I bought this 8000 BTU unit to replace an 18 year old Frigidaire air conditioner which still works. I use it to cool half of my house which is 10x40 and keep the other half comfortable when its hot and humid. So far I have only used it about 5 days but it is so much quieter even when trying to watch a tv 10 ft from it. I have been able to run it on medium speed fan and keep this part of the house very comfortable. I am very pleased with this purchase.
I love the remote control for it and being able to set it with a timer to come on. It has wifi access with a smart phone or Alexa which I do not use.
