I'd take that sucker back if you can. You should be able to buy *two*
10KBTU window units for $500. Next time, think Panasonic, maybe
Sharp. The most recent Consumer Reports had a nice report on window
units, so a trip to the library might be in order.

And if you see maytag air conditioners just keep on walking. Two friends
bought then this summer. One bought an 8,000 & a 5,500 BTU and the other has
a 6,000 BTU unit. They seem to be a good example of a company using their
formally good name to make junk. In each case there is a throb
throb throb throb throb compressor sound
that is so load that you can barely carry on a conversation.
