Excellent A/C Unit

This is an excellent A/C unit, does a great job of keeping the room cold and humidity free, most importantly. It also has some great features, such as a remote temp. sensor, air filter cleaning reminder, etc... I read reviews before buying the unit and read a lot of complaining about the unit being loud; I honestly can't tell if the unit is "running" or not. Therefore in my experience that complain is absolutely not true.
I bought this so that I didn't have to cool the whole house all night, works out great. I don't understand the remote (never reads the temp) but I guess thats OK and I don't get why it must start every 10 minutes to recirculate warm air for no reason. BUT I do like it better than the others!
Very happy with this model. I may be asking a bit much of it to cool down, in effect 3 rooms (open floor plan), but it does a decent job of providing relief during these muggy NYC heat waves. Runs a bit on the loud side. Also, the dimensions provided don't seem to take into account the side flaps, so be sure to measure a few extra inches on both sides. I did appreciate the insulation material that came with the unit.
I bought this unit in May 2016 to replace a 17- year old air conditioner. What an amazing difference! The eco setting is terrific> The unit cycles on and off to keep the temperature exactly where you want it. and because it does not run continuously, the electricity use is lower too. It's not too loud when running, and it was easy to install. In fact, I was so happy with this unit that I bought two smaller ones for other rooms in my house.
