My windows slide right to left (horizontal), and not the usual vertical up or down. Will the machine/window kit work for me? Thanks!

I have a window that goes up and down. Depending on how tall your window is, it would work. If it is a window on floor level, I don't think I would use this cooler with those types of windows.

Yes, my window that the unit is in opens sideways. I think you will be very happy with it.

Maybe. Sometimes they stick and sometimes they don't. We already stopped using it. Apparently, windows are more fun.

Yes, it does. I use use the horizontal mode but it will work vertical, also.

Yes, I had mine done in less than 5". Instruction are basically the same for either type of sliding window. UPDATED 5/11/2015: This will work in a casement/crank-style window with a little ingenuity, please see my review on how others have fixed this problem.

Anyone ever install infront (outside of house) of the sliding door. Where your sliding screen would be. This would allow your glass sliding door to shut as normal. I picture adding my own brush sweep along the vertical edge to help with air lose. Comments and pictures would be helpful.

I suggest going to a place that specializes in Plexiglass and have a piece of that cut to fit the difference between where the window kit ends and the top of the slider. Go for a bit thicker than thinner so it doesn't bend easily, plus it will look nicer during the daylight hours than a solid item like wood... We have a Tap Plastics out here in Northern California - Good luck!

I installed two units in windows that slide sideways to close, I have only one side catching the window, but have had no problems with the conditioner falling out.

You can not use this unit for a side slide window, they make special units for side windows. They cost much much much more.

make certain the front top part is correctly fitted when closed... then tap the windowto see if the window will swing in arch.... the fit of the top section is crucial (in myexperience)..... good luck

Absolutely not. My window is the same. This thing is garbage. I'd definitely get a different one.

If somebody knows haw to put a regular window AC in windows that slide horizontally, I would like to know, because I can't imagine how, that's why In most countries of Europe, AC look total different :one part outside, a tube, and one part inside,...so my answer is : NO

Yes- the way it mounts doesn't change. You may have to get creative depending on your window design but I have them mounted vertically and horizontally with no problem.

Had the same issue, it's an alignment problem. We slightly loosened the screws on the black window ring and it works perfectly.

I believe you would need a total of 4 modules, since you want to make each window roll up AND down. So one module per window in that configuration. If you can find the 530T module available, it is a better option (has more features and you would only need 2 of them for 4 windows) but may be discontinued. Hope that helps.

yes, it sounds like a defective unit, it shouldn't slide as you've described it. good luck.

To the extent that the unit is about 6" in depth, it does "jut" out from its plastic frame on both sides by about 3" each side. There is a slider that accommodates the width of the window space in which you would like to place the unit. The entire unit fits into the frame of your window. It is ideal for vertically sliding windows. Just slide the window open, place the unit inside, and slide the window pane in place gripping the top of the fan's frame. The unit also fits in horizontally sliding windows--in this case width becomes height. Very versatile and user-friendly fan. Quality for the price.
