This is a very bulky unit. There is no way to lift it up. It needs grooved handles like other manufacturers have. An oscillating vent would be helpful. The recommended intake vent screen should be included in the box, it’s currently available as an option for $25-30, this is essentially an expensive piece of plastic with mesh in it.
There needs to be an easier way to remove the hose from the window kit and the back of the unit. It requires alot of downward pressure to depress the tabs in prior to forcing the hose out of the very tight fit. This makes it’s easy to break in place.
