Comment:

Replaced a GE 8,000 BTU model that stopped cooling: a bit noisier, but cools three connected rooms, including a kitchen, quite well. The timer feature is simple to use. CU says that it is difficult to install: I didn't find it so, however, it does not have a slide-out chassis

How long have you owned it:

A month or less

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
