neat freak, trying to stay cool, Mr. Fix-it
I bought one of these for my hobby room which is behind my garage and only about 145 square feet in size. This unit works very well and will keep it as cool as you like as long as the room is not huge. I live in the hot south and it does fine for me. The noise level does not appear any louder than other units like this and maybe even a little bit better. I also bought this with the idea that it could be used in the event that my central cooling unit ever goes out, would cool a living room just fine in an emergency cooling failure. I reccomend.
