Pros: Cools. Not too noisy. In the low to med fan speeds it would probably be okay to run in a bedroom while sleeping. I have tall apartment windows and the exhaust hose bracket was tall enough to cover the whole opening. In the auto mode, it keeps the temperature at 75 +/- 2 degrees, adjusting the fan speed as needed. In manual mode it keeps the temp just about where you set it. Initially I heard the compressor cycle, but got use to it fairly quickly and no longer pay attention to it. You will hear it, cycle on, but it found it was not all that noisy.

Cons: The auto mode is hardwired to 75. It’s a little too warm for my personal tastes. I prefer 73. The vents do not go up and down, just left and right. It has a big foot print. I found that running the unit with the fan at high speed has required draining the water every 2 -3 of hours. In auto mode I don’t think I’ve had to drain the water, at all.

Other Thoughts: After a couple of hours it started making a noise like marbles hitting a fan, shortly after the Water Full Alarm went off. After I drained the water the marble noise went away. The next time the noise occurred, I drained the water immediately (while the A/C was running) and the noise went away just as I started draining the water.

I had problem with another brand unit arriving damaged, mostly due to packing. I found this unit to be packaged very well for shipping. It is a box in a box. Once you remove the straps for the inside box, the box will come up exposing the unit.

I deduct 1/2 egg for having to drain the water while running the fan in the high speed mode. I give it an extra egg for the packing for an overall 5 egg rating.

Pros: Good cooling, fairly quiet. Trouble free! Evaporates condensation out the exhaust.

Cons: Nothing major

Other Thoughts: I bought the Heat pump version which is reversible and can go into a heating mode (newegg stopped selling it). But, its the same unit just without that feature. I live in VA with has high humidity. Even so, I've never had to manually empty the water from this unit.

Pros: This 13K BTU unit replaced an Amcor 12K BTU unit. The Temp dropped at least 5 degrees, or maybe more. It is performing well in our server room.

Cons: Vents can only be directioned left or right, not up or down.

Other Thoughts: This will be my standard now for portable air in server rooms. Like it that much.
