Using the Windmill AC

The Windmill was very easy to install by myself(took less that a 1/2 hour). The design is nice and clean and it quickly cools my bedroom. The controller is simple to use and easily understandable. The unit is a tad bit noisier than I would have liked. But, overall, it is a keeper and I am pleased with it.

Best window air conditioner by a LOT!

This is the best window air conditioner I've ever owned. I purchased the 10,000 BTU model and it does a much better job of cooling the same space that the GE 12,000 BTU model it replaced. Not only that, but it is sooooo quiet. Its quiet in a way that you would not imagine is possible for a window unit. Finally, it has the easiest installation ever, and it literally comes with everything you need.

App is horrible

The app automations just don't work at all about 1% of the time. It works great until it just... totally ignores the rules that were set. Just now I encountered a new problem, the app wouldn't communicate with the unit at all. I tried to manually set it to fan mode because the automation didn't work, and the app insisted it changed to fan mode, but the ac unit itself was still in cool mode. The ac itself works fine but I'm very angry about the spaghetti code app.

Very loud

It looks good, and cools well. We also have three of the smaller size units in bedrooms; those have all been great. But the large one is SO LOUD and rattles constantly. I sprung for the more expensive “whisper quiet” model. Definitely not quiet at all, and definitely not worth the money.

Powerful unit

I'm impressed with the power of this unit. It replaced a very no-name department store air conditioner of supposedly similar power, but this new one is a beast. I live in a very small, old, one storey home, so we just use two window units to cool the place. It's noticeably more comfortable and quieter than the old unit. I am actually able to set the thermostat on it to 74 instead of 68.

Quiet and looks nice

The Ac is quieter than anything else that I have owned. The installation is as time consuming as any other window AC. The side brackets are ok but can only be used once as you have to cut them with the scissors to make them fit re-installing them would not work.

It has been the best

It has been the best investment I have made. My living room is sizable but it manages to cool the entire area. It was easy to fit into my window. The design of it is super sleek and being able to control the temperature from the app is awesome. Would highly recommend!

I love it! Especially that

I love it! Especially that the air is blown upwards so i don't always catch a chill when using it! I l also love the eco settings that allow it to automatically switch to fan at times to save energy!! I love that i can program it on my phone so i don't have to get up out of bed to switch it on or off! And i love that the refrigerant that is used is more eco friendly than others! I'm telling all my friends about this unit!

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.

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.
