We live in the high desert where the winters are freezing and summers are scorching. This air conditioner has been life changing. We still use it for the fan during the winter, because it’s the perfect humming to fall asleep to. We just detach from the window and put the air tube away. It’s fairly compact for an air conditioning unit so it can go in smaller places like a studio apartment and be moved easily. It is so user friendly and incredibly consistent with air flow and temperature. I absolutely love this AC and will repurchase if this one ever comes across issues. Very grateful.
