Gorgeous window unit

I bought the larger one for my living room and the smaller one for the bedroom. They both look and work amazing. Set up was super easy and I love that I can control it from my phone. I also bought the teal color cover as it matches my color theme in my bedroom. It's definitely more quiet then conventional air conditioners. It hasn't been too hot her in CT but the few times I have used them it cooled things down quickly. The only thing I cant figure out is where and how to install the carbon filter. I scan the QR code on the filter and it doesn't take me to instructions for installation, it takes me to an order form to order more.

Great Unit But Not Made for Storm Windows.

The machine works wonderfully, it cools down my larger living room/dining room so well! However the "ease of install" is a bit deceptive for those of us in older homes. I didn't realize that I'd need to have extra pieces of wood to prop it in my windows UNTIL I opened the box and saw I was being directed to the support site for additional install instructions as I have storm windows. Along with needing to find small wood pieces to prop the front of the machine, the side panels left some gaping holes in the window from. Which, honestly, is fine as I'm used to having to add in some tape on other air conditioners. The unit works so well that I'm totally fine to overlook this, but having that information more upfront on the website would have left me more prepared.

Surprisingly Loud!

Look, it works well, it’s aesthetically pleasing, but I find it hard to believe their marketing materials that claim it’s been re-engineered from the ground up. At least at the highest fan setting (and lowest temperature) it is as loud as any other window unit its size, at about 63-67 decibels depending on the app. Which makes it really overpriced. The only reason I’m not returning it is the logistical pain that would probably involve.

Really good! Not perfect.

I bought this for my 6 month old son’s room. I knew it would be really helpful to have a system that could be controlled via my phone and also set up schedules. So far, that part has been AMAZING. Like, life-changing. I also liked the sleek design and that he could put his little fingers in the vents (like on a traditional window unit). I liked that it seemed fairly kid-proof. The only cons I have so far (after using it for a week): 1. it blows air out the top of the unit. Did I miss this somewhere? I had just assumed it would blow out the front like every other AC unit. The reason this isn’t ideal for us is because we have a blackout shade and it kind of blocks the air flow. 2. The temperature sensor on it is totally wacky. Our baby monitor also has a temperature monitor AND I have a heat reader tool and the Windmill machine often reads 10-12 degrees off (too cold). I wanted to set the AC to go on if it got to a certain temperature in baby’s room (74 degrees) but it would actually trigger at 62 degrees. I have absolutely no idea how this machine is reading the temperature of the room but it is very, very, very inaccurate. Would I buy another one? It stinks that the temperature sensor is so far off, but I do think I’d buy another one. It looks really nice. And I’m a sucker for things that look sleeker than more traditional counterparts.

5 stars for Windmill AC

After a whole summer, the Windmill window AC on economy setting, doesn’t run all the time and keeps the room at the set temperature just like having whole house AC. In October it gets stored in the closet so the windows seal up for Winter. I recommend Windmill ACs

Looks great - works great!

Looks great - works great! Easy to install. Love that it blows the air up and to the sides - not straight out at you. The app is wonderful - allowing me to start the cooling before I arrive. Very happy with my purchase. I wish there was a through the wall unit like this for my NY apartment.

Replaced an old window unit

Replaced an old window unit with a Windmill and honestly couldn't recommend it more to anyone looking for a new window AC unit. The kit that the unit comes with is amazing and really helps to keep the cold air inside, rather than escaping out plastic side panels that don't seal well. The app is great as well. My favorite feature is the kWh monitor, which shows you how much energy the unit is using (or isn't using, in the cast of eco mode) over time. I was pleasantly surprised that the cost wasn't much greater than most other brands you'd find at big box stores. Overall, would definitely purchase another one if I ever needed another unit replaced in my home.

Customer Service A++

Customer service is exceptional! As far as the product, I will review again after some time. I originally purchased a window unit and after two months it started malfunctioning like it had a mind of its own. Customer service was very responsive and made the process of shipping me a new unit it flawless. Here’s hoping the new unit does not malfunction.

Love our WM AC

We purchased the Windmill AC for 2 reasons. One, the location where we needed it was right behind our livingroom couch and a traditional AC vents right at you but the WM AC vents upward. This worked perfectly, we could sit near it without it venting on our neck and heads.. Two, the unit was advertised as quiet, it was and that allowed us to enjoy being cool without a lot of fan noise. One additional benefit that we found was the unit cooled a larger space than we expected. Where we used to need 2 AC we only need the one WM now. We did have a technical issue crop up and the support for this problem was phenomenal. They were professional, timely and friendly. Couldn't ask for better.

I love the look of

I love the look of the air conditioner. The install was very simple thanks to your detailed directions. BUT! It’s much louder than I expected. The only time it’s quiet is in the fan mode. All other modes come with a high pitched ring that is almost unbearable to me. So… not in love with this but also don’t want to deal with a return. Maybe there’s something wrong with this unit?
