My unit arrived in good condition. I got a neighbor to help move it from the car to the house and to do the final installation of the inner unit into the installation sleeve. Don't try to move this unit alone; it's not that heavy, but it's too wide for one person to lift.</p> <p>I found that the hardware and instructions were adequate, but I'm much more of a DIYer than average. I found a few faults with this design.</p> <p>The worst part of this job was sealing the installation to be reasonably air tight from inside to outside. We live in an area that gets hot in the summer and cold (below 0 F) in the winter, so I was appalled to find long 3/16" gaps at the top of the side curtains that are necessary to adjust the installation to a range of window openings. I spent a lot of time adding foam strips in various places to seal everything against air...</p>...
