I am currently using this to cool a room at the exact maximum rated capacity - 60 cubic metres - which isn't terribly well sealed, and it works perfectly well. In fact it works considerably better than the previous no-name unit I had which had a stated 10, 000 BTU power rating - compared to the 8300 BTU this unit is rated at.
It managed to keep the room at 22 degrees when the outside temperature was 30 degrees, while running mostly in the surprisingly quiet "low" mode and eventually even turning off because it had sufficiently cooled the room.
I did have all the doors and windows closed, and have some thick plastic sheeting that I use to seal up the window that I vent it with.
There are some compromises compared with the more expensive models. You can't change the angle of the air output, it always vents it upwards at a 45 degree-ish angle. It has a remote but no wi-fi smart control. Presumably the lower capacity means it won't work in larger rooms, where the others will, theoretically.
It has a couple of advantages as well: it's smaller, uses less energy, and is surprisingly quiet.
If you have a room at or below the rated 60 metres squared, this is a good option from a quality brand.
