This is my fourth portable AC unit for my 60 Cubic meter bedroom N82 is rated for 80. My past AC's (all of which went back to the seller within a week) I bought on specification and found either they work but too noisy , or they are quiet but don't cool and finally some just don't work at all.After much research I found DeLonghi make the most reliable and dare I say only reliable portable AC on the market. However, out the box the AC performed excellently and was very happy but these AC's come with some drawbacks.Pros:1. Unit does cool the room within an hour, I got it to 23c after running 3 days which was pleasant as the outside temp was a very hot in 33c's. It does not matter what the temp the unit says what is most important is does the unit fill the room with chilled air and in this case it did. You would be surprised but other competitors just blow coolair within a meter of the unit. The wife and I think lesser known brands are running a con excuse the pun, and robbing buyers blind.2. Best build quality of all the ones I purchased , the design is also quite good and proves it is not a rebranded Chinese off the shelf like most of the other non branded units on the market that look like small towers.3. At 9.5 BTU the N82 has a good spec than similar priced competitors.4. Got wheels on the bottom for easy placement and handle on the sides.5. Lowest sounding unit I have come across but portable AC's are in their own right still very noisy by design.Cons:1. Remote is useless, does not sync with the unit so if you put the temp to 24 the unit will still show the old temp etc, no backlight (in this day and age is a must) and list of complaints about remote goes on.2. Does not go lower than 22 Degrees C on my unit after running for three days (though may take time go lower). Also out the box don't expect it to chill the room in an instant.3. Unit is bulky , DeLonghi do make smaller versions at higher cost.4. On the N82 there is no Chill and Dehumidify function, on the higher models there is. This is not apparent in the specs.5. Needs optimum placement , needs to be proximate to where you will be using the AC which may not be possible if your window is far away. In that case buy an exhaust extender but having massive piping may not look nice.6. LED on unit is on top so cannot see what the room temp is at from a distance.Final advice: buy a unit with a spec a step higher than you need to future proof the item. Don't get pulled in by high specs on non branded units, read reviews you will find spec is not the most important element. After buying four other brands I am happy with the N82 as it is the ONLY unit thats actually works at a reasonable price.  Read Less
