not the easyest to install. screws for top bracket were not fat enough. I had the same issue with a goldstar a/c i bought about 3 years ago. I had to go to lowes and buy short fat screws. you have to remove the case to install this a/c not that hard to do. just takes time.
works good. quiet. Some people say its cheaply made but its no worse then the other brands on the market. top screws to atach the bracket are not fat enough need shorter fat screws or drill in new holes with the case off. I had to go and buy larger screws. I also have an goldstar a/c and had the same issue the screws were to small to attach the top bracket. you have to remove the case off this a/c to install it. need to remove a screw under the filter and a screw on the right side to remove the front, then there are two plastic tabs you got to move to remove the controls from the front. the controls remove out the front of the front, then you have to turn the controls sideways to remove them. lay that off to the side. you will fine a screw on each side of the a/c it needs to be removed. you will find two screws in the lower bottom corners in the back. remove them. now with the a/c laying on the floor you will see a handel on the front of the a/c. it's at the bottom. you can pull the insides of the a/c out. after its out. then you can install the side window fill pannels. you have to side the flex part into the end of the plastic peace. make sure you have the right ones so the screw face the inside of the a/c from the folding flap window filler. once you have these installed on both sides and the top bracket on. you can now put the frame into the window. leave the inside guts of the a/c on the floor. put the frame in the window and put the window down on the a/c frame. ajust were you want the a/c to sit. pull the two side fold out window fillers into place. now you use 3 of the longer screws into the bottom of the a/c. they go into the lower part of the window frame. then take screws and screw in the window fill pannels. top and lower corners. the scew holes of the window filler pannels should be facing inside. after its all in you can now pick up the insides of the a/c. they slide back into the case. you can now reinstall the two side screws you removed. next go outside and screw in the two back screws. If its on a 2nd floor use a ladder. Any higher then that you may want to leave them out. come back inside and make sure to use the proper cord cut out. Ether to the right or under the a/c. I had to use the side one with my old house.(woodwork was in the way.) line everything up. make sure you have the manual vent switch lined up or it may brake. also turn the controls sideways and move them threw the front of the a/c now push them back into place you should hear them click. after thats installed now you can push the front back into place. reinstall the one screw in the front and reinstall the screw to the right. plug in a/c and hit the reset switch. next turn on the a/c. all you have left to do is install the battery into the remote. It's not as easy as some to install but with the way it screws into place you dont have to worry about someone moving it out of the way to brake into your house.
This isn't a good one if you want to remove it every winter. Your better off to get an a/c cover to cover it. none wants to put new screw holes into their windows every year.
What's great about it: price and its quiet
What's not so great: harder to install
I would recommend this to a friend!
