I live in San Jose, California and we tend to have a few periods of warm weather (90 degrees and above). I purchased this unit to replace the other AC I had in my living room/kitchen area. This AC is put together very well (I'm girl challenged when it comes to DIY projects). In the past I had AC's where the hoses didn't fit right and here comes the duct tape. This one I didn't need to use any duct tape! Everything fit it perfectly, you can tug and pull on the hoses and their not coming out of their socket. My window size is larger than normal so I had to purchase the extended window kit, which I found on Amazon. The AC has a nice sleek look, kinda looks like a computer server :)
I
turned the AC on and it was a breath of fresh air. Within 40 minutes my whole
living room and kitchen were cool, at about 74 degrees when it was about 85
degrees outside. Amazing! My other AC unit would only slightly cool the living
room and the heat/exhaust coming from the back end of the unit would sometimes
interfere with the cooling capabilities of the machine. Not this one! The back
side of it isn't extremely hot to the touch and same with the hoses, meaning the
machine is running very efficiently. I even had the oven on and it didn't phase
this machine. I actually had to turn it the fan lower because I started to get
cold.
Others mentioned that it is noisy. I didn't notice the sound too
much, but then again the sound of a fan is soothing to me.
The
manufacturer did a fantastic job of packaging this machine and UPS did a great
job of ensuring the product got safely to my house. The unit is heavy, but it
has wheels and glides easily around my hardwood floors. I'm a very happy
customer! I would definitely recommend this AC to anyone.
