One should always check the BTU rating which reflects the cooling capacity of the unit. Always look for features like variable air direction to prevent draft, easy to remove and clean filter to avoid dust and airborne irritant ants, silent motor, air exchanger, multi adjustable speed and thermostatic temperature control.
