Windmill - WhisperTech 8,000 BTU Smart Window Air Conditioner with Inverter Technology - White

I've had the Windmill WhisperTech 8K BTU Smart Window AC for 2 months now, could not be more pleased. I ordered with ease online at Best Buy. Arrived on time. It is packed to perfection similar to Apple products. Well-written installation manual. The unit is good looking, it looks like an expensive flush mounted speaker once installed, sleek and beautiful. Installation took about 45 minutes. You need two people, primarily just to steady into the window for safety reasons. You do the entire installation from inside the window. No need to go outside. If you are on the 40th floor downtown, no problem. It comes with attractive side panels and insulation for an attractive "custom" professional fit. The Smart Phone app works perfectly to operate the unit from anywhere. Very quiet. Pushes cold air out beyond the room installed in. Easy to clean the filter about twice per month with a rinse of warm water. The attractive front grill comes off easily and can be custom painted with non-toxic paint to match your decor. My unit is in a bedroom and close to the head of the bed (see photos). The air disperses at a 45 degree angle so you don't have the cold air blowing directly on you. No worry about this unit blowing circuit breakers, as it only draws about 6 amps. It's "Energy Star" certified, which may qualify for a rebate with your electricity provider. 15 SEER rating. I'm already saving 25% on my electric bill and just got started. I have a Central AC unit that struggles to cool the west side of my home in the afternoon and early evening in June, July & August in Oklahoma. This unit solved that problem immediately. Customer service is also outstanding. I have emailed their customer service with a couple of questions and both times received an answer within 15 minutes. Trust me, I researched every window AC unit thoroughly for two months before this purchase. Windmill beats all others. Comparable in price to other units or slightly higher. It's worth it. Totally worth it. You will be so happy and have peace of mind and thankful when you lower your energy costs.

This is hands down the best and most beautiful air conditioner I have ever owned. I installed it myself, emphasis on myself, although I do recommend following the safety manual’s advice and using two people. It is whisper quiet, my plants barely noticed it turned on, and the design actually adds to the room instead of making it look like a tech warehouse. I love the three smart modes, Fan, Cool, and Eco, and how easy it is to schedule everything in the app. I set mine to run fan-only at night, Eco in the morning, and Cool during the midday heat. As a bonus, I even scheduled around my city’s peak electricity hours (5 to 9 PM) and my summer bill only went up about $4. The convenience is fantastic, too. I can use the physical remote when I’m nearby or adjust settings from anywhere in my home using the mobile app. That is comfort with conscience and smart design. Thank you, Windmill, for finally making an AC that is both brainy and beautiful. Highly recommend!

Unit was easy to install and has performed well temps high here many Days over 100 degrees keeps small bedroom cool. Unit runs quiet when in evo mode it sounds like a helicopter.

The Windmill - WhisperTech 8,000 BTU was an easy installation, as mentioned in The Wirecutter review. I appreciated that no exterior supports are needed. My wife is sensitive to the louder sounds of most window air conditioners, and she has no problem sleeping with the Windmill on all night. It is the perfect solution for our bedroom.

I live in a 3 story townhouse with no central AC in CO. The bottom floor stays cool year round but the main (middle) and top floor tend to get pretty hot during the summers. I bought two of these window AC units for each of the bedrooms on the top floor and they work great at keeping the rooms cool. Even more, if I leave the bedroom doors open, the AC units cool my main (middle) floor so I haven’t needed to buy anything else to cool the rest of my house.
