If i could've gotten a window unit i would have it. But i can't, so i settled for this. It does the job. The few problems though is with the exhaust pipe. Its too small, and easily slips off the back of the unit. Also the Adjustable bar doesn't fit thru the window. Probably the apt fault though since this a Pre Depression building.
Instruction booklet is lacking, but it tells you what you need to know.
Other than that its worth the cost.

For slightly larger areas of about 250 square feet, this Amcor unit seemed to do the trick for us. I know a few users posting at Amazon.com gave this AC a poor overall rating, but it worked fine for our purposes. We were using it to spot cool our bedroom in our condo. The venting was easy to figure out and it did a nice job of keeping us comfortable in this heat wave. Although it's not as pretty as some of the other portable air conditioners out there, we were mostly concerned with its cooling ability. The full thermostat control and air filters and castors were nice.

Good value for the money - shop around Amazon for it because you'll get a pretty decent deal by comparison shopping.

Before I even open the box, it was all reaped up!It came with two broken wheels and I had to tape all around to keep it in one piece. The fan seems to work pretty well, but the cooling system does not exist. The blown air does not get cold. This is the worst thing I ever bought!I can not believe i paid shipping US$80 just for a piece of crap!

After 12 hours of operation I found this unit to be the costliest
mistake since my divorce 13 years ago. It is currently 88 deg F outside;
the best this unit will do is drop the inside temp to 85 deg F ... in a
room with all windows closed and approxiamtely 260 sq ft. area. The
exhaust hose radiates almost as much heat as the cold air it discharges
into the room. In other words it appears to be fighting itself. I
replaced a small (5,000BTU) window unit which would easily bring the
indoor temp down 20 deg below the outside ambient. Hard to believe this
(supposedly) 12,000BTU gadget works full time for a 3 deg differential.
I find it disgusting that anyone could ask $400.00 for such a worthless
item.
