Very good deal for those who can't find one locally due to this summer's heat wave.

Not special for those who still can pick up one locally.

Ps, I get a chuckle out of the customer reviews at CC's web site. Don't these people grasp what this size A/C can and can't do??? Duh!

not consumer reports, but they still got it right

Kenmore 75051 5,300 Btu

GE AGM06LJ 5,950 Btu

GE AGM08LJ 8,000 Btu

Kenmore 75101 10,000 Btu

GE AGM12AJ 12,000 Btu

Sorry guys , I don't knw much about these stuff , but will these have to be put in a window so the vent or a pipe goes out or some thing???

will this work on a slide across window? most of the units are made for the
top down windows.

Thanks for your reply.
From your reply sounded like it will be cheaper to replace the window

I guess it means that it just doesn't have any digital buttons or anything like that

Thanks, OP! I was looking for a small A/C that could run on my generator (it being hurricane season and all). Plus got some other things I needed like the 512MB Ram and other rebate deals. I got price up little over $199 so took advantage of 10% off CC coupon + 2% (FatCash). After all rebates, I would will receive $250.94 (not incl. tax) worth of products for only $135.65 (incl. tax)

HI All

I purchased this unit at Circuit City about 3 weeks ago. It really keeps my bedroom cold. Keep in mind this is a 5200 btu unit and will only work in a small room efficiently. My bedroom is only 10 x 10. The unit isnt very well made though. Eventhough it was rated the number one by consumer reports.
The louvre system is very cheapo. It will only move left to right. No up and down. But, that how all small air conditioning units work. Contrary to what consumer reports will have u believe this is a noisey unit. Its can be quite startling when the compressor kicks on or off.

By the way, this air conditioner is made by LG Electronics. This same unit is distributed by other manufacturers but with slightly different face plates and buttons. The week after I purchased this unit I went to Sears and purchased their Sears/Kenmore version for 69.99. Its model 74054. Last years model. This years model was 90.00. I like the Sears model because the color actually matches my blinds. The GE model is a funky lookin taupe. However the vent on the Sears kinda rattles.

These consumer magazines are supposed to be experts. I find it ironic that they rated the same units differently eventhough with a lil closer inspection anyone can see they are the same units. I checked the part numbers on my units with different brands and they match. This unit is manufactured under the Goldstar label too but it place down in the middle of the pack. (The Sears model though was rated right behind the GE.)

Another thing i found out is that for some reason the models with electronic controls and timers arent as cold as the ones with manual controls. I returned a Frigidaire, a Fedders and Sears kenmore because they couldnt come close to the units with manual controls.

The Ge and Sears Kenmore units have a spacers on the bottom of their units that are like hooks. If U have Aluminum sliding windows u can kinda hook these to the aluminum frame to keep the unit from falling out. Then cutting a piece of plywood out to fit the air conditioner through. Thats what i did.

Sorry for the ramble

No. You need a casement unit for that... plan on big bucks.

I just installed one in a slide across window this past weekend. You'll just need to cut a piece of plywood to fill the voids and mount it to that.
Can you post a pic?
