I bought this window unit to use in my bedroom, as my apartment is on the 2nd floor AND I do not have central air. This bad boy gets the job done quickly! Not only does it cool down my 400 sq. ft. bedroom in no time, but if I leave my bedroom door open it cools down the rest of my apartment to a tolerable temperature without having to run my much larger window unit a/c concurrently. I live in Kentucky and our humidity hovers between 80-100% in the summer, so this air conditioner is a workhorse! In addition, this is an energy star product and I have not noticed a big spike in my electric bill either. The only drawback is that it is a bit loud, but that’s to be expected. It is RIGHT beside my bed, literally 1 foot away from the edge of my headboard, so if I’m watching TV I’m sure my 1st floor neighbor hates me. Haha! This a/c also comes with a remote control with built in thermostat so you can lay your remote down across the room and the unit will cool the room according to the temperature being sensed by the remote. Or you can be extra and lay in bed 1 ft. away like me and use the remote to change the settings without ever leaving your bed. HA! Pretty cool technology! #winning #adulting

July 21, 2018... current outdoor temp 98...heat index, 113. I bought this to supplement my central ac to help cool off the front of my house which faces the afternoon/evening sun! I currently have the temp set to 70, and it has successfully kept my entire house at a comfy 73 with the help of the central unit which usually reaches 78/79 this time of day during the summer. Installation was a breeze and so far it works as well as I had hoped it would. I recently also purchased the 6k btu for my bedroom and I’m loving it. It too, was super simple to install. I added nylon window screening, cut to fit and attached with adhesive craft magnets to help keep debris out while allowing air to flow freely. (Pic 2). This unit unlike my 6k in my bedroom also came with self stick foam to cover the baffles for better insulation and to keep insects out (Pic 1). I just used 1/2” foam craft board cut to fit to cover my smaller units baffles.

I bought this a/c back in May 2018, and have been using it in my bedroom. I live in a duplex in Louisville, KY that was built in 1929, with no central air, all original [read drafty] windows, and I’m on the 3rd floor. Needless to say it gets very hot and humid in there! This a/c is powerful, puts out a refreshing arctic blast, and could possibly cool off my whole 1100 sq. ft. apartment, although I haven’t tried it (I use an even larger one in the common area). Since this a/c is in a window less than 6 inches from my bed, I will also note that it is particularly loud. If it’s in Eco mode or on automatic temperature vs. constantly running on high, medium, or low, it wakes me up every single time it cycles off and back on. I’m sure this next issue is location specific, however, I only decided to write this review after searching for and failing to find methods to clean black mold from the interior styrofoam. It is definitely growing, and I can both see and smell it! *gags and sneezes* Unfortunately this unit only has a 1 year manufacturer warranty, and I did not purchase the extended warranty. That being said, buy the extended warranty!!! Aside from the black mold *insert nervous laughter* this is a good a/c, and I would recommend it if you don’t need absolute quiet, and want to be cool and not sweaty.
