I haven't been able to get mine below 40. It's good enough though. I
have a 20,000 btu room ac in a 8'x12' walkin. I got real tired of
paying about $1K every few years for compressor replacement AND having
my cooler down for a day or more, so I switched over to a room ac and
CoolBot a couple of years ago. I now have a spare room ac ready to
go in. My first (used) ac unit lasted less than a year. Can't guess
how long the current new unit will last.

Incidentally, I have a ~12'x24' "tomato room" that is well insulated.
No windows, one door. I had been running a ~14,000 btu room ac.
When it went out, I put in a ~$100 5,000 btu unit which is keeping the
temperature down below 70 deg. No Coolbot there, of course.
