Customers praise the ARC-122DS Elite air conditioner's powerful cooling capabilities and relatively easy setup. However, some customers find the unit's noise level to be a drawback, and others have experienced challenges with the window attachment system. The window kit may require modification for proper fit in some windows. Overall, the cooling performance is a significant positive aspect for many users.

No lights or loud fan to keep you up at night. I wish it had a swing feature and it did not build up so much condensation on the top. It cools great.

I was excited to get this unit. I had done some research and it was rated in the top ten. Unfortunately, it takes a lot of time to cool down a medium size room. It is also moderately loud which is a problem because I have it set up in my family room. We have to turn the tv volume up in order to try and drown out the noise. Very disappointed in this product!!!

I’m guilty of being a smoker and never liked the aftermath of the inside smoking habit! This thing is perfect for that situation

There is a lot of work that you have to do to this to make it work correctly. When you finally figure it out it's ok. If you thinking of buying this make sure you buy the drainage pipe. It makes it somewhat easier
