mine's a sharp~
i've only used it for 1 summer (last summer)
i got it at costco down at bellingham
it was cheaper even after we got taxed by the customs

make sure you get enough BTU for the size of your room
and some portable ACs require you to empty out the water after a few hours or so. i guess it's better if you get one that doesn't require you to do that~
and some has a double hose system.. which i think cools down the room faster. mine's only a single hose but i think it's good enough. (my room is a little over 300 sq ft)
and a timer is always handy~ so you can set it to turn on by itself even before you get home~

im not very tech savvy... my dad and bf did most of the work for me..
so i don't know for sure how good/reliable that one is..
but
it looks almost identical as mine, im thinking it's an updated version of mine
the model # of yours is CVP10MX
mine's CVP10MC
but it sounds like it's alright. and i don't think it uses too much electricity
our bill didn't go up by much
compare the Energy Efficiency Rating of this AC with the other ones... (i can't seem to see what my ac's eer is...)
