I bought this due to the ac in my home not working in the dead of the summer. This portable ac work really well in my home office where I spend most of the day. It is loud but I don't mind the background noise. It has the options to set it it to cool, dehumidifier, and fan. You also can set the timer by hours. It comes with a remote that has a display screen on it. it look very sleek and not like a big contraption just sitting in your room. Overall I love this unit. Installation was simple and it will be easy to store away when the weather cools down.
