Summary: I had a problem but its no big deal
Comment: This is a 5.5 unit but I had could only award it 4 stars . I had the noisy didnt work unit experience like another poster said who fixed it . I am afraid these take a beating when in transit . Somehow in shipping the coils that go to the condensor shifted so it hit the fan . It went clunk , clunk ...nothing . Not knowing the unit I I left it on waiting for the three minutes it says for the compressor to kick in . NO the fan should work right away . If you purchase one try the fan only mode first and make sure it works fine . Do what the one guy said let it sit at least a few hours too right side up before kicking on the AC . Thats old school to make sure the comrpessor oil filters down and you dont damage the valve body .

I was able to take a thin piece of wood and push the coil over without taking the case off . I noticed I made a few indentations in the copper tubing . The other Amazon shopper did it correctly . I am disabled and sadly had to try the improper way over pulling the case off as I was in pain not thinking clearly ( spinal neck back injury ) . It worked but it would of been proper and better to take it apart and push it over ever so gently making sure not to dent tubing or stress joints ..maybe even tie the coil to something pulling it away from the fan . You have to be so careful on the coil as its soldered and must be air tight . You dont want to stress the joints . I was able to get 1/8th of a inch fan clearance poking it with a stick . I am so mad at myself that I let the motor run for almost 15 mininutes with it locked up being brand new . Hopefully I will not have any trouble with it . Set it back in the window just to check it . It could of been done on the floor I guess ..she is running like a charm .

Oh and something that might be of interest nobody has mentioned .This has both manual and remote controls a big plus if the remote breaks . Further , the remote will work without being in the line of sight . I found you have to be in the same room but thats about it . Very nice its not like the old IR's where you have to point it at the eye . I had to put it in the same wall my headboard is against . I can sit in bed with it in any position and it works . I put some velcro on the remote and the wall above my head that way I can just reach and stick . I do the same with the tv remote and I use a svat remote switch for a light in the main room . For the bedroom just turning on the tv gives me enough light . Being in severe chronic pain I am up every hour all night each night .

I love shopping online its so much easier and often cheaper when you figure time , gas ..but there is a price . Its just you loose that closeness of purchasing in your own community from neighbors . I miss that and thanfully somethings you just dont purchase due to return issues even as good as Amazon is . I would of had a cow having to repack this . The box litterly falls apart when you pull the unit out . The one thing I did not like was the carton and thats proballey why the coils were moved along with being tossed around at UPS . That flimsy carton is not even worth keeping other then proof of original purchase . I just flattened it and put it in the attic . I will use a rubbermaid container for storing this or put it in a trash bag down in the basement . Who knows because of my back I have left one air conditioner in the window for 17 years and its still works . I just cover it and insulate it each winter . God Bless people . If you have noise check that copper tubing / fan for clearance . You can see it from the top of the unit .

I finished installing the unit . It was really so simple the skirts are slid into the unit so they grab then the rails put in . This is quiet I think if anyone has noise there is a problem with the unit . More then likely very simple for a tech to fix . Now on the drilling holes for the condesnation thats ok if ones careful but I looked at the whirlpool unit I have had for 17 years and there was no drip hole either . Just make sure you have a tad of slope downward about 1/12 inches . These are not supposed to be level . I put mine ontop of a two by 4 across the sill . It was enough lift . I do have outside storm windows installed back in the 60's . My house is very old . I upgraded and used self drilling 3/16 hex head screws . I had some extra foam and foam tape they didnt really give enough . I painted the two by four with white spray paint to match my sill . This shouldnt take more then 15 minutes once you have everything . To gather all the stuff / simple tools it took about a hour of time . So of course make this a afternoon project to be safe .

I am just going to leave mine in year round and insulate it . They make bags for the outside and you put plastic across the front with tape , pull the shade down and use a insulated drape . This leaves plenty of window free it only took up about 15 inches even with the two by four . May your God go with you always .

Summary: Nice unit - Works well
Comment: Decided to put a window unit into the bedroom so I could have snow without freezing out my daughters. Room is approximately 600 square feet and I already have central air - so this is just for topping off (cooling) the temperature. Works very well in keeping the room extra cool. Room stays about 80 degrees without unit; I keep room at 74 degrees with the unit.

Unit is nice looking and I like the layout. Easy to figure out and straight forward to use. Despite some reviews, my unit is quiet - almost too quiet. I was looking forward to a little "white noise" but this unit is actually more quiet than my 12 year old fan. No problems with the inside fan hitting water in the unit as reported in another review - maybe because it is recirculating already air conditioned air - or maybe I have the angle set correctly so that water drains.

Room stays very comfortable now and the central air is set upwards by 4 degrees so this is saving me a fortune.

Remote: Thought this would be a waste of plastic when I bought the unit but it turns out I use the remote a lot. I keep the room warmer in the day and when I am about to go to sleep I lower the temperature some more using the remote. I suffer from insomnia so being able to adjust temperature without getting up (i.e. waking up) has been extremely useful in helping me to sleep more.

Issues: Putting the unit in was more trouble than I expected. My windows were not designed for a window unit and the unit didn't make things any easier - its designed for a wooden window (or so I would surmise). I did not use a mounting bracket because the window is low - but would recommend you use a bracket for a higher window (bought separately). I ended up drilling a few holes through an aluminum window frame to get the unit in solid and stable. I also used rigid insulation to cover the lower area of the window making for a perfect seal. The side screens that come with the unit leak a lot of outside air into the house without adding extra insulation. Only other observation is the outside condensor fins are incredibly delicate and not protected at all... You so much as look at them in anger and they will bend. Be very careful not to let anything close to them or expect a lot of fin damage and reduced efficiency.

Overall I like the unit - it is exceeding expectations. Now if it will just last me 10 years I'll be happy!

Summary: problem with accordian side panels
Comment: I've been pleased with the cooling and the various options. However, the accordian side panels don't snap into place but needed to be taped to stay shut (to ensure I don't cool the outdoors, let hot air in the house..or bugs, etc.). Only after I carefully taped the sides, did I then realize that due to the vibrations, my taping job wasn't strong enough. So I used more tape, taping the side panels to the window frame instead of just to the air conditioner. The cats then proceeded to try to rip it off. Finally, I covered the side panels with cardboard using lots of tape in all areas. Since I went to all this extra trouble I realized too late I should have gone ahead and used some insulation between the panels and the cardboard.

Summary: Great A/C with one problem
Comment: After reading all the recommendations here and elsewhere I went ahead and ordered this air conditioner to replace a monstrous 35-year old unit that could no longer cool for more than 15 minutes without freezing up.

It is much lighter and easier to install, energy efficient and blows cold air forever without turning into a block of ice, but....

The directional louvers to adjust where the cold air blows to are worthless. They consist of one set of horizontal slats that have enough space around them that air still blows straight out. The adjustment up and down therefore only adjusts 50-60% of the air flow. To adjust side-to-side there is a set of small disks that supposedly deflect the air flow but really only deflect about 40% of it.

The window in the bedroom where it is installed lines up with the bed. My old A/C actually deflected all the air so one could sleep without being blasted by cold air. This one blasts enough cold air straight out that the first night I used it I woke up with a cold and raw throat.

I solved the problem by moving the TV in front of it to block the air but it seems odd that an otherwise well designed A/C has such a fundamental flaw.
