Thank you so much! It was 108 degrees outside in the middle of a heat wave and my house doesn’t have AC! It was so hot and I was worried about my pets overheating and I was so hot myself and you saved me from a total breakdown haha. So quick and easy. I appreciate you so much!!

Purchased: August 2022 - still works GREAT! kzread.infoUgkxxsUnXhGsSJLim_XnMHyQK0u3XVaW-CGn I live in a studio and during the summer it gets scorching hot - really old building with no ac units. I can’t express how EASY it was to install.This unit has been a life savior during the summer and some days during other seasons where it can still be a bit warm at night. In this small place is my friend, a husky, poodle mix and myself. We need AC - lolI don’t use the dehumidifier option - I’m not sure if it will leak in my house, since I did not install the small draining hose that came with it. May look into it late but I don’t worry about much humidity in the apartment.I don’t understand why the negative reviews since all things mentioned, I personally did not find issues with. Definitely worth it!

Thank you for taking us through the step-by-step process. You kept me from having a meltdown (literally) as I installed my B/D aircon last night in my 88-degree apartment. You made it simple and clear!

Are those cold, I just did mine today.

Got the tips I needed on using the insulation strips! Thank you so much.

Thank you so much. I was too intimidated to buy one of these but now I’m not. I’m so glad I finally understand what that foam is for! And how great I can use this with a vertical window!

Amazingly comprehensive, thank you

Thank you Just A Dad! I don't have a father and have wanted to install one of these for a while. Air is blowing cold! 😊 Tip: It is easy to connect the hose connector to the window slider if you keep the top of the window open and use your hand to click the slider against the hose connector (instead of trying to push from the hose side, push on the other side of the slider.) Easy as air conditioner pie!

Nice video Thanks for sharing

great tutorial. definitely helped a lot.

Thank you so much!!! This was much easier to follow than the instruction manual!

Many thanks for the video which gives a good overview of what is involved in installing an AC. May I ask you a question. I have horizontal sliding windows that are only 17 inches tall. I will have to cut the window panel so that it fits. How would you cut the panel?

Does the taped foam on the edge of the window come off when you have to close it up for winter? Or do you just leave it? If you take it off does it come off cleanly?

I would recommend purchasing an extra roll of the thick black foam just in case. It's cheap and more should be included by the manufacturer. HINT HINT, WINK WINK, BLACK & DECKER.

thank you for this video.

I want to store mine. How can you remove the exhaust tubing from the unit?

I have a random question for you! My brother just gave me his old AC unit and I believe it is this one. He has replaced most of the pieces for it but we are missing the piece that connects the house to the AC unit. Do you happen to know how we could find that piece online to replace it? Nothing I have found looks close enough that I want to risk purchasing without being sure.

Thanks dad

Just to let you know if you followed this guy's instructions. He installed the plastic piece to the windows the wrong way. The plastic flap is to be facing you not outside, that is why he had to cut it saying it is too wide.

So where does the drain hose go after attaching it to the drain tube? Mine is used and I'm missing the drain hose. I will try to find a hose I can use but where does all that water go?

What is the internal diameter of the exhaust hose?

Thanks. I bought the 14,000 btu version and didn’t understand what the foam was for.

What’s the issue with ac unit. Maybe capacitor

I bought this for my garage so I could work during those Florida heat days.... does it matter if i dont run the exhaust hose? Will the unit over work since i plan on working with my garage door open and keeping the ac unit next to me for random cool downs.

Classic thermodynamics question. You're better off with a regular fan in this case. If you don't exhaust the exhaust air out of the room you are trying to cool then the room will actually get hotter and you'll just be wasting energy.

Thank you for this video, but I'm confused on the weather stripping part- does the sticky side go on the plastic or does it go on the window sill?

I put it on the plastic as that made the most sense as not to have sticky stuff on my windows since I’ll be removing this in a month or so but so far it’s not working well this way.

​​@@s.d.crockett486 I know this is 7 months late (sorry) but instructions say to stick it to the window sill. Also, I got the slider width first, and locked it, then it was already almost stable, then took slider out and put the strips on the window sill, and then put slider back, so the strips are really gripping it. Definitely takes away some of that "portability" aspect though 😂

I just bought the 10,000 BTU unit. I set it up correctly and tried it for about two weeks, after the initial 3 minute compressor delay, the cool air starts blowing. The cool air only blows for about 10-20 minutes, and then the compressor shuts down for some reason and the compressor wont turn back on for hours until I turn the unit on/off again. I was given advice to see if my house had the proper amperage or something? Do you have any ideas as to what may be the issue? It’s almost as if the compressor overheats and turns itself off but isn’t able to come back on unless i restart the unit. Thanks !

I don't think the wind insert is enough insulation. I'm just going to wrap the pipe with towels and stuff any voids because it's supposed to be temporary and cooling. Half my cooling is going out the window with this shady toy window insert. The bottom line is we're only trying to remove humidity.

You installed the plastic that is going to the windows the wrong way. Lol. That’s why you had to cut it. Saying it’s to wide. No the plastic you have is backward. Flip it around. The plastic lip is suppose to be facing you. That’s why it hard to get the vent piece to fit on. Lol. That’s why it’s not secure you have the plastic the wrong way.

Lol. So, this is common sense. The plastic that goes into the window. How are you putting the screws on? The plastic slide on the side with the lip part is supposed to be inside the house not going outside. The side with the lip facing you inside that is the correct way. You should not be cutting that part at all. The reason you say it is too wide is that you have it facing the wrong direction.

Horrible video; you show the exhaust bracket already installed in the window and how did you cut it to fit? WTF?
