Summary: Great Option for Narrow windows
Comment: When I was told by the local appliance store that my 18" windows were too narrow for a through-the-window air conditioner, I thought of cursing the carpenter who talked me into putting these windows in...the salesman also told me that these AC units are loud and don't last as long as window units...my employees in the office where I needed AC were complaining about the heat and humidity during the summer. I saw this Sharp unit at Costco and the "Library Quiet" description, so grabbed it.
The directions state that the vent can not be installed in windows narrower than 22", but after calling Sharp customer service and a 10 minute conversation with their helpful customer service rep, I discovered this is not true if you don't intend to install the vent hose permanently (I take mine out at the end of the day.)
While I did screw the retainer into place over the supplied foam inside of the window frame (not within the travel of the sash, but further inside the room, with just enough clearance for the window sash to move up and down its full travel and close) I found that taking the "rain guards" out of the vent frame is an easy procedure at the end of the day, as well as replacing it in the morning, when the weather requires AC. That allows the window sash to close after the "rain guards" and hose are removed.
For this reason, I had no problem hooking up the vent hose in the morning, and taking it off in the evening. Since this is used in an office, I need the unit functioning only during working hours. No need for duct tape, though I do need some a little additional weatherstripping near the window along the top of the exhaust vent frame.
For those who mention the heat exhausted from the hose...yes, the hose runs warm, but that heat is exhausted from the room! No complaint from me on that issue.
My employees are delighted with the quiet operation and the comfort level in the 600 sq' room during 90+ degree F, humid days here in the NYC area. All-in-all, this was an excellent buy, if a bit expensive for an A/C.

Summary: Highly Recommended
Comment: Well I bought this unit at the same time as another 10,000 BTU portable AC unit by Royal Sovereign. The Sharp was about 20% more expensive but it more than makes up for the additional outlay.
This unit is very nicely designed, it's sleek and clean looking and quite small and light. The best bit of the design is the way the the back steps down so that the outlet hose comes out pointing upwards instead of backwards - this is great because it means that the unit can go right back against the wall to optimise space yet the hose is still concealed by the front of the unit. The other thing which makes this unit a much better buy than the R-S unit I bought is the noise of the Sharp is very acceptable (it's about half that of the R-S unit when both are running at their full cooling potential).
I've had the unit for a couple of weeks and haven't needed to drain it at all yet - unlike my R-S unit which I have drained at least 5 times.
I'm very pleased with this and would certainly recommend it to anybody who is looking for a portable AC unit - please bear in mind though that portable AC units do be less efficient than window units and do take up a fair amount of floor space! However if you are looking for a portable unit I'd certainly go with this one. If you have a large room you should consider going for the more powerful version but for a medium sized room this one is pucker : )

Summary: A warning to all
Comment: For respect to your time I won't write too much - but this was my experience.
1. It is big, but it has wheels. Above average weight to carry/ put in car.
2. Remote is the only one with display
AND this is why I returned 2 days later.
It omits quite some heat through the pipe that goes to your window.
I had it pointing to my monitors since they are (well were) the main cause of heat in my room. As I walked away from my desk, I noticed that the rest of the room was quite warm. Little did I know that these things release a hell of a heat wave from behind.
I took a thermometer and placed it on the pipe/ tube - 85F+. I have it at 70 - 75F in the front is good, but the back is worst than the heat outside, and sadly the rest of the room temp didn't change before I brought it.
Anyone else with this issue? My friend has a similar unit a SAMSUNG, except he made a complete whole on his wall for the tube/pipe. I should've asked him why, because this is not a light box to carry around.

Summary: Great product, try to find it in your local store
Comment: I have bought this air conditioner in Bed & Bath, cost me $478 with tax (I used 20% discount coupon). Note this is much cheaper than online, plus you don't have to pay for delivery (retail box fits into my Nissan Sentra, a shop assistant did all the carrying and the loading, so I didn't have to do a thing). Plus the returns are much easier should you need it. But I am so far not planning to return it. I am quite happy with it. It took me no more than 30 minutes to unpack and instll. It is quiet, I've seen conditioners noisy as jumbo jet, but this one is different. It is smart and simple, and it really does the job. My bedroom is about 20'x 15', and it cooled it down from 80 to 68 in maybe half an hour. It is portable, so I could move it to other rooms if I wanted to. So far I am not planning, but it is nice to have options. And one more thing: it is NOT made in China, so you are protected against the worst workmanship this planet can get you.
