I drilled no holes and the thing can't go anywhere. It's easier than any other AC I've used and I have zero fears of dropping it out the window
Honestly confused why anyone thinks this is difficult to install especially compared to conventional styles. And especially considering how much smaller and lighter this type is
not sure what would make it a pain to uninstall though. the install for us was 10x easier than a traditional ac since it has a built in stand.

Edit: Clarified that I have have the 12,000 BTU unit that's posted in this deal.
The problem with oversizing older non-inverter based units is that they're basically on or off.. so if you oversize them, they'll frequently cycle between on/off and that's not really good for the AC, or your sanity.
Not really with an Inverter-based AC unit like this; they'll simply modulate down as needed (running quieter, consuming less power).

Personally, I don't regret having gone for the 12k though, because like I said in my earlier post... it can basically handle keeping my entire house tolerable and effectively eliminates central AC usage, which means I spend much less money to stay comfortable.
Year over year my electricity bills were down 100-150kwh a month in the summer.
The installation is a little tricky but take care to do a good job to make it easier for the next year.

On your comment about heat/AC, I assume you're talking about a heat pump? I don't have experience with a window unit with a heat pump, but I have split units with heat pumps and they're fantastic… been working for years now, in less than optimal conditions (pig houses), through NY summers and winters.
