Pretty simple to install. You have to be careful with the exhaust hose because it wants to fall out, but other than that, it's a fairly quick install. 

It doesn't take very long to start cooling your space, and the temperature controls are great. 

NOTE: it is loud. The fan that I've been using for the last few years has been loud, so it's doable, but it's definitely louder. It will "invade your brain."

I've only had it for a few days, but I've been very comfortable in this CA heatwave.
