Fantastic - Don't Hold Back! July 14, 2010

This thing kicks more @$$ than a horsejockey. We used this to replace a GE 10,000 BTU unit we've had for a considerable time - the difference is night and day. Very, very cold air that has a ton of force behind it's airflow, it cools off a summer heated 13' x 16' room literally in seconds, and we live on the top floor of our apartment building, so that's saying a lot.
As far as noise goes, it's actually quite quiet, and you get used to the machine's minimal noise very quickly. Consider the noise level a soft-to-medium white noise at it's possible worst. I am partial to white noise, but if you're not, don't worry, this unit will be more than satisfying.
This is an EXCELLENT air conditioner for the price (looking back I'd have paid more if I had to, it's that good), and I recommend it to anyone looking for a window unit.
I say buy it. August 23, 2010

When my other unit went out the last day of a heat wave I found a deal on this unit and made the purchase. It really hasn't been warm enough for me to put it to a real test yet, but I have cranked it up a few times when the outside temps got to 85 just to see how it works. It seems to work fine. I'll find out when some real heat hits. Even though it is physically smaller than my previous unit it is slightly more powerful though I don't see a real difference in cooling. Like my old unit, when I know the weather is going to be hot I crank it up BEFORE it gets hot. Admittedly, I am cooling an area larger than recommended, but it does seem to do the job as long as I am proactive about getting it going soon enough. It's easier for the unit to keep a cool area cool than trying to cool down an area that has already heated up.
The remote controls all the same functions that are on the units control panel. On and off, cool, autocool, fan, temperature, timer, fan speed. It's nice that you can switch from cooling functions to just fan with the remote however, when running the unit as just a fan the manual recommends opening the outside vent to let outside air in. To do this you must adjust this lever on the unit itself. When adjusting the outside vent the adjustment is so small that it doesn't appear to be doing anything. I just take it for granted that I've opened or closed the vent. I suppose, for a price, this function could be automated, but as it is it kind of defeats using the remote to switch between these two functions when you need to make another adjustment directly on the unit itself. (How lazy am I?)
The louver goes across the entire top of the unit and adjust up and down while another adjustment, (which feels rather flimsy), adjust the inside left and right. (This is the four way adjustment.) I have it adjusted up and centered. I note that the cold air mostly comes out the left and right side of the louver. There is little force in the very center. I don't feel this affects cooling ability. It's just the way the air comes out. The air is still directed the way you point the louvers.
The inside of this unit, like many, is styrofoam. It is much thinner than in my previous unit. For most of the day my unit is in the shade, but when the sun does hit it the light shines through with such intensity that at first I thought something was wrong with the outside vent. I thought it wasn't closing.
I consider the unit to be kind of loud when the fan is on high. Since it is mounted in a separate room blowing into the room I most occupy the doesn't bother me. If it were closer to me then I would find it irritating. Although, if the choice is a little noise or roasting I'll take the noise.
I really like the autocool feature. My previous unit did not have this. Set the temperature and the unit stops producing cold air and reduces fan speed once it has cooled things down. When the set temperature rises it starts cooling again. Money saver.
The included mounting kit includes hardware to fill in the space where the unit does not fill the window completely. This does not include the support bracket you will need to support the unit on the outside of your house so don't be mislead. You must buy this bracket separately.
Shop around for a deal. I it got here on Amazon for $279 with free shipping.
