Arrived a day before a heat wave of six days in the 90s with 4 record highs. We have a small downstairs of 900 sq. feet and we rely on it to cool the whole area. Now it's 78 at the far end of the house on hot days, but that's OK with us. It's in our bedroom and we don't thins it's noisy as we sleep through the night. The LED temp reading is too bright at night, so I put a couple of the sticky tops of post it notes over the digital read out. We can still read it and the light is low at night. Very satisfied. One thing, The clean the filter light came on after a few weeks - we did, but the light didn't turn off. No biggie, maybe how to turn it off is in the manual, which I might get around to reading. OK if it stays on.
