Works great! Cools the whole house at 2000 sq ft. I don’t think it’s too loud. I will say it was more complicated placing this AC then my previous one, so for me it took more time . I’m not savvy in these things, so if you’re like me block out enough time to complete the project ( it took me 2 days few hours each day), take your time,  you will need another set of hands at times and I did purchase a stand also because of the weight. Again for me, complicated but worth the effort.
