I usually never use my A/C. But when I do I set it at 69 when I'm hot and 74 when I'm cold.

I use it most of the time but it's a pain in the a$$ to change the temperature on both sides together, I don't like it.

Not sure if you all know this, but if you press the hot and cold temp buttons simultaneously, it goes to 72 degrees. No need to tap the buttons for eternity.

I know about this but just the fact that I have to do it on both sides, it's not a very helpful design for me.
