Durable unit, sturdy construction, well-built.

I received the unit today with a new sleeve and installation was easy, taking only 60 minutes, including removing the old rusted sleeve. It replaced a Cool-Living 14,000 btu unit that only lasted 4 years due to rusting. This new unit is quieter and cools much faster, taking only 30 minutes to cool a 30x20 bedroom from 82 degrees to 68. The only downside is that I wish the cord was 2 feet longer. Despite not being a fan of Impecca, I am impressed with this item.
I also want to address some concerns I've seen in other reviews. The lack of a drain on the unit is intentional, as modern energy efficient AC units are designed to use condensation to cool the rear condenser, making them more efficient. Drilling a hole to add a drain would reduce the unit's cooling capacity. Additionally, the plastic fan is used to prevent rusting.
Lastly, the packaging was sufficient for regular shipping, but I urge caution when handling packages to prevent damage during delivery.
