Does the unit have to be centered in the window or does the window slides on the sides allow it to be pushed to one side or the other?

Does not have to be centered. I however feel that ALL window units do not seal tightly and you will need to do some creative handy work if you want it sealed tight. I liked the unit, worked well and was quiet.

compared to other units, this has a lever. it will slide right in there - just jiggle it a little left to right.

No. It is meant to slide into grooves. Not too difficult once the window sash is removed from the frame.

It is not a corner unit. It could be placed between windows or in the middle of the wall if necessary. However, we do use ours in the corner because it fits so perfectly between the window and the side wall.

It is actually best in a window horizontally. However, my window is not wide enough so I have it mounted vertically and it works just fine that way as long as I am willing to deal with reading the different speeds sideways. If I was able, I would to mount it horizontally.

On the panel that you're talking about, make sure that it's not upside down. It's actually a window and it has two latches to keep it closed by sliding along the bars.

I think it depends on the design of your window. Our windows slide sideways on one side. We use only one wedge at the top and it's extremely strong and not going anywhere. We have forgotten about them and hit the wedge before, it only gets locked in tighter the harder you try to open the window --- there's no way a child is going to move it once in place unless they can physically reach the wedge and are strong enough to pull it off --- the velcro is also very strong.

mine is in a window. i do not see why it couldn't go in a wall, depending on the depth of the unit of course.

The storage shelf has to pull straight out and then all the way to the right in order for the second shelf to pull out. Anything that blocks the slide right will prevent it working. We had double doors and the right door could not lay flat so it wouldn't slide. We took the right door off the hinges and attached it to the left door so it became one large door that swung left. Then we could work the storage shelves.

Supposed to be able to install window or through wall. Mine installed in window. Also have Kuhl installed in wall. Depending on your budget, I would go with Kuhl if through the wall.

No, it actually slides into a track on the window. There is a thin hard plastic film that slides into the track and the fuzzy part sticks out.

It goes on the inside of the window. It is sometime hard to tell which side to put on the glass but if it doesn't want to cling, just flip it over. I'm very pleased with the results. Good luck.

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.

We use tension to attach the unit in our window. It is in an upper portion of the window, with the lower window pane pushed up to support the bottom of the unit. However, we do recommend the use of strong wrapping tape (packaging tape) to help to support the unit so that it does not have any chance to fall.

Yes, the directions include that option. The only caution is if the door is pushed all the way open while the unit is down, it may get damaged since you have to lift the rod up at the back a little first when closing the unit. So you may want to install a door stop if you do that, even use a moveable one depending on if the door opens only 90 degrees instead of 180. I already tossed the extra stuff that came with it, but I think it has a bracket that goes over the top of the door so it does not rely completely on screws into the door to hold it up. I love these things. I have two.

I took the slide out unit out of the frame and very carefully installed the frame in the window. Pay close attention to the instructions. Jim

Yes, I am using my unit in a horizontal position - as an entertainment center and it works well / looks great. Of course, if I were you, I would go ahead and check out the dimensions and double check the space you have under the window. If the dimensions work there, I would imagine that it would look great on its side under the window.
