I wasn't sure what to expect, as I've never had a portable air conditioner before. I thought it would be super loud, but it's surprisingly quiet. I have been running the dehumidifier function quite a bit lately because allergies are miserable around here right now. I like that it gives ice cold air when you are running it on dry mode. The wheels make it super easy to move it wherever I need to, and it's very easy to use. The remote is a nice size, too! I thought it would be one of those super small ones that gets lost easily, but it's not! This machine is definitely worth getting!
