(More customer reviews)purchased this unit for our bedroom slider window. excellent price, easy install, cools great. much better than a portable. so if you have a slider or casement and are considering a portable- don't! they just don't cool as well.
the only detractor here is that if your window is over 40" tall you will need to use something to "plug" the remaining space. our window is 44" so i had to cut a piece of plywood to plug the gap. not too big of a deal as the window is in the back of our house on the side and we have a mini blind and curtain so you can't see the plywood inside the room. the unit fits the window snugly with no air gaps and i screwed the supplied window "plug" to the plywood and then used some canned foam sealant to fill in any invisible gaps from the outside. if your window is 40" or shorter it should fit perfectly.
EAGLE delivery service was also great. all in all i figure we saved at least $150 with amazon and the free shipping over buying locally once you figure in local CA. sales tax.
HERE's THE FOLLOW UP!
well, not even a year later and the unit is D.O.A. and this was after ONE warranty repair in October. in August the unit no longer cooled during the hottest time of the year here in Socal. we got it back from the repair center and i turned it on yesterday and it worked fine, today it is already D.O.A. again... unfortunately it is now out of warranty.
as another reviewer noted quality is the issue here. for the price i expected much more than a few months of service. when it worked it WAS great. when your unit fails do yourself a favor and since you have the window bracket in place already- just buy a $100 window unit and turn it sideways. even if it fails after a year it's better than replacing it with another $300+ hunk of trash.
