Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Initial review: Received unit. Per others suggestions, I made my own window insert out of 3/4" plywood with the holes further separated. I then used window foam sealer to fill the gaps to the window frame and I caulked around the holes cut for the hose inserts to the plywood to be airtight to inserts. I covered the hoses with insulated hose covers from home depot, and fitted an filter in the air intake from outside. Whynter provided a carbon filter for the air intake going into condenser from inside air which is exceptionally thin and folded in half. At first I thought I only got half a filter till I realized it was folded. So, unfolded and inserted. Unit ran flawlessly first few nights keeping room cool. Updated review after day 3: Purchased Whynter air intake filter which clips into the unit before the air intake hose and provides an added screen. This is when I realized the clip in areas allow air leaks. No biggie on air intake but air removal then puts heated air into the flow of air going through carbon filter and being used for room cooling. A little bit of duct tape solved the problem. With these mods units is solid, quiet and fully efficient. I was previously trying an LG single hose unit from the Orange Big Box Store (name omitted) and there is a big difference. This unit cools room quicker, is more quiet and kicks on the condenser less since it is using only inside air to recirculate through coils rather than pulling all the air in and pushing half outside causing room to need air replenish from other hot rooms of house which are warmer. Highly recommend. Can upload pics of mods if I get and replies that request it but they are straightforward. Thanks
