This is my first experience with mobile air conditioners, and I must say I am satisfied.
For the noise I thought it was worse.
It manages to cool my 50 sqm living room well and something in the other rooms too.
I also bought the premium window kit from Electrolux and it makes a difference, it's worth it.

I have seen much quieter and better working much cheaper air conditioners so I thought taking a known brand with the highest power would provide a high quality, decent noise and cool effect. Unfortunately, it is very loud, the tube outlet is leaking hot air... and the outcome does not allow to cool off the room as much as I wish. Yes, I am aware that it is a mobile air conditioner, that are extremely inefficient, but as I stated, I have seen twice cheaper devices from unknown brands that actually worked and were much quieter.
However, it is what it is, during a massive heat wave it will still save me.

Due to the size of the unit and the handling of the hose, we could not lead the hose out of the skylight.

It's a good unit, but it's not a professional built-in split air-conditioning solution, and it won't be even with more advertising - it's clunky, heavy, loud, has high power consumption and of course the cooling performance falls short of expectations. The biggest design flaw with the unit - it is even app connected - is the lack of a temperature sensor that can be placed externally - the one in the unit is relatively helpless, as the temperature around the unit drops to the set value quite quickly.
Optimisation of the exhaust air (hose as short and straight as possible, good window sealing set + additional insulation) and location may still bring something, but the room will not reach 18 degrees as long as you do not drill a hole in the wall directly behind the unit for exhaust air - investment in a good window sealing set and additional insulation is worthwhile.
