I have an open concept home and the air conditioner will cool my kitchen dining room and living room area effortlessly. I love that it has a remote control I actually keep it by the front door so when I walk in I can adjust the temperature. I have yet to download the app to my phone to control it I plan on doing that later on today which I love that feature in case one of those kids lose the remote I can still control it with my phone while sitting on the couch
