I spray about 1/3 bottle of hydrogen peroxid($1 at most places) at the inside fins to clean any mold or bacteria issues. Frequency depends on how humid your environment is, but I do it once a month in Dallas, Texas during the months I use them. Dilute with water if you don't need it that strong.
I haven't had any mold issues with mine either. You just want to make sure and set the support bars so the unit is sloped just a degree or two downwards so that condensed water does in fact gravitate towards the outside, where it can drain. If you really want to, you can drill a hole or two in the bottom of the unit to assist with drainage, but I haven't had the need.

These units are so far superior to older AC technology.....it's an absolute game changer.

What I REALLY wish is that they would discount the units that have heat pump capability. I have two of them as well and would buy one more. It's amazing the amount of heat they can put out per watt, as compared to resistive space heaters.
I've got a 8000 BTU unit that I've been using for two summers and a 12000 BTU that I've had for one summer, and I think they're great. My central AC runs far, far less often, so my electricity bill had been noticeably lower despite the summers getting hotter.
It is predicted to be in the mid to upper 80's already next week down here in south Texas. I hope I don't have to install them already.
Mold? I didn't have any issues with that. On humid days, the AC can pull enough water out of the air that the water pools up in the outside portion of the AC. Some people would drill drain holes in the unit, but I just folded up a paper towel into a strip and tucked it between the fins and the case so it wicks the excess water out of the unit and into a bucket or onto a thirsty plant. Works great.

Before you guys buy one of those, you should go read the reviews(and watch the one linked video).

Most are about a mold issue stemming from their defective drain holes.

I've got one of these, and it's simple to just drill a couple 1/4" holes in the bottom of the outside portion. I've actually had to do it with a number of window units over the years. The bigger issue is that these absolutely need to sit for a couple hours for the refridgerant to settle before trying to run them.

Anyone remember what the prices were like for these last year @ costco & HD during the summer? Hope Costco carries them again this year.

Does bacteria affect the an AC's fan performance or is it just to prevent anything nasty from being blown into the home?

I have been looking for one that has an heat pump option, what ones do you have? Thank you.

I've had to clean mine once a year to eradicate mold. By clean I mean take off 20 screws, 5 wire connectors, disinfect/dishwash blower wheel, disinfect and brush indoor coil….not fun. The indoor coil does not properly drain to the outside no matter how much you tilt it.

The design is interesting and innovative but I would personally find alternatives unless the window seal/access feature is very important.

I just checked. Pretty certain I got a 12k BTU last May for $320 at Costco so this is a good deal. 12k is more than I need though so going to grab the 8k
