Great product, some tips for potential buyers

I spent three miserable summers without air conditioning because I didn't want to spend $900 on a new unit and was too nervous to take the console apart and try to solder the wires to the temperature controller. I can't believe I didn't find this product sooner, it's great to have AC again. Very easy to install with a few notes: 1: The new bulbs are definitely annoyingly weak, I don't think they need replacing, not sure why they're on. 2: When replacing the light bulbs, do not try to force them into the socket, you can easily break the circuit board with the required force. I have found that the easiest way to do this is to partially insert them and then wiggle them with a screwdriver, this requires very little downward force. , you may not know how tape connections work. The manual doesn't address that. You cannot force the band, the mechanism holding the band must be pulled up until it clicks and the band immediately rises. I've found that it's easiest to run your fingernail under the hem at the end of each side of the ribbon.

Pros
  • Chic design
Cons
  • Expensive
