Downstairs room with two large south facing windows and the entrance door. OKC weather from noon to about six. Seven of us in the room.
No clue on durability. He picked it up in the last two weeks. 120V.
If this is a long term house, might look at one of the mini-split units.

We just had one die a few days ago. Lasted about 3 years. On the GE 12000 btu it's a good idea to pull the cover and enlarge the drain holes or you have to walk by every couple of days and push a stick through the drain. You will actually hear the fan hitting water after awhile. The thermostat can be a little wonky also.
