Do these pe*ple not know window units exist???
Those only really work for American style up down windows. In Germany and most eu countries a different style are used. They are hinged on both the bottom and the side and you can choose which set of hinges to use. Very useful but not compatible with American style window AC units. If you google for “German window” you’ll see the memes.
I've seen the memes I just don't understand how no one has come up with a window unit that can be properly mounted to them. Window units have been around for decades and not one engineering company has capitalized the idea?
I think the engineering would be so complex and so particular to a window type/size, that it's just not worth it. At some point, installing an external unit and wiring/ducting through the wall is actually the simpler solution.
