This works so much better than I thought it would! It clears out the hot air quickly. I have it in the dining room and I turn on a small fan in the bedroom which is around the corner and down a long hallway. My small fan draws the cold air into that room really fast. It’s been especially great for those 80-100 degree days. And it’s surprisingly quiet as well. 

I did put a bit of insulation around the exhaust hose so there is not so much heat in the area between the unit and the window and I think that has made a difference as well. 

Last summer we had several really hot days as well, whereby one couldn’t even get a nearby hotel because there was so much demand to escape the heat. I haven’t seen the power bill yet, but at least I can sleep well and dont have to go to a motel to cool off at night.

Needless to say, I’m very pleased with this product.
