it is more powerful then the last unit i had. My issue is with a few things .. unlike my last unit it doesn't hold any water you need the hose which it it does not come with. I was lucky that i could use the hose left from my last unit to continuously drain the water. The exhaust hose is a pain hands down keeps popping off the unit; finally had to duc tape it. Lastly i am not happy with the flammable refrigerant it uses. If i had known prior to setting it all up I would not have kept the unit. But it was heavy and we were in the middle of a heatwave.
