A good start

The Windmill feels like a solid AC option from a still-learning/growing company. Pros: beautiful design, excellent assembly instructions, compatibility with voice assistants, lightning fast customer service. Cons: lacks a Dry mode, app can be a little clunky (I’d love it if they moved “Night Mode” to a more prominent place in the app). If the hardware or software are updated to address the minor cons in future iterations of the Windmill, it would change this from a good product to a great one.

Great product

We’ve had our Windmill AC for 2-3 weeks and so far we are very happy with the purchase. Windmill does live up to its reputation for the sleek design and is very quiet. Installation was easy but we couldn’t fasten the side panels into our window frames because we have metal window frames (this happens with all ACs we purchased before so not a Windmill specific problem).

The Windmill Air Conditioner

Wonderful! I love its stylish, clean lines and installation was a breeze! It cools the room so silently that I can't always tell if it's on. It also cools quickly and without a disturbing air flow; more a gentle movements into the room that is not at all disruptive. I love this air conditioner.

Nice looking and quiet Air conditioner!

This is a great nicely designed Air conditioner. Its quiet and does the job. Also it looks nice in the window and that's a bonus. Its also very easy to install! WIndmill has a great kit containing every thing you need including scissors! My favorite part is the connection to my google assistant, where I can ask google to turn the windmill on or off or set it a certain temp. I did contact customer support on a question, and they were great to work with a really helpful. Nice Air conditioner, Nice company. You won't be sorry if you buy one of these!!

Great AC, better customer service

I chose the Windmill 12k BTU over a cheaper, different brand 12k because of the direction of the airflow, and it's awesome and so worth it. It cools the room effectively without it being a jetstream of cold air in one direction (my window is nearly behind my couch, so past ACs have directed the blast at the back of my head). The first unit arrived and had a strange rattle in it, but we installed it anyway. Within a day it froze over with an inch of ice all over the insides. Contacted customer service and they responded super fast-- walked us through a few questions and quickly determined it was likely a damaged unit. Warrantee claim initiated, and a new unit arrived within a week. Honestly I couldn't believe how excellent the customer service was. If I need another unit for another room in my house, I'm going with Windmill because I know if any issues arise they will be taken care of promptly and efficiently. My only gripe is I wish there was a little more control within the app-- if set to "cool" the unit seems to keep cooling even as the room temp drops below the set value. It would be nice if it powered off and back on later, but maybe it switches to fan only and that's enough? It could be nice to link it with a different thermostat reading too, as it's interpretation of what temp the room is at seems a bit off when on eco or sitting idle. I imagine these things might get dialed in with some software updates. I'm also a big fan of actual buttons on the unit. If I can't find my phone I can still turn it on and choose settings and temps without any difficulty. All in all, love you guys. Great product, great company. Keep it up!

Loving both of our Windmill ACs

We have two Windmill Air Conditioners, the 6000btu and the 8000btu. Love them both. Very quiet and super easy to control using the app. We had an issue with one of them and customer service was awesome! Very quick to respond to take care of the issue and followed up to make sure things were right! Definitely recommend this company!

An excellent air conditioner

I've installed multiple window-mounted units and this one eliminates the initial setup steps that usually take 15 minutes. The unit replaced a 3-year old name brand AC which was very noisy. The Windmill whispertech 8000 BTU is remarkably quiet and is a vast improvement over the previous air conditioner. The ability to program its operation is a very useful enhancement.

The best purchase to keep cool… Windmill

I am the proud owner of the Windmill 8K with whisper tech. First the install was a breeze… everthing included in the box! I blends so well in the living room… Uber cool design. On the tech front, once plugged in and connected to WIFI… barely a couple of minutes… easier to use than an iPhone (which is so intuitive!) I have kept my unit on since I received it… I forget it’s on because it’s so quiet! I am so happy that I am getting another unit for our bedroom… want to be cool and need to be quiet to catch zzzzzz I am not paid by Windmill to comment… if a product is great … it has to be shared. Get one or more… you won’t regret it

I’m beyond impressed.

We loved our Windmill from the second we took it out of the box. Instructions were simple and clear. Installation was quick. We got the unit for the window of a shed that we’re using as a little homeschool room. I don’t need the space cooled 24/7, but I wasn’t sure how the unit would do with intermittent use. It’s been perfect. We turn it on when we go out there and the room is cool in a short amount of time—during a hot Texas summer. BEST PART: The unit stopped working. I tried everything. I reached out to customer service. They walked me through some steps. When we couldn’t get it working again, because it was still under the year warranty, they sent me a replacement. I’m floored that Windmill backs up the quality of their product this way. Next time I need an AC unit like this, Windmill is the brand I buy.

A Fantastic AC

I've owned a lot of different window air conditioners in my life, and Windmill's is by far the best. It's significantly quieter than any other unit I've ever used, looks great, and most importantly is incredibly effective at cooling our apartment (we have the 10k BTU model and our apartment is about 850 sq. ft). I also really appreciate that the air is vented vertically; I really feel like it allows for better circulation of the cool air. Lastly, the app is great; clean, simple, easy to use. Love our Windmill, would definitely recommend them to anyone in the market for a new window AC.
