Ours is set to 80 day and night. 80 feels great when stepping out of 101-106 heat. and its just June, wonder what August is going to be like.

About 81-83F, with a small inverter drive PC fan as a desk fan to keep me cool. I use natural cooling when possible.

my apt is a 2 story configuration. I leave the upstairs windows open while at work and it usualy gets to about 77degrees down stairs, abit warmer upstairs. When I come home at about 7pm I open the down stairs windows and the breeze sucking up through the apartment cools it to about 73 on its own.

I have only used the a/c a few times when the windows opening dosn't drop it below 83, then its only on for about 2 hours till the sun goes down.
