I was not going to purchase another SoleusAir product due to the servicing options require shipment to their repair facilities. However, the saddle design of this unit was way too interesting to resist, and it delivers! Installation was interesting, but it will go much easer next season. Breaking it down for winter storage was a snap. My only criticism is the lack of indoor bracing, so I just used a few rolled up socks stuffed between it and the wall to firm it up from being tippy. I have the unit tilted/sloped about a quarter inch to the outside, so have had not any issues with it leaking. It might be a problem in a high humidity environment, but in Washington State we do not have the same humidity as down south along the Gulf. We got the unit late in the session, so it will be interesting to see how it does during a heat wave. Long story short, I really like this unit, we installed it in the bedroom and I did not notice the compressor at night for several days. It is a little noisy outside, but nice and quiet inside the room where it really matters. The unit cools well, and have found the sleep mode does a good job, and I even like the energy saver for when I’m not in the room. We have a ductless heat pump for the main rooms, this unit is very similar in function. I am also very pleased with having most of our window unblocked, and the size of the unit inside the room.
