It is not too bright at all and also has a sleep mode that dims the lights even more. So important for sleepers who cannot sleep with light. I feel I need to get a different window kit as my window is low to the ground and has a wide window sill so maybe next year will do that for now tape seals up issues. AC really cools.”

I mentioned the time because the sun is beating on the side of the house, and last year, we couldn’t keep the room below 77° with our other brand of portable AC unit.

One reviewer wrote: “Good cooling, efficient, quiet, no loud noises when it starts, the app control is perfect and don’t really need the remote. Some challenges include installation took a lot longer than expected, plastic materials aren’t the best but take your time, depending on your setup you may want to get a window security bar to keep everything tightly sealed, remote control is not very intuitive frankly useless but app control is very good. Overall highly recommend for the dual hose design, cooling efficiency, and very quiet operation compared to other mobile units I’ve used in the past.”
