The A/C has to run constantly to cool even a smaller square footage than it claims to be able to cover. We bought it to cool a 20 x 20 space, but even with a pedestal fan can't seem to get the cool air to extend more than 10 feet or so in front of the machine (that's right, unless you're directly in front of it, there's no effect). Even when it reaches the desired temp, the fan kicks on so you're still spending electricity without much cooling. I would definitely return if shipping wasn't so expensive!! Better to spend money on some heavy duty fans and save a bunch!

We got this to upgrade from a smaller unit of the same type. Where we live it's only started to get more hot in the summer months, so our apt never came with air conditioning. We use this to cool the living room area and it does well cooling down the two bedrooms in our unit as well.

This was used ina 100 sq ft attic room. The room is very well insulated and the season was not extremely hot. This would NOT cool the room at all. I ended up buying a 5000 BTU window ac and it works great. SPT is awful. Tried to contact them on several occaisions and no response. Will not buy from them again. Save yourself the money and do not believe their claims. 14000 BTU my bottom!!

The way my apartment is, I could not fit a window unit. But venting this portable unit was very difficult with my weirdly shaped windows. It also just doesn't do a good job of cooling. Maybe I should have gotten more BTUs. I love the dehumidifier aspect, but this model (as opposed to another referenced in the manual) does not drain the water out of a window. I have to drain it into a huge bucket and dump it every morning. I just don't see any other way with my living space.

Worth the money, cools room quickly, a little loud but can't have evertthing

This thing works like a dream. And, it holds up under constant duress.

Great product. Very pleased with the price

Amazing works great during summer heat

Works great, strong but quiet! It definitely cools our living room in 3rd floor apartment approx 700 sq ft room.
