Review on De'Longhi PACAN120EW 3-in-1 Portable Air Conditioner with Dehumidifier & Fan: Arctic Cool Quiet Mode, Remote Control & Wheels - Ideal for Large Rooms, 450 sq. ft, White by Lisa Perez

I live in Olympia, WA and bought this air conditioner for my bedroom 3 years ago. I have a large bedroom with cathedral ceilings, so I was a little worried about how many cubic feet it actually was, but this worked great for me, even on days with temperatures near 100 and humidity over 90%. Personally, I've found that simply running the dehumidifier keeps me cool enough to be happy most of the time. I also used the AC function and liked it too, but ended up getting too cold with it. I got this because the windows in the apartment I live in open sideways and don't open very wide so I wasn't sure a window unit would fit. I also like that I can just take this out of the window and just leave the window open for a few days and then use it as needed, just plugging the hose/plate back into the window when I need it. I've been using it for 3 years and even running it every day for all or part of the day my electric bill has never increased more than $10 a month from normal. I don't think it's the quietest car but after the first night I get used to it and it just becomes white noise to me. I was worried at first about draining it and kept checking but the water never came out when I checked. I still check it about once a month as the humidity here is over 90% but I still had no water when I checked. I also like it in spring because I have pretty severe allergies and it allows me to sleep without constant coughing, sneezing and wheezing. I haven't noticed a decrease in efficiency or an increase in noise over the past 3 years. I would buy it again based on the size of the room I have, but I would recommend a unit with more BTUs if you are using it in a larger area. I tried using this in my living/dining room which is also open to the kitchen and while it helped it didn't cool a much larger area.
