Bubba, top priorities quick cool down and quiet. The GE unit istops in both
areas according to Consumers report.
Also, it's the most difficult to install. I'm not going through the hassle
of buying a 14,000BTU unit via the internet then spending a few hours
installing it. The extra couple of hundred is worth it to me.

Quick cool down? If it is sized to cool down quickly then it is
probably an oversized unit. This will cause uncomfortable high
humidity conditions, potential mold growth and higher operating costs.
Tops in both?
Bull shit. Any oversized unit will cool down quickly. Its the ability
of things called BTU's.
Most difficult to install?
How the hell hard is it to open a window, set in a window shaker and
close the window? If you like to pay hundreds to accomplish that, I
believe I have a bridge Id like to sell you...........very, very
cheap.
There's nothing wrong with "more money than brains". Those are my
favorite customers.

Don't think I've ever seen one with a grill over the back. Unless you
have people who like to throw rocks or baseballs, I wouldn't worry
about it. The filter seems to be what is done now-a-days. I guess
all the moisture collecting on the evaborator will help keep it clean.
