The AC unit is sleek and attractive. It fit into the window easily. It takes up about as much space as a living room chair. It requires both a grounded wall outlet within 4 12’ from the back of the unit and a nearby window for the hose to vent out of. It cools the room well. It is noisy when the cooling mode kicks in. That can be annoying but it doesn’t last long. Its 34C outside and it’s a comfortable 24C inside. A window AC was not an option for my apartment so the indoor portable Danby unit was a good alternative. I have not had to drain it yet and the instructions to do so are vague.
