Two questions: Is it quiet? Does it have an automatic thermostat? Want to cool a small office with computer equipment that must stay cool. Thanks.

Not real quiet. I've yet to find a window unit that is. Yes it has an automatic thermostat.

Its very quiet and it does a good job turning on and off accordingly. One of my favorite features is that it stirs the air THEN reads the temp. The "dry" function works the best IMO, it uses the least amount of power and provides a very comfortable enviornment

It is a hard machine to quiet. I tried different ways of mounting it and still could not quiet it down. The unit I had had a compressor that was extremely loud when it would kick in or kick out.

Yes on the thermostat, equivocal on the sound level. You don't have to raise your voice to be heard, but watching TV while it is running is possible only with the sound level up. But my wife says I'm deaf, so what do I know? It works fine, and I don't hear other window units are quiet, either.

The higher you have the fan on, the louder it is, but it's not too bad. For your purposes the fan can stay on low keeping it as quiet as it's gonna get. I left mine up north because I'm back in Florida with wonderful central air, but I used to sleep with it a few feet away from me. As someone else has said, yes it has an automatic thermostat.

I gave this unit away, if you see my review most people liked it and one guy said he thought it was lousy, I said I thought he was the extreme so I bought it, then I agreed but I cannot find my review. If you have a ton of computer stuff that actually provides heat then you need to go to consumer reports or online to find a calculatory. square feet and your equipment etc.. I just dont remember I think it was that on the economy mode it continually turned on and off to check for temp adjustment and the unit was not so quiet..sorry

It's very quiet, sometimes I double check to make sure it's even still on. It was a little noisy when we first got it and it was cooling to the correct temperature but now I barely know it's there.

It does have a fan that goes on automatically on and off. The sound is a low range hum.

No its a basic can fan you would buy at home depot. There is No Thermostat on it, I'd advise getting a thermostat switch. Or simply monitor your heat with a thermostat, and use a cheapo timer from wal mart to have it kick on when needed. You will have to adjust it but that should work. They are well worth every penny, not too noisy, moves plenty of air. I've had mine running for over a year with no problems other than having to add a little 3-in-1 oil.

Yes I would it run very quietly even on high making it easy for an office environment. It cools a 300sf space very well. Nice for personnel space without a lot of traffic.

Yes, it has a small fan, but it works. You can set it for auto or constant fan. I liked this heater so much I went back and bought a second one.Checked again later for a 3rd but the price had really shot up.

It is quiet, but I would suggest buying another cooling unit as this one is under powered.

Very quiet ... I'm assuming it has a little fan that runs to reduce the heat and I never hear it either.

No, not all. Very quiet when the laptop is placed on it and you have 2 modes to run the fans for optimum cooling. Had a month or so now and I love it. Wish I bought 2 of them so I have a backup just in case.

Quiet but it runs hot. I had it on a cooling pad and it went up to 173F... Needless to say it was returned for a refund.

Not sure if it has a built in fan. But not noisy at all, i use it at my cubicle at work and no one else would know it was there.

A cooling fan does kick in when it switches to backup mode, but it really isn't that noticeable. Mine's pretty quiet.

No, it's not extremely noisy, it's what I would expect from a window air conditioner. I keep it on low because it cools so well, but when it's turned on high, it's a little noisy but not too noisy where we can't hear the tv. On low it's just a nice calm sound to me. It's a great air conditioner so far, we love it!!!!

I bought this for my old employer and haven't seen this unit for a long time. I think it had a fan, but I'm not sure. I don't remember it being especially loud. But it was in a temperature-controlled closet with a lot of other equipment, so the whole closet had a bit of a fan-hum to it. Sorry I can't give you more information. Good luck in your purchase.

It's very quiet, I can sleep right next to it. The only thing I noticed is that the fan runs faster and it gets a little louder for about 2 seconds before it turns itself off when it's on the thermostat setting.

It is very quiet. It does have a fan and occasionally it is loud if the computer is "working hard". I would say the fan is on very low 90% of the time and you can barely hear it.

It is very quiet on low. I have it running all the time and it sits on the other side of my small den, and I can't even hear it running. On medium, and high, yes it gets fairly loud, but I rarely have to put it on high. It is a great air mover, and will blow everything off your desk if on high. You can't go wrong with this fan. In fact, I am about to buy another for my bedroom.
