How well would this do at cooling a 90 degree + 50% humidity 200 sqft room?

I use this unit in attic space with little insulation which is roughly 300 sq ft. On very hot humid days it can bring temps in room to mid 70s.

I have experienced these conditions this summer and it handled well. I also have a ceiling fan that helps also.

Yes - I think you may have to step up to a larger unit. My space is a similar size, and now that warmer more humid weather has arrived, the unit is running almost full time to maintain 50% humidity. Although the unit is very quiet compared to other units I have owned, it still may be a bit annoying in certain circumstances (e.g. viewing TV in the area).

My bedroom is over 300 sq feet, and it cools that pretty well. If you follow the suggestions I made in my review, you can probably cool 300 sq feet with it, depending on how cool you need it of course.

I think it will do fine in a room that size. Depending on the configuration, you might need a supplemental fan to circulate the heat, since the unit's fan isn't all that powerful. BTW: My unit is very quiet. It started making a bit of noise during oscillation when I put it out this year and with some investigation, I found the screws holding on the back panel needed tightening. A few minutes with a screwdriver and the heater is now wonderfully quiet again. Altogether a very satisfactory purchase.

I've been using mine in a 2400 sf crawlspace in NC and been keeping the humidity at 62 pc. So far so good!My unit has the built-pump with the hose running outside thru the foundation wall.

If you have a small room it's fine as long as you don't expect the room to be really cold...this air conditioner uses a smaller amount of electricity but isn't a big cooler.... Don't get me wrong it will cool a room and keep it coo it's just not... Well lets say really powerful.

I am in Colorado, pretty dry here. I am not sure how well it would work in a humid area. It doea not freeze out my daughters room and hers is 100 sq ft. It just makes it cool. I would not get this one if your area is much larger than that.

If you need to cool a small space, it's just fine. My home office is tiny and I have this a/c right behind me. I needed to break the plastic vent bec it was shooting all the a/c to the vaulted ceiling. Since I made the adaptation, the cold air blows right on me while computing.

If you look at the other questions people have used it to cool home theatre receivers with good results. I use it for something else, but with the amount of air it moves I'd expect it to be able to cool receivers well.

This humidifier is good Up To 2200 sq ft. That's in a best case scenario. I installed this in an 1800 sq ft house, and when the temp dips to 10 degrees, it barely makes an "acceptable" 35% humidity. That's in a well insulated house with double pane windows. Humidity seeks its own level. If your older home is not, or not well insisted, and does not have double pane windows, you will lose humidity almost as fast as you can put it in the air. At the very least, the next size up is better for 2000 sq ft., and with the worst cast scenario, something made for 3-4000 sq ft. May be needed, and that's IF your furnace can accommodate it. PS, the golden zone is 40 to 50% percent humidity. Below 40, viruses thrive; above 50, and mold thrives.

This fan will work very well for that room! Using mine in a slightly smaller area (132 sf) and only run on low speed to circulate AC from ceiling in the warmest room in house. I believe you will be happy.

I'm in Arizona too, and it works great. I just used for the first time this weekend since November, as the temperature raised above 90 degrees. It really depends on how much space you're looking for it to work. Anything larger than 190 square feet, and you might have to get two and position them accordingly. If you're looking to stay cool in one specific area, it will work fine. If you live in a humid climate, I'm not sure how much of a difference it will make without Air Conditioning.

I use mine in a very damp cellar area. By virtue of lowering the humidity level from 82% to an average of 45%, my cellar does have a cool yet dry feel now but the air from the dehumidifier does have a somewhat warm feel to it.

Yes, it will do the trick. It only cools the room you are currently in. Very portable and easy to use and clean. For the price, it's decent.

This should do well in a small room. The application we used it for was a LARGE room - 30x30 with 10 foot ceilings. It did OK. It kept the temp bearable - around 75 as opposed to 85. We bought this unit knowing that is would be small for the space we were cooling. Our space requires about a 25-30,000 cooling BTU. So this unit should facilitate a small room with no problem.

Not sure, does a good job for an average size basement though. Runs until humidity level down to settings. Very happy with the performance.

Live in PHX and house is at 85 degrees or so in summer and the unit has no problems keeping it at its lowest settings,46 degrees in upper 54 in lower. This unit has dual cooling systems and the area each unit has to cool is pretty small....... Not sure if humidity plays a role though. Hope this helps.
