Cools ok for what it is. It's as loud as any other low-cost unit. No problems there. HOWEVER, I'm in a very humid climate (swampy part of Florida) and must use the upper drain fitting so unit doesn't shut off 3 times a day due to full tank. HERE IS THE PROBLEM- - The thread on the fitting is weird. How hard is it to design it with garden hose thread? Why the odd thread that I can find nothing at the hardware store to seal up to? Why is no accessory or adapter offered? I have several of this style of A/C unit by various brand names all use garden hose thread - the GE one is practically useless if I can't hook up a drain hose that properly seals, so I probably won't buy a GE in the future.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We want to help go over the drain hose requirements for you. The inside diameter is 11/16 (0.70) inches; 17.79 mm. The outside diameter is 15/16 (0.963) inches; 24.47 mm. We're going to pass your comments about the sound level over to our product team to review. That way we can look for improvements we can make for our models going forward.
Great portable AC unit! The wheels make it easy to move around if needed. The manual does not give specific details regarding setup and securing in place, but using a nail or screw is helpful for security in the window.
I am very unhappy with my purchase, First off its very noisy. A very annoying problem is the vent keeps falling out of the window!! Not very helpful to cooling. The thermostat is also off a few degrees. It does not match thermometers in the bedroom. I truly wish I bought a different AC.

Cools a small bedroom efficiently. Uses less energy than the 10 year old (larger model it replaces and is quieter. It has a slight rattle when it runs. We will see if that disappears or gets worse over time. My primary goal was to find a unit that used the lowest amount of energy to reduce the load on the circuit. This was the lowest I could find.
Air-condition worked well for little less than 2 years and then stopped cooling. I am throwing it away.
