Does what it's supposed to do. No problems – Purchased from Air-conditioning Warehouse to replace an old (1970's) box A/C. It's installed in a double brick wall and works as intended, being somewhat quieter than expected (though still louder than a split system), and copes fine with hot weather (I'm in Adelaide). Overall it works as expected, no complaints. Doesn't have any fancy functions, just basic settings for temperature, mode etc, but it does the job.
For installation, the machine slides out of its cabinet on a chassis so can install the box first, get that secured, then just put the machinery back in (easily done, it's all on the one tray and just slides back into the cabinet) then clip the front cover back on. Easier than it sounds and it only requires undoing a couple of screws to do that, which is detailed in the manual.
Can also route the cable to come out either side, whichever is preferred.
Tip - set the mode to heat or cool, set the fan speed to auto and temperature as required. This works a lot better in my experience than setting the mode to full auto. Also make sure to point the outlet louvre down for heating, up for cooling, as this improves performance.
