I have had this air conditioner for 2 years and love it. I love the dehumidifier function and it works very well. When the cup gets full it reminds you by beeping and stopping the air conditioner/humidifier function. I empty it every evening which helps a lot because we have a lot of moisture in our room. The air conditioner cools well and has a fan function that sweeps (or oscillates) back and forth in the room moving it around instead of directing it to one area. The air conditioner is quieter than window units but it does take up more room. It is easy to move and store for the winter. I would highly recommend this unit to anyone - it is a great value at this price and lasts a long time!
