I was hesitant to purchase this unit because of the lack of reviews, but based on the positive reviews of the company's other units on amazon I went ahead and purchased it on Saturday. The unit arrived on Monday with two day shipping and it took about an hour and a half to install. Be warned that installation is a two person job. The unit easily exceeds a hundred pounds and installation is not as straightforward as a smaller window unit.
Installation instructions are a bit confusing. It seems that whoever wrote them wanted to include all the details, but this is done at the expense of clarity. For example, the manual says to attach the side panels to the cabinet, but doesn't specify in which direction to place the screws. It becomes obvious once you think about it, but this is one of the details they fumbled. Otherwise, pictures are included and the parts were all labeled. FYI for anyone worried about minimum window height (which is advertised as being 18.5"), my window vertical opening was exactly 18.5" and I had no problems with installation. I wouldn't advise anyone with a smaller opening to purchase this unit, however.
During installation you can see and feel the quality of the parts. You don't get the feeling that they skimped on anything to save money, and the unit just feels very sturdy overall.
As soon as the unit was powered on, I was surprised with its overall strength. This is supposed to cool a living/dining area and kitchen (total about 750sq ft) in a very sunny part of the house, and it had no problem cooling to 74 on a 100 degree day with the low fan setting. Fairly quiet for its size, too. There is a very faint rattling noise once in a while, but nothing too bothersome.
I only took off one star for the installation instructions, but I am very happy with the unit itself, and wouldn't hesitate to purchase it again, especially considering the price compared to other brands.

This air conditioner works fantastic and is quiet. I would highly recommend this air conditioner to anyone who would like a great bargain for this price. 18,500 btu's is pretty powerful, but you do have to have 220 outlet. Luckily, my son is an electrician so he installed the outlet in about 1/2 hour.Best Deals on SPT 18,500 BTU Window AC with Energy Star

After careful consideration and lots of research, we selected this unit to replace an existing wall unit that failed. The first shipment was damaged, in fact, there was freon on the bottom of the package. Amazon was great and getting a second unit out quickly and that unit arrived without damage.AC unit has been installed now for 1 month and we are impressed. At 90F no issues with cooling our entire downstairs and keeping it at 70F. Only reason I gave 4 stars is due to shipping damage or else would have given a 5.
Would recommend.
