Yesterday, here in the US Poconos, it was humid in my home. So instead of suffering I took the cover off my new portable A/C unit , that I thought I wouldn't need any longer this year, and was reminded of how nice this thing is. I upgraded to this 14K BTU unit this season. It does a great job, even with my sky chalet type ceiling. I loved how the listing showed the actual BTU's as opposed to the listed BTU's. I love how the vent swings up and down slowly to circulate the air. I love how quiet it is. I love how the hose is assembled without a screwdriver. and stays put in the back when you need to adjust the unit. I love the extension on the window piece that actually covers my entire vertical window opening. (The window opens horizontally so the opening is longer.) Plus it's not very noisy. I also appreciate this review request was just now sent to me, giving me time to use it and to get to know the pros and cons. Not 2 weeks after I got it where everything is always peachy.
