Kenmore 10,000 BTU Single Room Air Conditioner —
I have to admit, I'm really surprised by all the 5-star reviews. To be honest, the unit does cool extremely well. However, the build on this unit is just too cheap to imagine the unit lasting for more than a two or three years. The front cover snaps on and the prongs used for the snap are very easily broken. Considering this unit weighs about 90lbs, it should be built for a little more wear and tear. Also, the units assembly is not the easiest. It took about 45 minutes to build and install the AC. Not too bad, except that when all was said and done, the unit made a grinding noise. If you would apply pressure to the case, the grinding noise would stop, but when you relieved the pressure it would start right back up. Needless to say I returned this unit and bought a Frigidaire 10'000 BTU air conditioner. Took 10 minutes to install and feels like a solid piece of equipment.
