This brand is made in the USA by The Air Lab Inc and is sold online through Home Depot and Amazon. The units have modern styling and enhanced air circulation from the vertical discharge of the cool air. They have a three speed fan with an anti-microbial mesh filter and an optional carbon filter subscription service. The units have a 12 EER efficiency rating and use environmentally friendly R32 refrigerant as well as having a carbon offset partnership with EcoCart. The air conditioners use 115 volt power and are available in three sizes but they are relatively expensive and their guarantee is minimal when compared to other brands. The units are quiet in operation with a noise rating roughly equivalent to the hum from a refrigerator and they offer a free 30 day risk free trial.
