UShaped ac units failed. This combined with woot - I give it a thumbs down. I hope fellow slickdealers listen.
That being said- the 10 year $99 AC units won't quit-
12000 BTU were 289 at Costco. Selected locations.
8000 BTU were 249 at both Home Depot & Amazon a week ago. Price may drop later again.

You do understand that the EPA keeps changing what Freon is allowed to be used these days and that has dramatically increased our HVAC costs because shops etc have to retool.
Very happy with mine yes it does pool water by design. I have it in the upper room of a cape cod house tons of hot roof right overhead and hot knee walls. It definitely puts out much more than prev. 6k btu model I had. Way quieter and love the inverter speed changing compressor
it can be the 2k btu I need on a cloudy day pulling 99watts. and boost up to full power on a sunny day.. all without cycling on and off.
Drilling a hole is pretty easy though. I did 3 per unit. My goal was to drill as far back towards the curve of the lip as possible as that would be the lowest point in a tilt but there are a lot of obstacles which made me push in the holes.
Still, after 1 year it's a fantastic window unit. Let's see how it holds up over the years.

I have three and two had this issue due to the install.
I work on cars. The whole auto industry has been changing from a refrigerant called r134a to a refrigerant called r1234yf for like the past 10 years. Most vehicles on the road still have 134a in them. You can buy 134a at the auto parts store for about 15 bucks a 12oz can right now, or you can get a 10 dollar can at Walmart. Walmart doesn't even have 1234yf, you can only get it at the auto parts store but it's like 60-70 bucks for a 12oz can.
I've looked in to why r1234yf is so expensive. From why I'm reading it's because it's more complex to manufacture, there's not generic brands out there either like there is for 134a. Now I guess you can read into this how you want, but I think it takes time for the price to come down, as it becomes more prevalent in cars I think we'll see more people manufacture it and the price come down. I think we'll also see the price for 134a rise as the price of 1234yf comes down, because it's what happened when r12 was phased out.
Just kidding! It's all a conspiracy by big refrigerant!
