  1. from RickF from Berkeley, CA, www.circuitcity.com
    2.0 Stars directions for installing the air conditioner were poor and the vent was too long to fit in my window.
  2. from www.ajmadison.com
    4.0 Stars you may note that you will need to get additional foam to seal your window properly, and you may need an electriction to upgrade a circuit breaker wherever you plug this in.
