Kenmore 5,300 BTU Single Room Air Conditioner —
I read that this was loud but didn't think it could possibly be this bad. I was wrong. Maybe it is because my bed is right under the AC but it is just so loud. I cannot watch TV at all without buying headphones so I can hear the TV (turned to the loudest volume).
It cools very good and my room is about 12' X 14' room.
I would recommend it to a friend but to be sure to tell them that it is very loud!
