Good air conditioner

[Vinsanity93]

Hey guys, could any of you recommend a good air conditioner? Preferably less than about $500. My room is about 18Lx16Wx10H ft.(I may be exaggerating) and I have casement windows (-___-) so I can't get the "usual" ACs. I saw a commercial for ones that you put on a wall, on top of a door or something, I think it was a Mitsubishi.

Any help is appreciated

Get central air. Well worth it.

I have this air conditioner. Great investment. Cools down decent sized rooms in seconds.

Amazon.com: LG Electronics LP6011ER 6000 BTU Low Profile Energy Star Window Air Conditioner with Remote: Home & Garden

That's going to be difficult to persuade my parents lol

So if you can't have a window mounted A/C due to type of windows in your place. You could always have a wall mounted unit, if it's only one room you want to A/C.

This is similar to what my neighbour has. Small unobtrusive indoor unit, hoses go through a hole in the wall. All the main gubbins, fans, compressors and things are in a box fixed to the outside wall.

We have a Mitsubishi (resembling the unit in the picture above) in the basement where I work. I am not sure why, as we have central air. Perhaps it has been around since before we got central air, but the unit doesn't look old.

Where in NY do you live. The store locator seems to claim there is a Menard's at least in NYC.

You're right. I was looking at it wrong I guess (not sure how that's even possible LOL). You guys seem to have a couple Home Depots though. I see some window units for about $150. What are the dimensions of your window anyway?

I'd say 4 ft high and 2.5 ft wide, but I have to remind you that these are casements

Costco has a unit that sits on the floor and has duct hoses that go out the window to vent the heat out side. No idea how much $ though. I imagine other places have similar units.

Alright my parents decided to just put the AC in the wall, now I'm waiting on the person to do it
