5 out of 5 stars
I was hesitant...
I don't have a normal window, mines a sliding style, not the up n down type. So that was a challenge in itself in finding the right air conditioner. I definitely didn't want one that was big & bulky. I spent hours reading other people's reviews on various AC's when I finally just went for this one because not only was it inexpensive but it had decent reviews. It's not super big either so my window isn't left hella open. I did get the padding stuff to reflect the light off my window and block out any gaps. My apt is 900ft so the bedroom isn't super big and even on low, eco setting, this bad girl really gets the job done. I would prefer to be able to move the vents up n down rather than turning side to side though.All ACs have loud noises even on eco, you'll never escape it so if you hate the sound, then suffer in heat bro. I don't mind the noise, I have fans on in the winter, so, if yah know, yah know. Anyway, this is a good buy. I'd love to get another one, but I'm broke ATM lol. And yes my picture uploaded in poor quality and yes, that's a lot of nerdy stuff around it.

This AC works well and is great for the price. I don't usually post a review so soon after buying a large item of this sort but will revise if needed. It came right to my house and had straps around the box that made it much easier to pick up (I'm a 62 year old woman). I like white noise so the quiet sound of this machine is fine.

Great for the summer! It works well for the price but I had a hard time building and installing it. My roommate has a different brand that was much easier to build and sits in her window better (but mine is cheaper and works just as well). It was incredibly difficult to screw the window support shelf in on the top of the unit. Also the back came a bit damaged. A bit loud but and clunky looking but all in all it’s a good AC and I definitely would recommend, especially if you’re on a budget!

This unit is the mechanical control version works great. This is second unit i’ve bought original unit still going after 3 years of heavy use. Important do not pull rubber drain plug unless you want unit to be less effective. it will make it less noisy but not cool as well.

This ac was bought for the purpose of cooling my room enough that I can be in there and sleep in there without it feeling suffocating and it did just that. My room and hallway are so much cooler now and it’s bearable. Granted it not freezing it still is so much better than it was. I’m currently in the midst of a heatwave and this air conditioner helped immensely. I currently have it set to cool on high and it’s working well. It is a bit noisy but it’s so much better than the ac I had. My old ac was a lot bigger and couldn’t be put upstairs it was also so much louder. But my old ac was a lot colder. Even though the old ac was colder it didn’t help much because upstairs would still be hot as heat rises. This ac was also a lot cheaper than the one I gave away and this one has a remote. It also is more appealing to look at compared to the old one. It works well but don’t go into it expecting extremely cold ac. It does get really cold but it takes time. It took about 30-45 minutes to properly cool my room which is fairly small. I am excited to test out the modes and see how well it does shutting off when the room reaches the proper temperature. I didn’t just buy the ac for me but for my animals too. I work a lot and I want to make sure they are okay. I will update my review in about a month and see how well it does going into the hottest months. The lowest the ac will go is 64 so do keep that in mind.

This AC was just delivered. It was in a double box. The package was delivered with the shipping labels visible on top. There were no other markings. The inner box was upside down. When I turned it over the message read "Always keep this side up." The delivery person would have no idea it was upside down. The box appeared undamaged but the AC was dented on the side and the top was dented down a bit. I waited more than the recommended 24 hours to allow oil in the compressor to settle before installing it. After all that the AC seems to do a good job cooling the small room. I like the ECO setting that will turn off the fan when the compressor shuts off when we are not sleeping. We use a constant fan when we are sleeping. I would not say it is quiet.

This is a bare-bones small window-mount air conditioner unit. Not fancy, but it works reasonably well. At 6000 BTU, it is rated for rooms around 200 to 250 ft.². I have mine in an 11 x 18‘ room (200 ft.²), and it will cool that room to a comfortable temperature within about an hour, and keep it there.

Operation is very simple: you can use the remote or front panel buttons to set a target temperature (which is not entirely accurate because the room tends to be cooler right near the AC, but you can adjust the temp up or down until the room finally stabilizes at a point you’re comfortable with, regardless of the number on the display). It will remember the temp setting after you turn it off, and retain that setting the next time you turn it on. There is a “Delay“ button which allows you to input a number of hours (push “Delay,” then use the “+” and “-“ buttons to set the number of hours on the display). If the unit is off when you set the delay, it will stay off for that length of time and then turn on automatically, so you can have it go on, say, one or two hours before you expect to come home from work, and get the room cool before you get back; if the unit is on, setting the delay will turn it off after the set number of hours, so you can leave it running to keep the room cool for that length of time and then turn itself off (useful in a bedroom at night). It has settings to adjust the fan speed, to set it for fan only (no cooling), and “Eco” (energy saving). The remote is simple and kind of chintzy feeling, but controls all the functions. All these basic functions do just what you expect.

The unit has louvers to direct the air output left or right, but not up or down. They don’t work very well; the air just mostly blows straight out.

My major issue is with the window mount system. Like most similar units, this is designed to fit in the bottom half of a double-hung window, with the sliding window frame pulled down on top of it to hold it in place. It is very important that it be mounted correctly and securely, so it doesn’t fall out of the window. The problem is that the mounting instructions seem to assume a particular kind of window frame design, but there are many different kinds of double-hung windows with different architecture. There is a top bar that you attach to the top of the AC case with some supplied screws. After you balance the unit on the bottom edge of the window frame, you pull the sliding window section down on top of it so that the top bar is inside the lower edge of the sliding window frame. You then have to securely fix that frame so it never opens again; if anybody raises that window frame, or it just gets loose somehow, there will be nothing holding the AC in place and it will fall straight out. They supply a couple of flimsy metal brackets that you are expected to screw into the fixed window frame above the top edge of the sliding portion, to block it from sliding up after you have mounted the AC. This assumes that there is a flat surface that you can easily drill into along the edge of the window frame. Not all window frames are like that. There is also a flimsy metal clip supposed to be mounted to a screw at the bottom of the AC case, and screwed down into the bottom of the window frame for a little bit of extra security. That assumes that your window frame is designed so that there is a flat surface right below the case of the AC when you balance it on the bottom edge of the open frame; again, not all windows are like that. In my case, I couldn’t mount any of those little clips the way they were intended, and there is no other way to mount the unit with the supplied hardware. I finally drilled right through the top bar, in front of the sliding window frame where it comes down to hold the AC in place, and drove a sheet metal screw through the bar and into the window frame, locking the two securely together; then I cut two wooden dowels to exact length and fixed them in place between the top of the sliding window section and the very top of the fixed frame so they prevent the sliding section from being pushed up. Now the sliding window is blocked from going above the top bar on the AC, and it is screwed into the top bar where it touches it down below, so nothing is going to shift, but I had to do all that myself. The mounting hardware supplied with the unit is very light, and doesn’t match my window architecture at all. Be prepared to figure out a solution for yourself if necessary.

All in all, this is a typical small window AC unit that does what it is expected to do. It is not fancy, and you may have to adjust or replace the mounting hardware to get it to fit in your window, but once it’s installed it works OK.

IMPORTANT: Mounting an AC unit like this solely on the edge of the window frame is possible but not the best solution. It is safer and more secure to mount a bracket sticking out from the window frame to provide a solid surface for the AC unit to rest on and support the weight, then secure the window frame as described above to keep the unit from moving, but without putting the full weight of the unit on the window frame. There are many AC mounting brackets designed specifically for this purpose. My ridiculous window architecture did not allow the use of such a bracket, so I had to just lock the window frame down on it and hope for the best. I would strongly recommend adding a mounting bracket if you can fit one on your window.
