Our scoreNot reviewed yetSCORE6.3 / 10
Our takeWindmill's separate budget line at CEER 11.0. We haven't reviewed it; for a quiet, efficient small-room unit we'd buy an LG or Midea inverter instead.The basic small-room window unit: knob controls, 150 sq ft, CEER 11.0 and a 13 in window opening. Fine for a small bedroom on a budget; louder and less efficient than an inverter unit.

Watch out forNot the Windmill Original or WhisperTech; the Lite is a different, smaller unit.Water sloshing inside is the slinger design and normal per Frigidaire; drilling the base pan voids the warranty. Keep the 5/16 in rear pitch or it leaks indoors; owners report mildew smells in humid weather. Warranty excludes units transferred from the original owner.
