Instead of being a cellophane tape such as packaging tape, this is a vinyl tape. very flexible, with a mild resin type adhesive which seems to peel right off glass and woodwork without leaving residue or harming the surface. I have been impressed with it and plan on using this product again.

I was wondering that, too, Blake. It seems that horizontal window fans are difficult to find. Is that because it's best if you can block off the rest of the window? Anyway, I am going to order the fan for the convenience of having a remote control and the reverse capable fans. I'll tape it in, if nothing else! :) I will post a review after I have used it. Another poster wrote:on May 3, 2011 6:26:01 PM PDT (regarding using the fan in the vertical position): TheyCallMeMcGyver says: Nothing says that it can, but I just bought one and I did just that, ie installed it vertically in a window opening 21" wide x 24" high. This meant the unit fit quite snugly from top to bottom, but there is a fair amount of "open" space on the sides. For my installation the open space on the sides isn't an issue. I wasn't trying to block in the entire window opening. I just needed to put something in the opening to move the air in/out. The only downside, if you want to call it that, is that the temp display is now sideways.

From my experience with 6 window AC units presently is that there's two things that make them noisy. 1) was is damaged during shipping and now there's loose parts rattling around, and 2) is it installed correctly/securely? 4 of my 6 units are this exact model. These are better than average. My next window AC will also be this model.

Has anyone recently tried these on a Windows 7 laptop.? Reviews are strong but aged and I just got my first laptop 2 months ago. Don't know if I want to risk buying this without some current feedback on the Win 7 issue.

You had my curiosity up with this one so i did put this fan in my window vertically and had no problems. The fan fits perfectly in my window track very snug and has a place for the cord to fit so it does not get pinched in any way. the electronic part goes on the left, and the right side fits snug into the window track. the window screen gets a little pushed out either way but have had no problems at all. Good luck, really like my fan.

There is a slot or groove (L shaped) on the fan where you just lower the window into this groove for a sealed fit, and also panels on the sides to slide to the edges of the window for a secure fit. Very easy to install and uninstall. It fits pretty flush with the inside and doesn't stick out into the room. Hope this helps. Good fan, good choice.

I didn't get any instructions with mine either, but I would say, wash your window and squeegee it on... We haven't put ours on the window yet... Wish I could tell you exactly how too... Enjoy it when you get it on :-)

Have you tried "classic shell" yet. Makes it operate like win 7, but faster. Also boots into desktop vs metro crap. I have not seen thAt metro screen in the 5 months i've had classic shell. But if you still need to go to win 7 you will need a key ($100) and a install disk or usb.

Got any pictures? I remember feeling like I was stretching it a bit when I first installed it. It's also much easier in warmer weather. I could maybe help out more if I saw pictures and better understood the problem.

It's very simple and cheap. Use a 2x4 or a big wooden dowel cut to size. I used to live in some apartments and I had just bought a new window unit. I cut a 2x4 to size and put it in the upper portion of the window which prevented the window from being opened. I left for awhile and when I came back home I found that someone had tried stealing my A/C unit but failed because of the 2x4. It works!

They changed the control panel and it's really weird... I fiddled around and if you hold temp and temp up buttons simultaneously, it can be moved up. However, I just tried it on mine and it's been a few months and it got a little wonky...very cold out . So be careful and if I get to the right sequence and remember I'll repost and update. Good luck !

Clean the window and the suction cups. Wait until dry then place. Should stick very well after that. I haven't had any problems since.

I installed mine in a horizontally sliding window. It's a non-std windows at 34" tall. I just turned the fan 90 degrees and installed it inside the window sill. I can still open and close the window with the fan in it and removing it is easy with the storm guard. My standard windows are 39" tall so you would need to shim this fan with a 2" block of wood on the bottom. The storm guard extension actually extend to about 37 inches. Or you could get the Air King 20" window fan (also avail on Amazon) which should fit a 38-43" inch tall horizontally sliding window (if the 16" Lasko, which is made by Air King is any guide to the max extensions on the storm guard). Here's a pic: http://bit.ly/1hxnzGk Note the window being closed to the left edge of the fan. There's a very small gap there. I used some foam to fill it, but then discovered it wasn't really needed. For a 2100 sq ft house, medium speed (which is fairly quiet) is plenty to bring in cool night air.
