Our central AC system must have been designed by a vacuum cause it sucks. We bought this portable AC to mainly keep in our master bedroom to cool it while we sleep and to move it into our sauna of a guest room when we have people staying over. It cools the rooms efficiently and makes them much more comfortable. We got lucky in that the windows in both rooms are the same size, so it’s also really pretty easy to move, making it truly “portable.” 

Also very thankful that the filters are cleanable and that we won’t have an upkeep cost of buying filters.  

I would say, if there’s one concern, it’d be that it’s pretty loud. We’re using it while we sleep, so the extra white noise is actually a welcome plus, but if you were needing it in a room where you’re awake and watching tv or something, you may want to take that into consideration. 

Overall really happy with this purchase!
