Auto Restart – Automatically resumes operation with previous settings after a power outage.

Quiet Performance – Runs at 58-63 dB, about as quiet as a casual conversation.

Adjustable Fan Operation – Choose to run the fan continuously or only when the compressor is active.

Eco-Friendly Refrigerant – Uses R454B refrigerant, which is more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly than older formulations.
