I have a 14,000 BTU version and it cools the entire 2nd and 3rd floor lofts of my house. Works very well but it recently started leaking and I can't tell what the issue is, the drains all appear unobstructed. I even stuck something in there and there is no debris clogging them. I only ever use cooling mode but it leaks tons of water. I finally got a tub to set it in, but I'm afraid of electrical problems if it's sitting in an inch of water. Edit - Finally found out that it's the "Dry Mode" drain that has been leaking. Which makes no sense since I only use cooling mode and cooling mode is supposed to drain out of the bottom drain. I don't really understand the problem but now I have it draining into a bucket and the unit still cools very well which is what really matters. Very annoying problem though.
