For any window air conditioner in a horizontally sliding window, you'll have to fill in the gap above unit. Takes a bit of work but it's do-able if you have time/tools/determination.

I have a window that moves sideways (not up and down). Is there a workaround to use these units? TIA

Got the 8000 btu - much larger and heavier than I thought! Installing on a 2nd floor window so hopefully it doesn't damage the window sill and/or siding!

Not that I am aware of. I would get a casement window unit.

I believe you can purchase things to "convert" the window, but it ends up being pretty pricey.

I have one window like that and hand built a frame of 1x2s and a piece of plexiglass. Works great. Painted the frame with leftover white paint that matches the existing window frame. Looks like a regular window frame. To clarify, I slide one of existing windows to the left and put this frame into the space on the right side.

I put this frame and a small 5,000 btu window a/c unit in a small room with no ventilation ducts that normally got really hot in the summer. Typically I put everything in the window in early May and yank it out again in mid October. Literally takes ten minutes to do. If I were lazier, I'd just leave it up year round. Got the a/c in a Target clearance for about $30. That and about $10 in materials make the room freezer cold in the hottest days of summer. I also use foam insulation around the perimeter. Keeps cold air in and bugs out. Very air tight.

Great and thanks.
How about a picture or a link to it, please? I do have a problem in the sense I am living in a rental house to make too many mods (but I went ahead and installed a solar system with panels on the backyard) but the existing central AC is sone 20 years old and I live in Tucson, AZ and the last year and my first one was horrible.

We normally only need AC here for about 14 days total in a 3-4 month period between mid-summer through early fall. Any reason you think to get this Midea unit (weighs ~60 lbs) vs a cheap 5000btu window unit (weights ~35 lbs)? I would plan to take the AC unit in and out similar to what it sounds like you are doing in a regular vertical sliding window... not sure much energy gains if not using it that frequently.

if you plan to take it off and on, then this window unit isn't for you. a rolling unit would be better for you as long as you're ok with less efficiency. if rolling, go for dual hose at least.

If there is I really hope it does heating also. There is a similar u shaped unit from another company but the u drapes over the wall instead of window that does heating. There are pass through inverter units that do heating. I never understood why they didn't make this model heat/cool. Would have been awesome.

I had bay windows and I made a flex glass mount for the window. Not sure if that the best for your situation.
