I bought this because my apt doesn't allow for traditional window units, so I researched all of the portable AC options and found this one to be the best deal with the best reviews. It seems the reviews I read are correct because ever since I bought it I've had very few issues. It's very sleek and powerful for the most part. Sometimes when it's really hot during the day it doesn't work as well as it does at night, but I'm dealing with LA heat in the dead of summer. Overall I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a portable AC.
