72% were impressed with the noise level, yet 28% found it slightly bothersome
The noise level of the air conditioner is similar to my old window unit and not any louder.
When I run the high speed fan and compressor, I notice the noise level, but it's not necessary to use that mode frequently or for long periods.
The portable air conditioner is a bit loud compared to a box fan.
This portable air conditioner is loud and it surprises me that people are unphased by it.

75% highlighted the portability and mobility, but 25% found it cumbersome
The unit has casters that rotate 360 degrees, making it easy to move around.
The air conditioner is portable and can be moved around.
The portable air conditioner is easy to move from one room to another with its rollers.
I tied a strap around the lower part of the unit to move it from one room to another as dragging it across the carpet using only the side handles was difficult.

74% commented on the air Filtration system
The portable air conditioner has 3 air filters, 2 for the condenser and 1 for the air handler.
I suddenly remembered that the air conditioner has a filter that needs regular cleaning.
66% found the ventilation options useful, while 34% were indifferent
I did not use the louvered air exhaust that comes with the kit and instead built a sturdy wooden attachment for the window.
I checked the air conditioner and found that the vent hose was really hot.
I replaced the rigid exhaust hose that came with the unit with a flexible dryer style hose because it was not long enough to reach the window and had no insulation.
The hose is not long enough.
68% appreciated the remote control, however 32% found them unnecessary
I can control all the thoughtful features of the panek with the remote, including fan speed, cooling mode, timer, etc.
The remote control is excellent.
When I am half asleep and either too warm or too cold, the remote control is very helpful.
I found it strange that the max button and the sleep button are exclusive to the remote control.
