Since it arrived, it's been cool in LA.
The cord is short! and they recommend AGAINST an extension cord. So judge this first before purchase.
It was a chore to get it out of its two boxes, but out it came finally and it looks good.
I have sliding doors, so I still need to get a piece of plexi glass cut to make up the difference.
I have high hopes for this - and glad I went all the way to buy the anti-microbial filter.
This unit looks better to my eye than the slightly lesser one which lacks the anti-microbial - but at Whynter they said you could insert an anti microbial filter into the lesser one.

The hoses could be designed better so that they are further apart but beside that this is pretty nice.

First experience with a free standing AC

First off there was some confusion about the delivery. No tracking information was provided but eventually the product did arrive.
I am using this AC to cool an area of about 400 sq ft. It is a 14,000 BTU unit rated to cool up to 500 sq ft. I have to say it does not operate like a window unit. It takes a long time to cool down the area. I had to set the temperature at 64 degrees to make the room comfortable. Once it runs for several hours the room is cool and comfortable, but not quite as cool as a window unit would be.
Only If you have no way of putting in a wall or window unit I would recommend this product.

Cools down room real fast. Love the remote. This is the second one I bought. I purchased the first one from Home Depot. Had to get another one for the bedroom. Also for me it helped with my electric bill.

We have this unit for four years and it is one of the best A/C 's we ever had. You don't have to put it in the window and worry about it if you go away. Just open the window and put in the hose.

We are using this to cool an area of about 600sqft and the fact that it has dedicated intake and exhaust vents helps prevent the usual low pressure issue that many portable A/C units suffer from. It is also much quieter than running a box fan.

Cools better than any portable, while working quieter than any. The only con is the unsightly double window intake/I take tubes, but better that then deal with humidity bucket.
