Best buy of the summer
I have a mid century house with peaked ceilings and no AC. It’s the PNW and I have a lot of trees so I rarely felt like I needed AC until a few years ago when summers got much hotter here. The windows don’t allow for window units so I’ve only ever used those giant free standing AC’s in bedrooms but nothing worked in my more open plan living/dining/entry area until this! It’s not central air but it took the temp in there from 86° to 74° in 30 minutes! It definitely keeps it in the bearable range, which when it’s very hot out, even my closing up of everything all day did not. It’s a solid value for money and seems fairly well made. Longer term, we’ll see but it was durable enough for me to lug it to work without taking it apart when our AC was having issues there.It’s low enough profile to just look like a pillar fan. The hardest thing about it is that because there’s water, you need to clean it regularly. It’s a little finicky to connect the hose to the tank, especially when full of water but not a deal breaker. I don’t care about the remote control. They are just another thing for me to lose so I’ve never used it. Nice if you have mobility issues but not for me. Read more
