I can run it in my bedroom consistantly in the hot days of the summer and it barely changes our power bill at all. The one that I purchased also had a remote control which is a great feature if you get cold in the night. As always Kenmore makes resilient products for wonderful prices.</p>...

It was towards the end of the summer and other Home improvement stores were only selling the combo units of heating and air. This model was easy to install (this being our first we were very surprised). It cooled off the main bedroom and then we used fans in a relay form down the hallway to cool off the rest of the house.  Surprisingly it did work to make the rest of the house bearable without taking away much of the coolness from the main bedroom it was in.</p> <p>I watched several videos on how to install a window air unit and took several ideas from each of them.  There was too much light coming in from the plastic/vinyl side panels so we went to Ace and found some foil tape and reflective foil insulation.  It helps keep the cold air in and the heat out. We were told in winter it would also be good to help keep the room warmer so we figured it was a win win situation. It may not look the prettiest but...</p>...

I definitely recommend it over other brands like Haier, since they've put in automatic settings that make the air conditioner not cool when it is below 50 outside. I hate that...just because it is cool outside doesn't mean it is cool inside. I am also a fan of Kenmore products. My parents always bought Kenmore from the time I was very young, and they still buy them now. They are durable, well made, and work excellently. I've not found another brand that is better. This air conditioner is in a standard sized bedroom and cools that room perfectly. I like cool all the time, and it does just that. It is also not louder than any other brands I've purchased either...in fact it is quieter than most other brands. Bottom line: It is a great price, works perfectly, gives me icy cool air when I want it, and has a name I've counted on for years that hasn't let me down....

I've had mine for about a month and I'm going to get 3 more instead of a 15,000BTU unit for 5 times as much. As far as durability I don't know yet, but the compressor is made by LG (you can see their logo on the sticker if you look through the vents) and they are highly rated for quality/durability. Yes, it does make noise. I don't have a problem with it. It's not as loud as some other reviewers make it out to be (they make it seem like it's as loud as a jet engine). If you need a really quiet unit look elsewhere, otherwise I'd say go for it. Oh, and when I looked at in in the store, it was side-by-side with the other 5000BTU/99USD unit (the Frigidaire). The Frigidaire fan was noisier and moved less air.</p>...

This was just the ticket, and a great bargain too. The only thing I found exasperating was the directions. They're sparse and need to be carefully read more than once. There are no explanations about the expandable side curtains. There's no explanation on how to put the evaporation drain pipe into the unit frame. It merely says be sure to insert it; not there is a rubber washer on part so you must exert a good deal of pressure on the drain pipe while screwing it into the base pan bottom. Otherwise, the unit is just right for my use. Too early to tell about motor or condenser noise, but since I don't sleep in the room, no problem. So far, I'm pleased. Even if it only lasts for the summer and fall, it's inexpensive enough to replace it, plus there's awlays the warranty (1 year). Meanwhile, I'm cool in my "computer room".</p>...

This one also doesn't seem to be as loud as some other reviewers' (especially compared to the radiators in my building during the winter), and I haven't experienced any weird superfluous sounds yet, so... bonus. ...</p>...

Was able to install by myself, never installed a unit before, in about 20min or so. Not nearly as noisy as I expected. Just a steady noise, can easily drown it out in less than 5 minutes. Says it's only really good for 100sqft. My room is 138sqft, cools within 20min, including the hallway and bathroom. Bought another for the living room after liking so much. It also reaches the kitchen. Incredibly easy to use, very lightweight, so I'm not worried about it falling or tilting. Definitely good for the money. I would recommend this to anyone,<strong> especially college students</strong> staying on campuses over the summer. Comes with everything you'll need to install, the cord is also very long, didn't need an extension cord. Only thing i would like differently is I wish the air pushed more ouward instead of angled up. But that's just because i have curtains and the Air gets trapped. (haven't done anything to keep the curtains...</p>...

My bedroom is on the west side of my old  ( meaning little to no insulation) apartment and it catches the sun from noon until sunset. I live in West Texas and we have very, very hot summers. I would go to bed some nights and my bedroom would be 80 degrees and I cannot sleep in heat. By putting this little unit in my bedroom, the temp is now around 70 degrees at night, without turning the big unit down to 60.</p> <p>I do want to warn you that it is a little harder to install than it looks. It didn't quite fit my window, but a little duct tape and some heavy duty plastic fixed that.</p> <p>It is not noisy and it only takes a short time to cool the room down, so I do not have to run it all day. I only use it at night and on days I am working in the room. It was well worth it for me.</p>...

It claims that it is powerful which is true.</p> <p>But its in a bad way when it comes to sleeping. When you have it set to fan only low speed this thing is louder than my table fan on high!!! It is impossible to sleep through. I'm talking about wearing earplugs and earmuffs at same time and I can barely do it. Without earplugs it is just absoulutely impossible to sleep through.</p> <p>Yes most airconditioners make noise. But they usually make nice smoothing noise that you can sleep in. This one makes this awful hirling noise that is constant and never goes away even in the fan only mode. Then once you put it on cool and the compressor kicks in it is so loud and terrible I can't even beilieve there aloud to sell this. But yeah I'm guessing because they claim it to be Powerful not Quiet.</p> <p>Like I was outside listening to my neihbors there was loud but it was nice and soothing. The Kenmore...</p>...

It does cool the room but it's not ice cold like the bigger unit but that's to be expected. It keeps the room cool enough that the stifling southern heat and humidity is tolerable. For the money, it's worth it. If you have a room bigger than the average size bathroom, I'd spring for a larger unit cuz this one won't cool it properly.</p>...

We used it in the window as it was light weight and easy to install or remove in minutes. It ran easily with our generator and was a lot less expensive than the ceiling heat/air units for trailers. Kept us cool on hot days and nights for about 4 weekend trips.</p>...
