As long as you follow the instructions on the size of the room to btu necessary than you won’t have any issues with it being cold. As for all units the weight of it leaves the unit sinking into the carpet and being a headache to move around at 60lbs. The cleaning is as simple as vacuuming and wiping the unit down. All in all I’ve had 2 of the units for about 5 months and was definitely pleased during the summer. However it is a bit of a noticeably noisy unit so if you’re recording turn it off first.
