Although summers can be very hot here in Western Montana (we have been having a lot of days in the 90's), the nights cool down nicely, so it's pretty comfortable indoors until early afternoon. If we turn it on about noon and leave it on for the rest of our workday, it stays nice and cool.
This unit has a high/low fan without A/C, so we use that in the mornings when the air is still cool outside. Then we switch it over to the A/C around lunchtime. So we only end up running it about 5 hours a day. For climates that have hotter evenings, you may want to stick with the square footage recommendations that come with the unit.
As far as installation goes, we had to improvise a bit. The instructions come with options for both wood and vinyl windows. Our shop windows are vinyl, but the inside wood framing was a little different than the diagram. So really, neither option worked perfectly. But with such a small unit, it was really simple to maneuver it a couple of different ways until we found a good solid way to install it while still keeping the proper angle for drainage of the condensation. We ended up with bigger spaces on the bottom of the side fan things, and the insulating foam they provided wasn't enough. But we had some foam that worked even better, so we used that and the unit is nice and tight.
This unit has been up and running for a couple of weeks now, and so far so good. If any issues arise, I will update my review.
