I had one installed at time of purchase for $750. It does a great job of cooling the bedroom. BUT........it is noisy, and the air only comes out of the ceiling in one direction. I would go for the quietest one you can find, also one which gives you the most options on direction of air flow. Mine has a remote control, and although the compressor is thermostatically controlled, the fan runs continuously unless the unit is turned off. I would rather both the fan and the comoressor go off once the room reaches the right temperature.

In short, I wish I had spent more time looking at the various options available, and would gladly have paid more to rectify the issues described above.
