I bought this unit a few months ago.  I only had to use it a few times so far this season.  I live in Connecticut and the summer hasn't become hot and humid yet.  However, the few times I have used it, I like it.  It cools down the small bedroom where it is located.  It is every easy to install.  My only issue with the unit is that it is loud (even on low setting).  If you are using the fan, it is not as loud, but when using the AC function, it is loud (again even at the low setting).  I read reviews in the past of people's good and bad stories so I am curious to see down the road how my review will change.
