I live in a studio apt with a window facing the afternoon sun so I needed an air conditioner badly. This one is perfect! It's a bit smaller in width than ones I've had in the past so it fits in my apt nicely. The other day it was 108 degrees outside and my apt was 84 inside:) on days in the 90's it keeps my apt around 75. It has been a lifesaver for me and I would recommend it to anyone.
