This is an awesome portable A/C. It keeps my 14 x 14ft bedroom icy cold and when I leave the bedroom door open, it even keeps the rest of my 972 sq ft house much cooler. I'm sure that if I used it in my kitchen/ living room, that it would easily cool that space like my bedroom, too. I like how compact it is and that it doesn't take up much window space for the venting. This is perfect for my needs and I recommend!
