We own a B&B made of vintage railroad cabooses in Northern California's wine country and we now own four of these units. Being cabooses, the rooms are about 450 square feet with this unit in the center of one wall keeping the room cool or hot depending on the season.
The nice thing about this unit is that it's inexpensive, installs in moments and just does the job. Our guests don't need to be rocket scientists to operate the included remote control and the unit can cope with summers where the outside temperature reaches 110° and winters where the nights can be in the low teens. The grapes love this weather, but people aren't as thrilled.
The air conditioning mode is the best of all on this unit. There are two fan speeds and you simply select the temperature you desire and the unit does a very effective job of keeping the room very comfortable. When the temperature is reached the unit shuts off as you might expect and comes on again when it's time for another dose of nice, cold air.
The heating function is slightly different. You still set the temperature and all, but the fan never shuts off. This means that as the unit blows increasingly cold air until the compressor kicks in again and heats up the incoming air. This is strange I don't know why the fan never shuts off in heat mode but it doesn't, and this is true of all of these units.
I also had one unit arrive slightly damaged but I was able to fix the problem.
If your room is under about 500 square feet this is a nice, efficient way of keeping it comfortable. I've had one of these units for up to three years with no issues. Considering that some of our rooms use ductless/mini split type systems with infinitely complicated remote controls this is such a refreshing change. The reason I didn't rate the unit five stars is because of the heater fan never shutting off, otherwise these units are great.

So far the only compaint I have is the thermostat doesn't turn off the unit at the set temp. It works great in my garage though
