Title: Sturdy and reliable
Product review: I had this unit since 2002, and it has survived 2 moves, a lot of wear and tear, dragged up and down stairs, and a broken off plastic switch on the front, and it keeps working. It cools much better when filled with water. It never leaks, not once. I replaced the exhaust hose in 2010, after it broke. The main housing is metal. It sounds like an airconditioner, and has a periodic swishing sound when *not* filled with water.Overall, a very reliable and satisfying appliance. I know this unit is no longer available, but I am adding this review as a comparison for others looking at air conditioners.
