However, I thought this would be a nice purchase for myself for my birthday. After you open the Amazon box beware....So my daughter and I carried this upstairs and I started to cut the tape off the top but the bottom of the a/c box came off...it was planned that way. Big problem here is that the ADAPTER that you need is in the top of the box. I searched all over where we unpacked and finally called the company and asked them.
Wasn't the first time they had been asked for an adaptor. My only other problem with setting up this unit was you MUST pull the hose out to the very very end before you start threading, which is only 2 large threads. It just took some time matching up, the guy at the company told me that yes it was just 2 threads and that I wasn't the first to ask that question either.
All in all even with the phone call I had the unit together and plugged in and cooling in about 10 minutes. It does sit out in the room a bit more that I thought it would. Not much louder than a window fan on high but working on the phone all day I will still be able to do hear. Between 4-7 every afternoon in the summer the sun beats thru my office window.
I use the black out curtains and the fan and I survived. But I started the AC at 430p and it is now 521p and with the black out curtains and the temp set at 72 the entire upstairs feels great. The dogs won't leave. :) It will be interesting to see what my electric bill does but this will cut down on running 2 window fans and 3 ceilings fans upstairs almost 24/7 during the summer.
