My problem with window units in the past has been they left gaps where bugs could get in, what about this one?

the seal on these is pretty basic, but you could buff up the seal with caulk or tape. it definitely isn't as awkward as a window unit.

For my unit I didn't have to take out the screen to install it. So, never had a problem with bugs. However, I just double checked my unit, and from what I can tell there are no gaps or cracks large enough for bugs to come through, unless they're ants maybe.

There is no need to remove the screen with this unit, it's technically not a window unit, it's a portable. The hot air is simply expelled out the window through the hose. The window kit that comes with it worked perfectly for me. So bugs coming in aren't a worry :-)

I never had problems with bugs coming in. It's not an air tight seal, but they way vents to the window you can leave the screen on, so no bugs when I used it. In fact the way it connects to the window for venting was the one thing I didn't have a problem with.

I cut a pool noodle and slipped it over the plastic vent piece to create a better seal when you shut the window down onto it.

It's true that it interfere with the upward operation of the window. I was able to sand it a little bit to minimize the interference and I also applied a thin coat of silicone on the window channel and the ventshade channel area, this helped a lot.

No there shouldn't be. The biggest gaps might be between roof and the sides but they are very small. Like maybe bugs? But we've had no problems since early spring installing it

I did not have that problem with mine. It sounds like the upper and lower tracks that the doors slide in are not parallel. If you've assembled it correctly then your only recourse may be return it for a non-defective unit.

no, i am not having any of those issues. those two issues sounded related to installation. our site had to be adapted to accommodate the unit but it sits perfectly.

My unit does not continue to scroll, I haven't had any trouble with mine. I would think something is not right with yours.

Sorry for the late response ! & that all depends on which version of W8 you're running. If its 8.1 then I'm sure it's an issue with W8 its self cause a lot of people report 8.1 has bugs. If you don't have 8.1 just restart everything if that doesn't work I'm not sure what the issue is honestly !

Had the same issue, it's an alignment problem. We slightly loosened the screws on the black window ring and it works perfectly.

I don't have that problem. But I remember reading about it in reddit . com and an easy fix. Forgot what it was. Did you remember to remove the thin plastic protection stickers? On the inside? Also, wipe it clean and see if that helps.

I haven't had that problem, except in regards to a steam mod. For bugs, I would recommend contact customer tech support via phone number in back of game manual. They helped me.

Check the number of heaters, also whether they are Ceramic Heater or Carbon Fiber Heater. The Carbon fiber heater is higher, which this one has. You might want to check the size also. I didn't want the windows which is what I think you are comparing it too.

I don't know. Try looking under Window's control panel in Devices to see if there is a setting for this (just a guess) - your other options: do a Google search on the product or go to the manufacturer's web site. That is all I can suggest.

I have had a few problems with it as well.I didn't overly try the unit but my guess would be related to possibly a download from the manufacturer.

There is a window (not pictured) half way downedit: mine has a silver top, not black, so they may have changed designs

I had the same problem and found the following problems. Dogs and Birds flying in front of the motion detector. I also some a problem with branches following in the breeze that I had to trim. After the branches were trimmed the problem when away. The branches were about 25 feet from the unit.
