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.A 6,000 BTU U that carries the V1QWT suffix but isn't on the recall list, since the recall stops at 8,000 BTU. Fine to buy if you find one; the suffix alone doesn't make it a recalled unit.

Watch out forNot the Windmill Original or WhisperTech; the Lite is a different, smaller unit.Same V1QWT suffix as the recalled 8,000-12,000 BTU originals; only the 6,000 size is clear.
