Buyer Reviews

Fought like the dickens to get this particular version simply because only one other on the industry has the following:
... Controls on the left
...8000btu or less WITH HEAT (not heat pump, electric heat to warm you)
... Remote
The other costs hundreds alot more and is a Friedrich. I hardly ever turn on the AC and didn't want to spend that considerably extra.
AAFeders dot com has these in stock as of May perhaps 2010. Yes INCORRECTLY SPELLED. Delivery cross country is in just days.
THE Awesome
Quite often just a whisper OF QUIET but it can gurgle a bit like a tiny babbling brook.
When I cleaned up I comprehend this may well be considering that the foam insulation strips had been left off. If I get out I'll let you know in an update.
Heat is constant air sound like a white noise machine and even though it feels only lukewarm, it in reality will take the area to 86d degrees and roast you like a piglet in no time at all.
Cool feels superb, but I'm not getting a hot day here yet.
THE NOT SO Wonderful
The Fan Speed button on the manage panel FAILS in just about every mode except cool. It operates in LOW ONLY unless I use the REMOTE to pick Med and High speed fan activity.
NOT as QUIET as I wanted. At 14ft you do not hear it at all but at 12inches to 3ft it is loud sufficient to disturb low volume tv watching but it does not do any annoying groaning, popping or banging as it cycles. I'm a light sleeper and was in a position to sleep inches from it.
The image if you see one particular exactly where the louvers run the complete width of the top of the unit THAT IS NOT Ideal. That's the 10000BTU unit. This version has the older appear with little set of controls leading left taking up what would be some of the louver space.
The description says the louvers rotate up and down. Well they do rotate UP and back to neutral but NOT DOWN.
I'll post a pic so you can see. Global Industrial dot com had shown it appropriate but is out of stock and took the listing down altogether.
Have not tested the AUTO feature. If it operates nicely it will be a initial for any heating or cooling appliance I've purchased to basically have even a reasonably precise thermostat function.
If you are questioning why I give it such a high rating, it is an affordable model at $308-315 (don't spend additional than $375) and its annoyances/flaws are simple and easy to deal with.
MEASURING WINDOW OPENING
Do notice the image added. The minimum height necessary for this model is 16.25 inches and 16.five would make it simpler on your installer. It is not the 15+ stated on some store's tech sheet.
When measuring get started ABOVE the lip some window frame have. Don't begin down on the sill as the installation manual indicates. I did that and if I did not have an installer who could reconfig my window the unit would have had to be shipped back!
Do not assume your window can go up exactly where the bottom of the edge of the front most pane lines up with the bottom of the upper pane. You may possibly have stops and other window components that avoid the lower sash from rising that substantially. Certainly push it up all the way then measure, don't assume.
