we are going to return to a window model and eventually transition to a heat pump.
in-window units and central units simply pump or drop the water outside.
it's loud, but not louder than a small-room window ac.
pros: accurate temperature controls, cools the whole room, dehumidifier, easy window installation, energy efficient, even air distribution, quiet best uses: medium sized room describe yourself:
we have two other window units in our house -- one smaller maytag, one larger whirlpool -- and neither of them are half as loud as this one.
i use this ac unit with a fan to push the air further in my apartment.
mid level in energy effiency, otherwise a good product> pros: accurate temperature controls, cools the whole room, easy window installation cons: loud best uses: large room
it drives me nuts every day i pray that my bf gets a new one but he wouldn't since it was a hassle to get in the window in the first place.
great product, illustration neglets to show that it needs to vent out window.
the window exhaust portion is extremely poorly designed also.
also, as the other reviewer commented, the exhaust needs a window to vent.
window kit required modification.
the window slider kit is easy to install but the height is too small.
weaknesses: it takes a lot of space near your window.
weaknesses: pricey compared to window units.
my 5000 btu lowe's window ac blows this thing away.
consider that this unit, while mobile, sacrifices a good window seal.
however, my old window ac worked better, although the old one had a lower energy efficiency rating, a lower btu rating, and the same wattage rating.
i think this ac is great i live on the third floor of an apartment building and it gets really hot this is the first ac that works great i dont even know what the weather is outside its so cool in

once it's in the window, it's very easy to use.
not only works perfectly and refresh the entire room, but i also love the design of this object that fit perfectly in my apt.
pros: ac & dehumidifier functiongreat designremote control cons: none review: not only works perfectly and refresh the entire room, but i also love the design of this object that fit perfectly
there were missing parts to connect to the window outlet (i used duct tape workarounds to test), and delonghi said the serial number indicated it was manufactured over a year ago, and suggested it
the window insert could use some rework.
works well, could use a better mechanism to connect to the window when a sliding window (side-ways)
"great window unit!
product was a perfect fit for window.
after driving about 45 minutes to and from a target store that actually had this in stock, i put it in my window this morning and the thing emitted very loud strange grinding sounds.
pros: its not heavy, its looks very nice in your window.
two units could easily cool an apartment.
the bottom line: ok unit for minimal cooling where a traditional window airconditioner cannot go (odd windows or zoning).
just put on the exhuast hose into the window venting kit and it's ready to use.
hopefully other brands overcome these limitations -- otherwise, if your room can accomodate a window unit, choose that instead.
-- easy setup---our cottage had odd windows, yet we were able to vent.
pretty quiet, actually cooled a good portion of the apartment if i left the door open.
in order to install the unit, you have to take off the front panel (how??...they don't say, except to remove the screw that holds it on, which they don't point out on the diagram), take out the
bought this unit to fit a window which is 42' wide.
i purchased this unit since it was rated as the quietest and best buy by consumer reports.installing this unit as a window unit is a nightmare when compared to other window units such as the sunbeam.
i'll be checking to see if my co-op insurance is up to date in case it falls out the window.word of advice you need to pull the chasis out to put the rail in and then screw the rail on with the screw
i just installed this unit in a window of my large studio apartment, and it cooled the whole place beautifully.

as cold and strong as any ac i have?ever seen.?also, it runs until the room gets cool.?most window ac units and "through the wall" units stop cooling when the outside ...
not a big ugly unit stuck in your window.
i highly recommed this window unit for people on a budget who desperately need some cold air.
"i purchased this unit after doing my "window shopping"via the internet.yes the price may be higher than someother air conditioners but the quality is second to none.did not have any problem with the
i have been around a bunch of window units before, some much larger than this one and this one beats them all when it comes to noise.
it also will cool another room across the hall if we open a window slightly.
seems that some have problems with the noise, but that is usually a problem with any window a/c if not installed properly or securely.
first of all, the box and the webpage descriptions describe the window kit as optional, which is true except if you want to use cooling mode, you have to allow the exhaust to go out a window.
wish i had gone with the window air conditioner instead.
the vent that connects it to the window is always blazing hot which makes the room even warmer.
it has to vent to a window when in the cooling mode, which can make placement tricky.
we purchased this a/c to use for our tent #1 the vent only worked on one side #2 the exhaust pipe for the window is blazing hot !
pros: lots of cold air, looks nice, takes only minimal window space.
i purchased this portable because my living room is facing west and no window.
pros: great price, good a/c power, nice remote control, effective window kit, continuous drainage valve.
i live in a building so i too was required to get rid of my window air conditioner which worked fine by the way.
the window kit is a joke and lets too much hot air back in the room.
perfect if you don't have the option of installing a higher-output window-mounted unit.
that aside, highly recommended as an alternative to a window-mounted a/c, especially if you ever need to move it to other areas - an almost impossible task with window-mounted units.
wa-9020e has good value with good cooling performance, even though it's not as quiet as the window air conditioners.
i just got the window kit installed and fired it up about five minutes ago.
if you're looking for an air conditioner you can unhook and wheel away on days you want to leave your windows open, this is a decent model, but i would expect a greater efficiency or lower price tag
the timer option is very useful though, you can set it to delay start-up for up to 12 hours so you can save energy during the day and still return to a cool room/apartment at the end of the day.
not cheap looking, like others i have seen at home depot and sam's club.i bought this for my apartment.
we have a small window unit in place, but since temps have risen over 90 degrees it was not quite doing the job.
after considering cutting holes in walls for wall mount units or trying to fit those ugly window jobs that always look jerry-rigged from both the inside and out i decided on a portable unit.
my husband ended up making the window accessory that was missing and i ended up downloading the manual from amazon.com.thanks guys!the portable air conditioner was definitely worth my money.
