I love this machine way better than I thought I would. My husband bought it as a gift but knew I was interested. I was just put off by the cost. But now, I ask myself if I would pay $2 a night to experience this and the answer is a resounding yes. Every night! So if this lasts more than a year I consider it totally worth the cost and would buy a new unit if it broke. He also bought the king size cloud sheet as he does not need the cooling like I do. So his side is just a normal sheet, no air.I sleep very hot. Not hot flashes, I’m past that (although this would certainly have helped!). I push sheets off, then on, then off and finally settle in the last few hours. I demand the ac be set to at least 70 at night if not lower. My husband prefers 76, if only to save money. We live in sunny SoCal. Summers are hot.Now with this bedjet I no longer care what the ac is set to, I don’t notice it. I start the bedjet out very cool, 68F and 60% fan, then in the middle of the night I found myself setting it to 74F and 30% fan. Then in the early morning down to 72F and 40%. Then I discovered the biorhythm menu which is just a fancy term for setting your own personal full night program. I created one with the above settings, played around with it for a few nights and now have it running like clockwork. I also start the cooling about 30 minutes before I sleep so the sheets are wonderfully cool when I get in. And if I need an adjustment I just reach for the control and adjust. The control lights up when you move it so easy to see.Anyway, if this lasts a year and beyond it is well worth its cost. Wish I knew that about 10 years ago!!!One negative. The manual is written as though engineers wrote it. And the remote programming is a bit of a challenge to learn. They really need a human factors person to rewrite it. I am a retired systems engineer and figured stuff out but I also did software human interfaces and this one is pretty challenging for the non tech types. Hopefully they will get someone to help out in this area as they improve it. I agree with another reviewer that they need more cool default settings. But the biorhythm feature and memory buttons lets me set my own fast cool buttons so not an issue for myself.Another hint, the firmware update required me to put the controller right next to the unit to get it to connect. Even 5 feet away wasn’t close enough. Not sure why as there was line of sight, unobstructed. But it works fine away from the unit for all the other features.And, finally, great customer service. The part that holds up the air hose snapped when weight was put close to it on the mattress. We had a free replacement sent within 4 days. Hint: don’t sit anywhere near the hose on the mattress!!  Read Less
