Looks like the window Air conditioner unit will be on the next coupon book. I may buy one now and just ask for a price adjustment unless anyone has had trouble in the past asking for a refund?

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.

What's not being mentioned is on some double hung windows there is a metal frame on the exterior which hold the sliding storm windows and screens in. That frame, at least on mine, is relatively high as compared to the base of the window. It's at least 1.5" higher than the base of the window.
What occurs then is the AC wants to tilt in towards the house, rather than tilt outside for proper drainage. Also, the AC is sitting on that very narrow metal storm/screen window frame.
Putting the cut 2x4 in the window bottom ( to the inside of the metal storm window frame) solves that problem and you can get proper tilt. It's also a much more solid footing as now the base of the ac isn't just resting on that tiny strip of metal frame and the back portion of the window. It's supported all the way. It just makes the entire install a LOT easier.
I watched a YouTube video before installing the first year and the guys install went MUCH easier …why….because he had different windows. He didn't have that exterior mental framework that's
higher than the base of my windows.
Different windows have different scenarios.
Just putting it out there in case anyone else has similar.
I get what you're saying, I've seen storm windows like that and the second set of tracks even though I've never personally had them. If it's working, great, but nobody should have to do what you did to get it to work, in fact because of the base that midea includes your A/C shouldn't really be "sitting" on the sill at all it should be wedged between the outside tracks and the feet of the base should be pushing against your house so when everything is positioned correctly it could (although I'm sure most people don't do this) "float" above the sill. Now you would have an issue with sealing and would have to put down a thick strip of foam along the sill to fill the gap but it should work without drilling.
At the end of the day if it's your house and the window A/C is a (semi)permanent install then drill away, same if you're on a high floor where pedestrians could walk underneath, but if not most people should be able to do a drilless install.

Yes, the three sets of windows you had no problem installing them on didn't have the same set up I have where I did have the problem.
There was definitely an issue with the feet of the base not resting against the side of the house even adjusted to the closest pins, they wouldn't reach. Believe that was solved with the 2x4. Going from memory here….so assuming it also has to do with that angle that gets solved by installing the cut 2x4 in the window bottom.
I don't recall mentioning using a drill in prior post. We do use one to install L brackets up on the window to prevent the window from being able to be lifted in an effort to prevent break ins.

Any experts out there can tell me whether I can use window a/c units as through the wall? We bought a house where the previous owner converted the carport into a room and built a hole for the current a/c unit. It's pretty old and grimy so I was thinking it'd be good to buy in advance anyway. I'm in Florida--that thing is going to be run 24 hours if only to regulate humidity.

I have both the LG 8k and Midea U 8k, the Midea U is way better. This deal for the Midea 12k there is no comparison. The only reason to get the LG would be if your window cannot accommodate the U shaped unit for some reason.
As long as the LG is power efficient and not super loud, should be fine.

The LG is only slightly louder than the Midea U, which is to say the LG is still very quiet. The LG cools a small room very well, but struggles with a large room where the Midea U 8k does not. The LG does not come with a bracket like the Midea U does, so you'll need to buy one separately.
