is the house hot or fresh on summer?

I live in Hawaii, so we have summer as our main season. It's comfy and cool for my two huskies. They enjoy it even in cold and rainy weather. It's a great dog house.

Here, in Arizona we get 110+ summer temperatures, though not much humidity. My unit handles it great.

so far so good! we live across from the beach and get some fairly strong winds from the east. it sometimes bends at the spring - but snaps back. the summer will be a good test!

Not at all. It's actually very cool to the touch. We live in Arizona and we've used it in summer and cooler temps and it always is dry and cool to the touch. Perfect for beach or grass.

Yes! And it makes my kitchen very warm from all the hot air. Great in the winter, not so great in the summer. But it's worth it. It wouldn't be any different than your apartment smelling like whatever you cook for dinner.

I have this unit at my summer house, but I believe you are correct. I will check next time I am at that house.

I have only owned it for a month and summer is not here yet, but I don't think it will be hot; don't quote me on that though when summer gets here I will know.

Outside is cool to the touch, except for the window at top. That gets hot enough that you don't want to touch it.

The cool setting is not cool. It is warm. Pretty comfortable. The high setting is pretty hot.

We've had ours for a year and love it! The grey doesn't seem to get too hot, they've never complained, plus there's vents in the top if you want additional air when the visits are down. But definitely not hot to the touch.

Yes. You can use it in the summer !!! . I have and have had no heating problems whatsoever. Basically you feel its magic when its actually cold. So don't worry ! ;)

To be honest, we have such hot weather that I'm thrilled it knocks our temperature in a huge window-lined room down more than 10 degrees. Our room also has the disadvantage of having a huge archway that opens into a mud room and the rest of our home. It was 98 degrees outside and I was thrilled my sunroom was 80 degrees. I think expectations should be adjusted depended on load, how open the room is to other areas, and the external temperature. One thing this is NOT is central air. We have central air and there is no comparison. That being said, I still think this is the best portable unit on the market today and we are still very pleased with it.

Ours does have a mild smell in the summer, but it can be minimized by adding layers of brown material such as fall leaves or newspaper on top of each green layer of food scraps. Also, if you add a little garden soil once in a while that also neutralizes the odor. In the winter, it doesn't have any odor.

I leave it on year round. Heating bill lower. Electricity bill not really any change. Floor warm not hot. Barefooting it is great.

If you are in air conditioned room, and humidity not to high, not a problem. I have not had any problems under these conditions.

It's good for all seasons. During winter, we had a heating pad that had a temperature sensor so it didn't get too cold (also found on Amazon)
