I replaced a Maytag 8,000 BTU A/C for a Kenmore of the same output because it still is the end of the summer and we needed a new one. What a disappointment! It does not have the output of the Maytag. It is very noisy and does not cool the room like the other one did. Never again!
I use it in my bedroom to keep it cold when I sleep and it works great

I bought this to keep down energy bills.

The AC's performance seems to work well with the inlet air temperature being very cool when set low. The PROBLEM I encountered was a missing piece of foam insulation barrier outside of the fan housing. I didn't notice the foam piece missing until I had spent nearly 1/2 of my day removing the old unit, recutting the size of the opening in my bedroom wall and installing the unit and trimming pieces of newly bought 1"X3 finish lumber to frame and dress the exterior and interior walls. After the installation and after cleaning up - just before sundown, I noticed "daylight" entering through the right side of the air vents of the AC. On inspection, I realized a large piece of foam (3" X 5") was missing. I haven't had the time to remove and take back to Sears for a replacement. I'll let you know how the next unit works once I have the time to R&R.

My daughter is happy with it.

good item to cool small room
Lakeland, FL
First off the noise everybody is complaining about is the fan blade picking up water to cool the evaporator coil fins. It's by design to use less energy. Don't like ? Another 8k will be bigger heaver and use more energy. This unit is about as small as a 5k unit of old. Comes with side panels. has plastic fan shroud which may break in the sun. For the money I like it. Cools good. I never have luck with dinky 6000 btu units.
