Reliable brand with a great product

I have been using the Impecca air conditioner for a few weeks and so far I think it is a good product at a great price. It is smaller and lighter than my previous air conditioner but still very powerful. The 5000 BTUs is enough to cool my small bedroom and the High Cool 7 setting can make my room extremely cold in just an hour.
A helpful tip for keeping the room cool at night is to run the AC for 1-2 hours on the High Cool setting before the temperature drops below 60 degrees, then shut it off for the night. Adding insulation foam to the windows and doors can also help keep the room cool for longer periods.
I learned not to run the window AC when the temperature outside is below 60 degrees because it can freeze up the unit. This may have been why my previous air conditioner kept shutting off on cold nights. The Impecca air conditioner was easy to install right out of the box, and I only needed a Philips screwdriver. According to the installation manual, the 5/16 pitch is built into the design of the unit and there is no need to worry about it. Also, when installing the side panels, make sure to lay the unit on its back with the buttons face up to slide each panel through the 4 holes on each side.
I almost didn't buy this air conditioner due to the negative reviews, but now I realize that people tend to give too much weight to negative product reviews. Most electronics are tested before sale and rarely fail right out of the box. It's worth noting that most people only leave reviews if something is wrong with the product, which skews the reviews in a negative way.
My only complaints about this air conditioner are that it does not have a built-in timer (which could have raised the price) and the knob for turning the unit on and off could eventually break off. Lastly, the air conditioner did not produce super cold air immediately right out of the box. It took a few hours for it to get really cold, so that's something to keep in mind.
