As far as portable units go, it's a powerful and efficient dual-hose unit. I did experience a bit of what I've seen in occasional reviews, that the unit tends to throttle down to lower than max output - efficient since it's an inverter type, but not cooling the room as quickly. I think it depends on how you have the unit situated to throw the air, sometimes it's cooling the air around it so quickly than it can throw the air out to the rest of the room, so the unit's thermostat gets tricked into throttling down. I was limited by where I had to place the unit to get the room air better circulated, so I used the nifty remote setting to read the room temp off the thermostat built into the remote itself, rather than on the main unit - you just have to find a place in the room to leave the remote that also has a good line-of-sight to the main unit....

The compressor motor in this unit runs on DC and because of this, it can be run at variable speed versus a traditional AC compressor that has only 2 settings: on (full speed) and off.
This [usually] translates to better efficiency and a lower power bill unless the unit still needs to run at full load all the time, in which case it would likely cost the same or even a bit more to operate (than a traditional unit) due to losses in AC>DC conversion.
