Exactly what is needed for our unbearable hot summers. Our upstairs just couldn't cool enough and we needed something to keep our central unit from working way too hard. We use this in our upstairs playroom and it is perfect! It's easy to regulate the temp and program so it's not running all the time. It is also quite. I love the look but most importantly all the functions. We haven't had to clean the filter yet, but I like that this is a easy cleaning process, so pet hair doesn't build up. I'm excited to see how adding this ac unit will help lower our electric bill!
