Hi All,

I've been replacing window units in an apartment complex as they go bad -
been trying different brands as an experiment. In one apartment, I
installed a Maytag. In the 2 years this unit has been in service, it's
had three service calls for complete failure.

A well-seasoned appliance repair veteran tells me this unit is junk. I've
also heard some pretty bad things about these units from another dealer.
Anyone know what's going on here?

I just bought and installed a window unit - Sharp Ultra-Quiet and it
sounds like a threshing machine.

To top it off, I ordered it from amazon.com and they sent it from
J&R, and it was a repackaged repaired unit sold as new.

It has dents all in the case where the compressor came loose and
banged around in a prior life. They reattached the compressor and
stuck it back in the same case and boxed it up as new again.

Shame on you, J&R, Sharp and Amazon.com
