The width of this A/C unit is 16" but it says the minimum window width is 23". My sliding window is 21 1/2 on the opening side. Will this fit??

I believe the extra width indicated includes the side panels. It may have to be installed without the panels and foamboard used to fill the space. It is one of the smallest I have seen. It is still heavy. our 12,00 btu here at work only measures 23" wide without the panels. the product demensions are correct without the panels.

You can install the unit, it will fit in 16", but the side panels won't. But with a slider you can slide the window up against it. But it's made for a double hung window and needs a sash to come down on top of it to hold it in place. You could devise some way of putting a bar across the top anchored to the sliding sash and jamb. It's a neat little unit.

The A/C unit by itself is 14.5" wide... when you add the bracket which seals the top and side of the unit in the opening, it adds 2.5" to the overall width... The unit by itself requires that the window opening be at least 14.5 " in order for it to fit in. With the sealing bracket installed INSIDE the window opening it will fit inside a window frame width of 17 inches.

Our sliding screen door tracks seems to have the same measurements. It was a snug fit, but the screen door is usable again. Yahoo!

The window panel that comes with the portable air conditioner can extend from 28'' to double size. If your sliding door is less than 56'' tall (very unlikely), then, it would work. Otherwise, you will have to find a larger window panel to block the open portion of the sliding door.

I realize that this answer is a little late, but we could not measure the A/C until we took it out for the winter [There are blocks of wood and shims involved because we have replacement windows]. The unit itself is about 16 inches wide. Each expander can adjust from 4 to 10 inches. So, this A/C unit could be used in window openings from 24 to 36 inches. If you used this unit in a 40 inch wide window, you would have at least 4 inches you would need to fill with something else, like a block of styrofoam. Hope this helps.

the front of the unit is 14.5 inches, the flange that holds it into the window, is another,1.5 inches on both sides. if you slide the unit into the opening, it will fit if you don't have to slide it further than the flange. there is also about a 1/2 inch flange on the top.

The width is 26.5 . I really recommend anyone to buy this air conditioner because it works wonderful. It cools very quick therefore, it will save energy because you won't have to have it on for long periods of time.

Hello.. the window MAXIMUM should be 23 since the size of the actual unit is 16". Meaning it comes with expanders. @@" wide window is a typical window and this will fit like a glove. Happy shopping

In all honesty, I couldn't tell you. The window bracket has an additional sliding part to fit larger windows. But even the base part was too large for my window and I had to cut some of it off. Also the window bracket can be installed vertically for sliding windows.

It is hard to visualize your window, which may be your bedroom window, but here goes the additional suggestions, which i thought of after I sent you the email: contact the manufacturer through Amazon. You will probably need a board at the top of the air conditioner to close up space, if this is a screen window. the strips of stuffing close up the small spaces around the A/C, as they did for me. I have sliding windows, from left to right in the bedroom, so one of the windows had to be removed along with the screen. Best Regards, Irene

The unit itself measures 16" wide without the side panels. I guess you would have to skip the install kit since you have barely 1/2" on each side. Perhaps you can put some type of insulation to fill the gap.

Can someone confirm the width? My window is also a 15.25" wide casement... Flor5586 says yes it will fit but wheelindealin says no... :/

I doubt it. The nominal width of the unit, not counting the flanges, is 19". If both the unit and the window are precisely 19", there is zero clearance, so it would be difficult, if not impossible to install. My unit actually measures slightly more than 19". In my opinion, your window opening should be at least 19 1/4 to 19 1/2 inches wide to provide enough clearance for the unit to be installed easily.

Minimum is 16" high x 22 1/8" wide. This includes the accordion side panels that fill the side gaps in a window. If you remove the accordion side panels, then the width changes to 19 1/4".

Not without adding a flange, of wood most likely to the vertical side that meets the sliding window. It will fit into the sash itself on the jamb side, but the unit is extremely front heavy (the side with the motor) and it will fall out if not held with a flange. The flange has to be attached to the fan housing and be wide enough to be screwed to the sliding window. Make sure your opening is bigger that the housing. Fill in above the fan with1/4" plywood or similar. Again this will pose more problems in working out how to get everything flush. It can be done, but you need to be, or have access to someone who is pretty handy at this sort of thing.

The unit is too tall for a double hung window. The narrowest measurement is the width. It is a great unit. We cut a hole in the wall and installed it near the ceiling so it would vent the hot air in the room quickly. Most AC units do not vent inside air to the outside anymore. It will cool down our room which is 9 by 19 with a angled ceiling from 115 degrees to the 70's in about 10 minutes. Hope the info helps you.

No. The unit measures 16" without any panels attached. I have 16" wide window frames, and the unit just BARELY fits. It's not going to fit in anything under 16" wide.
