I REALLY did not want to purchase this. I’ve got extra tall windows, and an apartment that’s supposedly too close to the ocean to need air conditioning. First world problems.. recently unemployed. Hottest summer in Los Angeles in a million years.. I did it. No turning back. This unit saved our lives. Not nearly as intimidating to setup as expected.Pros: gets cold! As it should, but I see other reviews that mention that, like they’re surprised when it does. Window kit was easy enough to measure and buy on Amazon separately. Installing window kit was easy breezy cover girl. Did need an extra person to help spot me although I want to say I did most of the setup myself. Easy on the electric bill.Cons: it’s louder than expected, not super loud but thankfully I sleep with ear plugs so that works out. If you don’t, I imagine it could be an issue. The hose to the window is not very long, which was almost an issue.Overall, this is a summer game changer. Glad I finally did this with Afterpay, in 4 payments.
