I have an LG regular cabinet Dual Inverter 10k window air. I've researched GE Profile Clearview (Clearviews are the saddle units) and the Midea U's. I think GE Clearview's 2 lowest BTU models are not inverter units, while the larger ones are. Either way, the saddle design requires a pump to raise the condensation of the inside part so it can flow outside to drain. Reading comments shows these pumps DO fail, so vigilance is required.

For horizontal sliding window, like mine, you would have to make a new glass window which is shorter in height than the original sliding door. Or a clear plastic one made at Mr. Plastics. But remember that there will be no security.

Based on the reviews on Amazon, I would be concerned. It would be nice if you made an update video one year later about it's performance.

A classic oil-filled electric space heater is WAY more efficient, quiet, and affordable. These are the stand-alone units that look like radiators.

2 fan motors instead of just one as found in a standard window rattler. A condensate pump is needed to get the water over "hump" to get it outside. More parts...more electricity needed...more points of failure.

Ай бұрын

I believe those might be called casement windows. Did you see Jay's video about how to fit a portable air conditioner (the stand on the floor type) into a sliding glass door opening? I wonder... could Jay's technique work for a casement window? Just thinking out loud, I might get a piece of birch wood, cut to fit the window, and cut again to fit the hose and it's attachment. You'd have to have a way to attach the birch to the window with an eye toward safety. I mentioned Birch because it's lighter and tougher than plywood, and much more weather tolerant. I hope this is a reasonable idea, and I hope you could make it work for you in a safe way. Best of luck.

I do like this design but the only problem I see for me would be the outside filter because I wouldn’t be able to reach it from my second floor.

When I installed mine really quiet. 1 week later the outside compressor started being loud and causing an annoying vibration on the I side cabinet. Got the Midea 8000 btu it is super quiet so far can't even tell when the compressor cycles on and off. e

Question: the GE saddle Style description says it is non inverter. The Madea u-shape says it has inverter. What does that mean to me as a consumer, and how do you feel about that difference?

@WordofAdviceTV

Ай бұрын

If you select the larger sizes, 10,000 BTU+ then it comes as an inverter unit. ( amzn.to/4bpJqlA ) If the air conditioner will be used a lot, then an inverter would be a good idea. It's a bit quieter and is more energy efficient. If the unit will not be used too often, then I would rather not pay extra to have the inverter.

Yes, a locked up fan motor can cause the fuse to blow. It is possible for the compressor to have gotten damaged but from my experience, that rarely happens. Usually compressor is just fine.

Only thing that needs work is the draining. If you're on a higher floor, how are you supposed to easily remove that drain plug? You can't... and then you have to tilt it which is always a risk.

What's old is new again. This design was done in the 1960's by ComfortAire and it was popular then and very quiet unit. Is amazing that it took China so long to copy it and put it on the market for sale. I will say this, that this unit will not last more than 5 years before breaking down and headed for recycling.

Nice AC unit...the only problem with window units in windows that are low to the ground is that it makes it easy to break into your house....those window locks to keep the window from sliding up do nothing if someone was to just twist and pull on the AC to remove it from the window. I use window units in my rooms where the window is too high to climb thru but with my other windows that are close to the ground I use those rollable portable units where only a thin hose tray is in the window and it's quick and effortless to remove that hose tray from the window and lock the window when you leave the house.

Hi there! 🙂

I had one of those Midea ones and liked it a lot, gave it to my gram when I moved. This saddle shape seems even better. Now if only they'd make a C shaped one for windows that open sideways. It might not need a bracket either, just support it with those adjustable feet inside and out. Could do a min-split instead, but those are expensive and hard to move/remove when you're done. These window units can move with you.

1 BAD Caveat. The inside portion sticks out farther from the window than the old style. Say a bed up against the wall / window will have to placed further away. Sometimes 8 - 10 inches more.

That water is supposed to hit the coil!!!

why can't you make a window ac like the through the wall ac with no vents on top or sides need window ac that don't have vents on top or sides so we can use are screen when installing through window we can't use are screens because we can't block the vents pulling the screen down to the top of ac then we can block the sides at with insulation or a panel like the front curtain to keep bugs out of are windows

Dont buy, Within one year the outside looked terrible from all the rust. It pumps water from inside to outside is noisy and prone to fail.

Also, with a used one I wouldn't know if rodents had ever made a nest in there, and chewed wires and tubes. I certainly wouldn't want that smell either.
