What we are noticing is the humidity in the house is a good bit lower.
Draws a pretty constant 1.5kw. running for 12 hrs is 18kwh. Possibly even 15 hrs in a day.
With the door open, it is keeping the house lower than what it would normally be.
Yesterday when we turned it off and moved it to the bedroom we really noticed the increase in temperature. Our living room is at the corner of the house so gets sun from early morning to late evening, 2 external walls so plenty of thermal mass.
Do we need it. No. But I have the spare power and it's nice to come in from outside to a less warm house

Picked up an AEG unit from adverts last night.
Had on for a few hours before bed and made a considerable difference.
Definitely to loud to run over night.
This model
Vented out window which was ok, ordered a window seal kit from Amazon.
I know it's power hungry (close to 1kw) but I'd be ok with that for few hours over summer nights.

In the living room its vented out the pipe, a 4" one though, whereas the one coming from the unit is 5ish? pushed over with a rag filling the gap.
I think I might try and design some sort of adapter plate and 3d print it.
in the bedroom, Just out the window and just closed the curtains. Closed the door and came back a few hours later.
In the evening the outside temperatures were about 14-15c, when going to bed, so kept the window open.
overnight temperature curve.
Was out with the doggo last night, and if I stood close to the house I could feel the heat radiating off the walls when i stood beside them
