I'm trying to put air conditioning in my master bedroom. It has a loft and hence high ceiling with around 500 sq ft + 350 (loft). It is also on the third floor which is pretty high. As far as I can tell there are 3 options. split a/c, portable unit and window a/c. Split a/c is expensive and portable units probably not good enough/reliable etc. so I'm leaning towards window a/c. Anyway, this is just a background story to what I'm trying to ask. I happen to see this on my neighbor's window which looks like a window a/c unit. It seems pretty thin but I'm unable to find anything like that anywhere. Could anyone tell me from the picture below if this is a window a/c unit and if so, what could it be? Its at the bottom of the right window that doesn't extend outside much, almost the same level as that of the window. It's a vent for a portable air conditioning unit, and stop looking in my windows! The other side of it would look like this:Those living in apartments or homes without central air have to come to terms with ugly, boxy air conditioners hanging out their windows.

It's either that, or be roasted alive in the summer. But it doesn't have to be that way, not when LG is somehow packing air conditioners into these ultra-slim housings that hang on your wall like artwork. In fact, LG's aptly-named Artcool Stylist Inverter V air conditioner features subtle LED lighting that adds to the appeal, and by changing colors it lets you know if the unit is actively cooling or heating a room. At just under five inches thick it's less obtrusive than existing wall-mounted AC units, and since you don't need to run plumbing lines to deal with excess condensation, installation is a lot easier. Cool or warm air blasts from three different sides of the air conditioner so that it more efficiently fills a room, and the unit comes with a slick wireless remote that uses a 3.4-inch touchscreen for setting the temperature and tweaking the brightness and color of the LED lighting. It will be available sometime this month and while pricing hasn't been revealed just yet, given its size it probably won't be much more expensive than the box you already precariously hang in your open window.

Quiet, efficient, and its low profile gives me a better view out the window. At first I loved this unit because it was compact and quiet (though the air flow is weak so it takes longer than normal air conditioners to cool down a room), however in 3 years it...

3 yrs. old and I'm dealing with a unit that is heavily contaminated with MOLD. I've owned many AC's and this is the first time this has happened. It is, as-advertised, much shorter than most a/c units. However, the vents point straight up (up the hot window) with very little wriggle room to direct the air flow into the... I love the low profile and slightly sleeker look, but I don't like how the controls are on the top of the unit. Our cats sit on top and press the buttons, changing the settings. Our handyman, a very clever fellow, figured out a way to fit this A/C into a narrow horizontal basement window. It's size and configuration make this air conditioner easy to install and uninstall. I don't use any brackets to hold it in place; just a jam to keep the top window in tightly down... It is not as big vertically but it sticks out into the room more which interferes with furniture more and it blows air straight up which sends the air behind my room-darkening...
