lite weight, quiet when running, comes with vinyl slide out pannels for left and right sides, easy install in 36 inch wide window opening, plug into any 110 volt outlet, uses about 4 amps, the front pannel below the air outlet folds down on hinges for easy filter access. perfect to cool one room all the time, or keep in garage and use when the central air breaks down on friday and parts aren't available until monday. one cool room is better than no cool room. home depot has it under their housebrand of hampton bay for eighty five dollars with a five year warranty. keep cool.

I purchased this window air conditioner at a Southern California Walmart in July, 2003 for $125. After lugging it home, I installed it in my bedroom(15X15)window. It worked well during that summer, but now (June, 2004) it no longer cools sufficiently it has become more like a window fan. I cycled it off and on every month during the past winter (Southern California style)as advised in the included instruction manual. The manual states a one year free maintenance guarantee, but doesn't tell you about the $50/hour diagnostic charge levied by their affiliated independent service organization. I am very disappointed with this Goldstar unit, and would definitely not purchase another. I previously owned a GE 5000 btu model and it was much more durable.

Let me ask all the readers out there an important question. How many times have you taken your air conditioner out of your window come October or November, and when you put it back in May or June, plug it in and turn it on, you discover that it's no longer capable of blowing cold air? This seems to happen ALL the time with Goldstar air conditioners. When it does happen, the AC is done so you're better off getting another one. A hot summer such as the one we Americans are experiencing this year in 2012 can be downright *brutal* and... it happened to me just last week with the kitchen air conditioner. My oh my is it mighty hot in here, especially when it's 4 in the afternoon, cooking on the stove, 100 smoldering degrees outside and no wind blowing whatsoever. Not a pleasant situation to find yourself in...

I give this model 4 stars because it works for up to 5 years at least, but when it STOPS working there will be no warning signs ahead of time. You've been warned.

I would say this product is super sturdy. Each summer, I remove it from storage and jamm it in my bedroom window for extra cooling. /peak shaving and it works and works.. perfectly since 2004. my texas summers are 104 F.

this darn thing is nt showing any signs of aging.. saving me a ton. as I dont use my central AC in the night ( why cool the entire home) when I use the bedroom only for 9 hours

Was a good deal when I purchased the small window a/c, and cooled nicely for about 1.5 years. Now, it doesn't cool at all.
