I've had this unit for only 3 weeks now and so far so good. I will try and write another one after a few months. What's good about it is the vents that blow out the cold air are a wide output and plus it has a swivel that blows the air up and down so it makes the air go in all directions and if you don't like that you can just set it on One Direction. All the other units that I looked at only had it blowing up from the top of the AC unit which to me defeats the whole purpose of getting to lower levels of the room where you will be sitting or lying down. The compressor is very quiet and so is the fan. It has a sleep mode that a lot of units do not have and it saves on electricity. The new design of a dual hose unit that is two hoses in one is genius! It comes with an adapter that snaps right in and you can keep the hose straight and not have to twist it. Now everybody complains about the window assembly kit and what a pain in the butt it is but that is like that on any portable AC unit you buy. The plastic screw posts don't push in all the way but just enough for you to push in for it to stop the panels from sliding and I recommend you put those plastic babies on both sides of the sliding panel. You will also need to use tape like clear packing tape or duct tape to the back side of the panel to keep it from loosening or sliding down. I have a Long window height and there was extra extended panels that made it go all the way to the top so that was great. You will notice a tiny bit of some air gaps around the adapter clamps and the hose but it's negligible. When I did research there were only two models out there that were dual hose in hose units, the Midea and the Dreo. They both look very similar except for one important factor is that the Dreo blows cold air from the top and doesn't have a big vent that swivels like the Midea, and I liked it because it was black and modern looking I used to have a white one and it eventually turned an ugly yellow color. The one thing I can say that can use Improvement are that the LED panel is hard to read on the unit itself at night time. It should have had much more backlight and the letters are hard to read and I fear as the unit gets older that the display is going to be harder to see the white letters. Also the remote control back light so you can see the display on the remote control longer is always turning off after just a few seconds and doesn't give you enough time to see the letters or numbers. But I do keep it near my bed on the table so that the AC unit can get the proper temperature of the room from the remote control. I almost always use the Midea app to control the AC unit from my living room so I don't have to get up. This unit has great blowing distance and I can feel the air blowing from all the way across the room and it also cools off my kitchen as well as my living room. I usually keep it on 77 and it quietly goes low when it reaches that temperature and then turns off and then automatically turns on when it needs to and it doesn't make a loud sound when it turns on it's a very nice gradual sound. I haven't gotten my electric bill yet but I am expecting it to be lower than it was with a single hose unit that I had. When you get the unit shipped make sure to have paid for the $10 charge for them to deliver it into your home as it is 72 lb. To open the box cut off the straps and then open the top and take out the attachments and then lift the Box straight up and it will separate the bottom part and you can lift the whole box above and out of the unit. It caught me by surprise because I was wondering how in the world am I going to lift a 72 lb unit all the way up from a tall box. The units specs are excellent it has 12,000 BTU and SACC of 10,000 which is more energy efficient. I also bought the 4-year Asurion protection plan which gives me great piece of mind. I hope this helps you all that are considering this great portable AC unit. And please reply if you have any questions or comments about my review:-)
