the best part is--you can take the outtake tube out of the window on cooler days to let in fresh air.
from MC from NY, NY, www.circuitcity.com
it is a little noisy as some of the reviews have said but i dont think its that much worse than a window unit.

the air conditioner keeps my upstairs bedroom comfortably cool, but it can only be used under the window.
