Sadly, not impressed.

It’s blowing cold air which is great, but: 1) it’s extremely loud and makes a nasty rattling noise when the compressor kicks on. I had a comparable portable a decade ago that was so much quieter and kept an area twice the size of my current area cool. For this reason, 2 stars. 2) it can’t cool 350 sq ft. as advertised It’s only cooling about 1/2 of my 358 sq ft living area (2 open concept rooms) after being on all day. 4) extremely heavy to fight to get it out of the box without tipping it. Wish the packaging was a little kinder for small ladies to unpack. So, I am hoping it lasts the summer. I have a gut feeling that will be the extent of its life. They don’t make these units the way they used to.

Waste of time and money.

My husband bought one of these units. In one day, I had to empty the catch basin 5 times and my husband did it another. It was set to 68°, but the room never went below 93°. It will be returned tomorrow.
