This item is used in my dining room and also extends to my living room. It effectively cools the house quickly, so I don't have to run it for a long time before feeling its effects. It doesn't reach the kitchen, but that's fine because there's a closed door between the dining room and the kitchen. It's not loud, but it can be noticeable when on a phone call and sitting close to it. However, it's not bothersome if I'm not sitting right next to it.

The installation process was simple and it's not too loud. I appreciate being able to turn it on with my phone and the eco mode is effective.
