For some reason, our master suite is the hottest area in our house. We live in Southeast Texas and it's hot most of the year. It's an air conditioner keeps up and isn't as loud as the air conditioner we had in here before price of a large fan. now we just have this air conditioner unit and things are quieter and cooler in our room. The remote control is nice, also. Installing was a little bit tricky, if you're not handy, hopefully you have a friend or relative who is. Getting it level in the window and the insulation bits underneath and above to keep air and bugs out. With curtains and blinds over it, pretty much invisible. We mainly use it at night when in our room, but it blows fine through open blinds if i forget to raise them. We're really pleased!
