Sharp usually makes good products, I wanted to like this a/c but at best it cools so/so. Styling is sleek, the louvers are nice as air direction can be adjusted (a feature not available on all portable a/c's). Remote control is more robust than most, but at the cost of no real on board controls. Like many televisions today, if you lose the remote- good luck getting it to work the way you want (there's only an on & off button & no on board display). Amazon shows the unit as 9,500 btu's in the title, but then 10,500 in the description. The model is the CV2-P10SX which, according to Sharp- is 10,500 BTU's. Unfortunately it only seems to have the cooling power of a 9000 BTU unit. I've now got three portable A/C's. One is a Haier I bought from Best Buy years ago @9000 BTU's (still running strong), the second is an 11,500 Friedrich and the third is this Sharp. I figured I'd try the Sharp this time b/c it had the air ionizing feature. Ionizers alone can cost $100 so I figured it was worth it. Upon reading the manual I was disappointed to learn the ionizer doesn't work when the unit is in a/c mode. It's either a/c or ionizer. I ran the ionizer for a while and it definitely gave the air that charged up feeling and does seem to neutralize odors (I have an old window that can smell moldy and the smell seemed to dissipate after running the ionizer). The unit arrived quickly from Amazon and came with the flexible vent (which has a larger diameter than most portables), window bracket & even weather stripping (which was nice). The window attachment is different than most as it's a rectangular opening and is made of a few pieces of plastic. When stress is placed on the hose, the plastic pieces tend to separate a bit- causing the flexible hose to fall out. I had to use a small wire clamp to prevent the pieces from separating, but it's still not quite stable & I have to be careful not to put any stress on it. The hose gets very hot during operation which would lead me to believe it's removing a lot of heat- but the air coming out of the unit into the room is only coolish- not really cold. I think perhaps the exhaust doesn't move enough air to allow the unit to cool properly. My 9000 BTU Haier cools better than this (supposedly 10,500) Sharp and my 11,500 Friedrich cools MUCH better than both of them. Of the three, however, the Sharp is the most quiet. Given the choice to do this purchase over again, I'd go for another Friedrich. Still this is only the first day with the Sharp, if anything changes I'll post an update. 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Very loud and not as powerful as expected. By MilkoChicago I purchased this air-conditioner from Amazon a few weeks ago and although it does cool our apartment down, it's really not as effective as I expected. I'm most disappointed how the air-conditioner was advertised as being "library quiet," because it's definitely not quiet at all. I've used many air-conditioners before but this is definitely the loudest air-conditioner I've ever heard. I would not recommend this air-conditioner to anyone who wants to be able to listen to a tv or is trying to sleep next to one. 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Quiet and Efficient By malu I got this for our son's dorm room. But I didn not have transpotation to take this to his room. So I used it for our dinning room. It is very quiet.I live in PA those weeks of heat wave the house was cool. I also have another A/C unit {LG} for the kitchen and familyroom. I highly recoomend this product. Fast Delivery. Thanks.
