What reviewers didn't like

Uses lots of energy so you can expect your electric bill to go up.
Installation Is Slightly Difficult – You will have to take the AC out of the shell to install it.
This unit is quite heavy, so it will be helpful to have an extra person to help install it. Some prefer to have it professionally installed by a handyman.
It is very heavy.
At 85 pounds it is heavy which might make it a bit difficult to install without some professional help.
The fan speed is a little slow to change, requiring 5 to 10 seconds to switch once selected. However, the speeds don’t seem to differ much from each other. Though some may see this as a con, it’s part of what makes the AC unit so quiet. If you happen to use this as an add-on to a trailer, you might have to find some sort of solution to the lack of included back-grille to protect against debris and bugs when in motion.
It is very expensive.
It's downside is that it is too heavy.
