i had to put it on blocks to use something besides a cooking sheet, which is what the manual suggests to empty the water. If i needed it to run all night, i would never get any sleep. That being said, i only use it for short periods of time, and hour or 2, and i have a bucket next to the tupperware container, i use now to empty it. So it is adequate for what i need it for.

    Works great. Cools down a room in minutes. I use it in my office when im gaming because the PC will heat up the room to 90⁰+ and this cools it back down very easily. Puts out a TON of water, but just regularly check the pan or whatever yiu use to hold the excess water and youre fine.
