We went from a condo that had central air (spoiled) to a home that didn't. I was nervous about the quality of a window unit and being able to cool or whole home. This does the job great! I actually get cold when it's on from time to time. We have it in our dining room which is in a central location in our home and it cools the rooms to the left and right of it really well.
